It Starts...

Its finny you say that you wish you were here for it... I was telling Step while we were running it that you would smash all the females!! One day I hope to be a ranking female...

You will! :coolgleamA: You're right, just keep it up. You do HIIT? It sucks; I HATE it. And I've been avoiding it--except for kickboxing drills. But I need to actually do that or Fartlek or SOMETHING, only way to really break a barrier and get faster!

Wow you mentioned ME?? :beating: Funny I was just telling Sam how I think about people on here during the day, randomly, even though I never "met" y'all! :eek: Cool!
 
My midterm yesterday evening went okay. I felt like I studied alot of the wrong material

I know how that feels! Ahhh it's been a long time since I been in school :sifone:

Once home I did exactly what Step told me not to do... clean house! :):) I can't help myself, I am just like my mother... I can't think of anything else unless the house is in decent shape.

VIRGO ALERT!!!:smash:

then I got a bfast burrito just a bit ago on campus. Ugh... I don't know why I get them they always make my tum tum hurt... ugh...

Been there, was it from a Roach Coach?

Its a run night, I'm hoping to get 3 miles in at a good time as well as a nice stretch and some foam rolling.

And ya... that's all... I'm having an 'ugly' day.

Awwww, nah! :icon_bs: Well, I feel you but like Trops said, you're so beautiful an "ugly day" for you is a "hot day" for most :) Hope you have a good run and take care of yourself!
 
I had a midterm today and did the exact same thing you did. I focused on the wrong material and my exam had some questions worth a hefty portion that I didn't know how to do. If I can get a 60 on it I'll honestly be happy.

Yay for clean houses!! :) And congrats on the race if I havent mentioned that yet. I'm jealous you actually took the initiative to join one. I've looking into soo many but just haven't actually signed up for any.
 
Just dropping by quick... sorry about Step's truck. That just really sucks.

And congrats on your race!
 
LOL funniest thing. I got your package back in the mail the other day. It said attempted, not known. I put your username though as your name as a joke. (Miss. D. Fitt). I'll pm you at some point to confirm I have the right address. Hope all is well otherwise :)
 
Hey there :)

I'm a lot like you. I can't let myself focus on stuff I need to unless the area I'm in is clean and clutter free... I'm not as OCD about it as I used to be but I am still kinda bad... Messes just completely drain my energy and focus from where it should be.

Hope your day is going nicely!

Ugh I hate when that happens. I felt like I really studied hard and then yeah the material that I knew that was asked I totally got but the rest I was really unsure of.... UGH!!! I'm still hoping for a decent score though...

Thanks for the congrats... Its like race season around here, there's like several in the coming weeks... I just wish they weren't so damn expensive to register for. But I highly recommend it!! Gives running a new purpose.

Weird, I was wondering how long it would take to get to me. I don't think the name matters only the address....
:ack2:

Yeah if the house is even a little messy I can't concentrate so its always what I do first when I get home or before I study. Step gets frusrated at me because I can't just sit for a min....

Thanks! :) I hope your day is going well too!
 
October 22

Okay now that I have replied to my fan mail... I can update the story of my life. Thanks everyone for stopping by. Alta and Val I didn't comment back but thanks for the encouragement... My day got better as it went on and my uglyness faded....

Today is going pretty good so far. Work is wicked slow so I'm getting alot done homework wise. I'm hoping to get it all done before the days end so this evening I can go to salsa. I was going to go last week but I had a hair appt. But if things don't change drastically in the next few hours then I will make it tonight. I didn't run last night and I don't really have an excuse. I went to the store after work and got stuff for the week and then started preping for dinner and picking up the house when I did get home... and before I knew it Step was like okay I'm here come get me... and then I made dinner... we watched the biggest looser while eating dinner and then went to bed....

I need a freaking plan. I haven't been serious about working out in weeks and I really need to get it together. I've been really pre-occupied with school and home life I just haven't had time to concentrate on me. But that's all changing TODAY!! A plan is building as we speak!

Um.... Tomorrow night the lady lobos volleyball team has a home game that I will be attending. TJ played volleyball in HS and wants to go and I'm all for it. I invited Step but he didn't seem to interested... but we will see if he changes his mind. I told him yesterday that he needs to take me out on a date. We haven't been on a date in months and its time. I like getting all dolled up to go out every once and a while ya know and feel girly!!

Okay THE PLAN
Wendesday: PM Salsa/Stretch
Thursday: AM Strength (Cathe Fredrich)
Friday: AM Stretch PM Academy Loop under 40 mins
Satruday: Circut/Kickboxing

And eats I'm going to work on getting back on track. Today I've had life cereal, a banana, and a homemade southwest salad for lunch (romain, tomato, bell pepper, onion, avacado, olive, green chili, black beans, girlled chicken, and a tiny bit of shreaded cheese). This afternoon's snack consists of an apple and an orange. I might have something before Salsa too but haven't decided yet!

TGIF!! I am happy that its finally Friday its been a long week seemingly. I'm hoping my 6 hours here at work go by quickly, but it seems there is not much going on. But that's why I bring my backpack with me!!

So I went to Salsa on Wednesday evening and had a freaking blast!! I don't know why I don't go more often its soooo fun and one hell of a workout... I'm still sore! My plan hasn't really worked thus far. Yeah I went to salsa but I couldnt drag my butt outta bed yesterday morning to strength train. I've decided that next week I am really going to try to get out of bed at a decent time. Step hits the floor at 5 and I come crawling out at least an hour later. But we plan to do the loop tonight which I am excited for, running is sooo great!!

I went to the doctor yesterday for my annual female check up. I had a whole list of things to go over her with... she is also my primary care doctor as well as a midwife... and awesome at that. She always sits and talks with me about everything before doing the check up and I really like that becuase I feel like she knows me... Anyway, I wanted to get a referral for PT for the imbalance in my back. She agreed that it would make a world of difference in more than just my posture. I also thought that I had or have rather a bit of a sinus infection which she confirmed. I also had a few questions about the BC I'm on and its effects as well as a few questions about my leg going numb when running. She said that most likely my body is just not used to running just yet and that over time it will get better. And she said to bring it up in PT so they can further investigate. Overall it was a good appt. All my female parts were normal which is always good. And overall she said I was one of her healthiest patients. :) Which made me very happy to hear!!

Um.... ugh I got my score back on my A&P midterm. I got a C... and I was able to go back over the test and sure enough all the ones I missed were diagrams and labeling... just as I figured. However with this score I'm still holding a B in the class so hopefully I can boost it up over the next 7 weeks. I have a better idea for the next exam for what to study!

That's all for now. I have some studying to do so I think I'll get with it!!

Cheers and Happy Friday!!
 
October 27 {Monday}

Its hard to believe that its already the last week of October and I feel like I've only gone backward this month. But I have one more week to turn things around and maybe even drop a few pounds.

It's never easy to balance everything and I find that dividing my energy to all the things I need and want to do is even harder. One thing will ALWAYS take priorty and the rest suffer. This month I put tons of effort toward school and little to myself... for November I am going to try to balance a little better and I already feel I am doing just that.

I've set a goal for this week to at least get out of bed at a decent time in the morning. If I have enough time to get some type of workout in then great, but as long as I am to work on time that's all that really matters. I typically make lunches in the morning, but I've found that if I make them at night then I don't have to stress over it and all I have to do is pack the stuff and out the door I go. This morning proved how much time I spend making lunches and what not. I was out the door around 6:35 and to work by 6:55... and I didn't even have to do my makeup at my desk!! (not that I wear that much makeup anyway).

I'm hoping to make this trend last so that hopefully I can start getting workouts in the morning. When I was with my trainer my workouts were T/Th/Sat from 5:30-6:30 and till 7:30 on Satrudays... and at that point I had to drive 40 mins to get to him so I was up around 4... If I really dedicated myself I could start doing this again and get a good hour's workout in before 6... because in order to be on time I need to be in the shower by 5:50... Maybe I will hit the floor just before 5 tomorrow and see how I feel. Step thinks I'm crazy to just get out of bed and start working out... I find it fully wakes me up.

But anyway, I am for real this time making myself accountable for my eating. And hopefully can keep a 500-700+ deficit daily. I don't think this will be a problem, I just need to write things down and put them into fitday. We didn't make a grocery list for this week, but I told Step I wanted fish for dinner so I see a trip to Whole Foods in our near future.

So workouts for this week are as planned:
Monday: PM Circut or Strength (depends soley on Stephen, if he doesnt want to circut then I will do my Cathe Fredrich Hardcore Max strength).
Tuesday: AM Kickboxing/PM Run 3+ miles
Wednesday: AM abs/PM Salsa
Thursday: AM run 2+ miles (depending on time)/PM Circut or strength
Friday: Loop (early since is halloween!!!)
Satruday: TBA

We ran the loop last Friday and we pushed ourselves a bit. There is an uphill stretch that is about 1 mile long and we always end up walking part of it... well this time I was watching the clock and I told Step okay... we have 10 mins to get to the turn... meaning we would have to run the whole way... and we did it!! But it took us like 10:20, but it was rough. Even Step admitted it was tough. :)

That's all for now...

Today's Eats

Breakfast:
1 cup Kashi go lean crunch honey almond
1/2 cup ff milk
1 lg banana
2 cups coffee w/dry creamer and sugar
 
Lunchtime checkin!!

I am not looking forward to going to A&P lab today... I'm just not in the mood. I would ditch, but I have homework to turn in and we are doing wet lab. And yeah just not in the mood.

Just had my little lunch and now I think I might go get some gas for my car.

Its been slow today and so I've been doing alot of searching on the net for costume ideas. We are going to a party Saturday night... mostly couples and they are all doing couple themes... wilma and fred... betty and barney... popey and olive oil... and there was another but I can't remember. I kinda want to go as Lara Croft, but I don't know what Step's thoughts on that are... it would be easy at least.

Lunch Eats:
Turkey sandwhich with mustard and mild cheddar on whole wheat
1 svg baby carrots
3/4 c green grapes
Crystal light

I'm currently sitting around 900 cals which I think is pretty good. I'm shooting for around 1650 or so to be in a good deficit range. I also plan to have a killer workout tonight, so I might eat a little more depending on what happens there.
 
Hey, I like your new plan my dear :) I understand about your time managing--see, I let all the housework go and go to workouts instead, so there are all sorts of projects I haven't finished and tidying up that should be done, but isn't. It's pretty shameful, good thing I seldom have any visitors!

Nice with the run! Too bad about the C :( Take care
