Hi there, just thought I would finally stop in and say hello.

Congrats on the half-marathon, sounds like you did really well!

The full marathon sounds very exciting.

I did a 10k on Sunday - just walked it. I'm hoping that in another 30 pounds or so I will be light enought hat my knees will be able to handle running. I'll start trying when I get there.

Sorry about your car. I know what it feels like.

Good Morning guys!!!!! :waving:

...I love when you guys stop by....REALLY!!!!!!!:hurray: Thank you!!!!

...So yesterday I rescheduled my case studies because my Running partner was having a family get together at her house last night...

I ate some DELICIOUS fish...these little baby potatoes made Peruvian Style..:drool5: and Salad...and Like a Million drinks it felt like :cheers2::puke:...hahahah...."I drank like a FISH!" ;) (i stole that saying from RJ :D)

...I feel okay this morning but in some SERIOUS need of a good workout...

...It felt good last night because everyone was complimenting me and my running partner over and over about how great we look and how we slimmed down A LOT ....and ALL OF A SUDDEN, EVERYONE WANTED TO GO RUNNING WITH US.... ...hahah

....The one great thing I LOVEEEEEED AND STILL LOVE ABOUT MY RUNNING PARTNER ...is she is no "PUSSY"...hahahah

...meaning she didn't ever say ..."Oh I can't run...how do you do it!?!" or .."I can only run this much"......she never EVER says things like that ...she is just always DOWN TO DO ANYTHING and NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT...and actually encourages me as well...vise versa...and TOGETHER ...man....we seem to think we can CONQUER THE WORLD!!!

...but yeah....so SUPPOSEDLY ....like 4 other people begged us to come running with us today....so I decided...hmmmmmmmm......where could I take them that's nice HARD and NEW!!!?!?!!?!?! :conehead:

...and WHALA....I'm gonna take them (wich will most likely just turn into me and my running partner..cause people are just FLAKERS..and talk a lot when they are drunk...and don't do shit about it sober...)...but yeah...SANTA MONICA...for like a nice 5.5 mile run and THEN.. there is this grueusome set of stairs...200 up and 200 down....(4-5 sets sounds good)....good enough to leave your legs trembling after.....:cheers2:

...gotta wash away the drinks somehow...right! ;)



Overall though...I might be melting a little bit more cause people can't stop telling me....(but me on the other hand....feel like a tubbo a lot of days...so gotta crack up on the eating here...AGAIN!)...story of my life...hahah
 
Hey Alta, how's it going these days? Are you still eating raw or what are you doing for your diet? I wanted to get some raw recipes from you..
...well on most days now...cause I needed to save $$$...i am just a vegetarian (with fish exemptions ;) ) ...but I have raw recipes galor!!!

...my favorite site of all for recipes WITH PICTURES for "Raw"...

...

GREAT SITE!!!!!...You can make an alternative to anything RAW!!! :D!!!

...I definitely want to start eating Raw completely...but I realized that on good months that I would eat healthy variety...95% raw days...my month was coming out around $350 on food alone ONLY at the MARKET..not eating out...+ eating out...man... :eek2:.....wayyyyyyy more than just regular eating....:(

...organic Raw products are FUCKED in prices...hahaha

Yeah, I wouldn't have even heard of this whole RAW thing if it weren't for you and Curvie Girlie. But I've been trying to eat better and decided to try it for some meals. I feel really great from just yesterday and today, eating lots of raw veggies! I usually hate veggies so I'm juicing them in the blender, and I mixed some spinach and tomatoe w/ guacemole..was really nice! It IS MAD expensive though! Sheesh.. I'm so lucky that I have a few wonderful gourmet markets that have everything that you need. I got some coconut milk and almond milk, plus almonds, some kind of seed (??) and tons of veggies. Keep posting your meals as you really did end up inspiring me to eat healthier.

WOW...look at you!!!...Good job woman!!!!...I'm so glad you've taken this initiative...it really is taking it back to Primitive days where everything was just AMAZING for your body....!!! :iagree:!

...Some things are easy to make yourself and they are down right delicious...

...like Hummus :drool5:...You just leave the garbanzo's soaking FOREVER it seems (24-48hrs +) til the damn things FINALL SPROUT!!!

...I really wanted to get into fermenting my own things as well!!!...Like sauerkraut, Raw yogurt, and all kinds of things...Raw Fermented drinks -probiotics and all!!!

...I'm gonna buy some seeds this weekend..and make some of my own Raw Almond Milk, or Hemp milk is really great for you as well!!!....

...I like the whole Raw thing because it's GREAT for a detox and a great way to cut down inches FAST!!....especially on your stomach...it's amazing the things your body does when it doesn't have to worry about equiliberating all these processed shelf life chemicals!! :D!!!

...GOOD FOR YOU!!!...You're inspiring me again!!!...:beating: I love it!!!

...i think this coming weekend....Hmmmm...RAW PESTO PIZZA sounds FANTASTIC!! ;)!!

...when did you become a Moderator? is that what Friendly mod stands for!!? ;)!!!

Hello Alta, I hope you are well.

My apologies for not comin' in to see how you're doing...been down.

Running is grand isn't it? WOOOT! It was like INSTANT results, amazing!! I'm glad you have a great running partner, you two sound like a perfect match! ;)

I am going to take a look at that raw site too! I liked the looks of that carrot pate' that you were making there for awhile.

The foods we put into our body is just like the running concept.(all the benefits start turning up & it's FANT-A-BULOUS!!!...as in this morning I had bread for the first time in FOREVER. And wow I could feel it just sitting there in my stomach. B4 switching to this 'new lifestyle" of watching what goes into my body and how I really react to it. IS AMAZING!!

I added another run to my day just in the past week, and WoW, I am droppin again like it's HOT!! :D Plus I can REALLY feel the difference of what another 30-60 min run does to me in a day! I GET TO EAT MORE!!!! WOOT!!!:hurray: Achey muscles too, so I am buildin an ass! ;)

Well I need to come to your journal more often. I always get soooo PUMPED!! :iagree:<<the m&m agree's that's gotta be a good sign..:D

Are you up for the post card challenge? I'd love a postcard from L.A. haha :D;)

Nice poem btw.

Well gtg Lata
 
Went for a Super nice run yesterday with my running partner Elena, and almost didn't go completely. We ended up deciding to kinda diss everyoneand just go me and her because at the end of story, they all wanted to run 3 miles and close to home. So we just said :waving: bye & took off to do a great workout!

..Santa Monica beach breeze, 5 mile run + 2400 steps up these INSANE stairs ....

...it's so funny cause going down reminds me of this little character, and going up is the little red one!....hahah :rant:

...We ran first, then came and did "6 sets" of steps (200 down + 200 up) until our legs were trembling and we really couldn't do anymore...and it was dark. The reality is that I could have done more, buttttt one time a long time ago, my legs trembled so much when I drove home that it was ANNOYING & SCARRY cause I kinda did lose control of the pedal...(could you imagine I lose control and step on the gas again and go too hard and BAM..accident...:willy_nilly:...soooo NO)....we stopped @ 6 cause of that.

Went to Vons last night bought:

-baked Pretzels fishies
-organic bananas
-organic almond milk (til i make my own hopefully this weekend :D)
-organic peanut butter (I wanted the almond one actually with no preservatives, but it was $7.99 versus $3.99...sooo :cool: whateva...this one had just peanuts and sea salt.)
-Eating Right-mixed vegetables with shrimp package
-Eating Right-pre packed baby carrots-bunch of packages
-Eating Right-Soy Burgers-4
-Red Wine-Merlot :)cheers2:)- I know, I know...but 1-2 cups here and there..F*^k it!
-organic garbanzo beans
-------------------------------------
$24.89 @ Vons (it was really late)..:chillpill: -should feed me for the week


(-and at home for the week, I still had some slices of 45 cal. wheat bread, with the devil :reddevil: cheese..which I ate this morning..doh..and some Kellogs cereal, oatmeal..and thats it!...haha...and Salmon @ my mom's for lunch if I go....so make due)

..Cutting back on stuff...cause I just found out that with this new position @ work here, I get a week paid vacation now, which I didn't get before....

I'd love to take a cruise with my bf, departing Italy for 7 days, porting @ 6-7 different ports in Italy and France, and umm...maybe Greece..something like that!..so saving money is definitely what I need, and these unnecessary expenses mean for more budgeting..!)..I love going on @ being my own travel agent. :hurray: I'd say I'm on that site ALL YEAR!..haha....:D!

...today I just have:

work 9-5 pm
school 7-10pm
-and Rest
( I usally go swim and to sauna tonight, but I can't get rid of this cough..)

...I think...next week, I'll weigh myself again...should be like a month. Let's see what happens...i'll drink 1 gallon of water AT LEAST every day til then....!!!!
