Here I am! Rock you like a Hurricane (hehe)

Thanks Skkroll!!! :) i appreciate your support... ALOT.


My race went wonderfully today :) I actually set a new PR of 24:14!!! My time from last sunday was 24:48

So i am so extremely happy about that. I have improved my time every single race so far!!!:hurray: Also, my friend Monica ran with me today as did my boyfriend (gasp) and his buddy. They went out and bought sneakers and decided about an hour before the race they were going to register and run it.... without ANY TRAINING. Now my boyfriend skates... but not often and does not real cardio activity on a regular basis. His buddy is on a biking team... mountain bike racing, so he does get cardio... but i still thought they would be surprised at how hard the race would be with no training.

Boy was i wrong! I crossed the finish line WITH dans friend and dan finished at 26:26 which was great!!!

All 4 of us took him medals.
Dans friend took 1st place men 20-29, dan took 2nd place
monica took 2nd place women 20-29
and i actually took 1st place women overall and also 1st place women 20-29

It was a very small group running and alot of fun... but it was exciting that everyone took a medal home today!

i was so proud of everyone.... and i was so excited about my new time record!!! :)

I have attached some photos hehe.
One of my bf and i after the race, me getting my medal, dan and craig, and all of us together after getting our awards! :)


Thanks to those who follow my journal... you totally make it worth me typing all of this in here hehehe.

also, got some new under armor stuff ( hoodie and shirt) and nike thermal hat and gloves for the cold weather that is starting to set in!!! I am ready!!! :)
 
Congrats on getting a medal! :cheers2: 1st place. Woo!!!

And you can definitely see the difference in the Halloween pics. Great job.
 
oh crap.

well....

I was running errands at lunch today and i got super hungry.



i had the WORST binge ive had since i started my weightloss program. I just sat and ate an entire package of twizzlers. 130 calories a serving.... 5 servings in a package.

WOW.
:leaving:

i knew the whole time i was eating them that i shouldnt be and it was a terrible idea... but i did it anyhow... i couldnt stop.

now i am left with guilt. how annoying.:rant:

ive found my new weakness..... twizzlers need to not even be a part of my diet.... this is the second time in the last two weeks i had a binge and twizzlers were the cause both times. I just happened to be able to shovel some my bf's way last time.... this time i was alone to eat them ALL.

ugh. So that was 670 calories of nothing but sugar and empty calories.


GRRRRRRRRRRRR



i am gonna be hitting the gym hard tonight.... gotta burn off that crap.
 
Hey Melissa......

Damn Twizzlers!!!! lol but I hear you on that.... a whole bunch of sugar and empty calories, and for what?

I had an Oreo McFlurry yesterday... 550 calories.... did I need all that ice cream? No... but I ate it anyway..... so I went to the gym after and burned most of the calories off so I didn't feel quite as bad....

Have a nice workout, also congrats on the race this weekend! You are amazing!!! My 5K is on Sunday already... oh boy!!! :blush5:

that was me over the weekend. i would eat whatever it is that i'm eating even though my mind's telling me that i'm not supposed to. ah man, really really frustrating :(

glad to see you doing something about it though!!
 
I have the same prob...not with Twizzlers, dont get them here, but with sugar and junk food (particularly on weekends). I know i should stop, but I eat and feel guilty. Even with my bf saying don't eat it you'll feel bad. :(
Well done on the race though :)

haha!!! aw thanks woman!!!! i really appreciate your compliments... they are wonderful!!! totally made my day :)
 
Hump day :)

Things have been going well here… havent posted in a few days so I figured I would update everyone. I am doing well the last two days eating… esp after that twizzler meltdown…. And chocolate binge…. The same day! Well, surprise surprise… got my period today… DUH…. That explains EVERYTHING lol


Anyways, last night I hit the gym. I did 45 minutes on the cybex machine and burned 670 calories. Then I worked biceps and triceps… and I also did some squats and incline leg press because I didn’t get to do those this week and I already did a leg day Sunday so… that’s what I did. This morning I got up and did the morning gym, because I knew this evening I had other obligations. I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and then got on the cybex for 15 minutes….. that gave me over 30 minutes cardio this morning. Then my sister and I did the circuit machines and abs. it feels great having gotten up early and gotten my work out in. I find I also eat better the rest of the day because I don’t want to mess up all that hard work I did that morning!

I found a good breakfast for myself that actually seems to work really well with my body and my eating regiments. I found those jimmy dean lite turkey sausage bowls. They are 240 calories and 23g of protein. They are great tasting and they keep my full until lunch time so I am not snacking right before lunch. It seems perfect for me.

I am running a 2 mile run this weekend. Figured that might be fun to stretch myself… because while its less distance than a 5K…. it will have to be a faster pace in order to do well in it… so I am looking forward to seeing how I do! ?

Well that’s all for now peeps! Talk to you later
 
OH wow!!! You are doing SO AWESOME! A two mile run sounds like a lot of fun. I still can't get enough courage up to go running in a "race" like that. Gosh, I suck. I'm just not very good at running.

I need to get back out there!

Congrats on your progress!
 
Hey girl... good news in my journal, check it out!

And for the millionth time, THANK YOU for sharing your story... I can say that without a doubt, without having found you on here I would NOT be where I am today :)

I totally know what you mean about eating healthy all day after working out in the morning. Also if I eat bad during the day I find myself not as willing to go to the gym after because I think - oh I've already messed up today so I'll start again tomorrow. When I had a treadmill at home I would go on it every morning but now that I have to get dressed for the gym it makes it a little harder - good for you for going and getting it done!

heck ya girl!!! exercising also helps with my cramps.....makes them a little more manageable :)


Once i get out of bed and shut my alarm off... there is a 10 second window when i decide my bed snuggled up with my hunnie looks much more inviting.... or i better get my butt moving. those 10 seconds make or break the deal though.

aw hunnie, i am SO GLAD that you find my diary worthwhile reading! :Angel_anim:

Congrats on your run today!!!!

You know it's so funny that you put it that way...because YES, those 10 seconds are MAKE OR BREAK me...!! :banghead:...I generally open my eyes, see that I placed the alarm on, and find the alarm...(knowing that I want to go to the gym)...and find the snooze button...and BAM...I failed myself again and let the cuddle/sleep bug get me-EVERY morning. I'm gonna try like you say....1) Hear the Alarm 2) Open Eyes 3) Jump out of Bed NOW b4 the 10 seconds are up 4) Walk to the bathroom...this way...by the time, the 10 seconds are in...hopefully I can be up and not have the desire to cuddle in bed. :blush5:!!...LOL!!...

...Nice observations!!
 
Hey girl,
I'm so inspired by your ticker, 30 lb. lost, yah. ITs exactly how I want mine to look, haha. Anyway, hope those last three pounds are gonna GET GONE soon for ya! :puke: <--and not from that. LOL. Well I've been lazy on the exercise lately so I know that will help for sure. I am starting with walking so I dont get overambitious again like I always do. :gnorsi: I have to start up again becuz my meds did crazy things and I had to stop taking one because it was making me gain weight like CRAZY. Thank god its not essential. But what did I stop by here to say? I meant to talk about you..oh yeah, your new profile pic is HILARIOUS!! What is that, corn on the cob that you're eating??!
Later joker,
Ash
 
Hey guys!


Well this morning i got up and ran a little 2 mile race for MADD. It was fun. I came in 3rd for my age group..... they didnt give awards out for that... but hey its all good. My time was 14:39 and that is decent i suppose for a 2 mile.

I wore my new under armor shirt , hat, and gloves today because it was COLD!!!


Yesterday i got myself a little present. Over a year ago i found a tattoo that i REALLY wanted.... it starts on your ribs and goes down to my hip. I refused to get it though until i lost at least 20 lbs. Well, i did that awhile ago... but still wanted to lose a bit more. So at 30 lbs lost i finally got my tattoo i wanted :)


I am going to post pics. My request is that if you are not a fan of tattoos, etc... you not reprimand me and talk about how much i will regret it someday BLAH BLAH.


this is for ME... not anyone else.... and i am very happy i got it.


Its only 1/2 done.... its fairly large and hurts like a MOFO.

here it is so far :) ( last pic is what the end result will be similar to...)
 
Girl you got some balls for gettin' that tattoo!! Haha :p I like it a lot!!! It's very pretty... can't wait to see the finished product!!! I've heard that ribs are the worst spot to get a tattoo on the pain scale! You rock :D I'm too chicken to get a tattoo.. but I've been thinking about one that I want...... I want to get the Nike swoosh on the back of my ankle... I like what it symbolizes... "just do it"... running has become a big part of me already.. and I never thought I'd be where I am today if I didn't just DO IT!!! :)

Congrats on the run today! way to go :hurray:

~Sarah
 
OMG, it's gorgeous!!! I'm usually not a fan of large body tattoo's, but this is quite stunning. That is a very similiar look to the one I want on the top of my foot, and after seeing yours I want to get mine RIGHT NOW!!! ;)

Congrats girl, that is HOT :sifone:
