Easter Sunday

So easter Sunday was hard for me. I have only been eating healthy for one week. I only strayed off program a bit.

My mom made this cinnamon bun cake that she makes every once in a while. I had a piece of that. I also had a few pieces of chocolate marshmarrow bunnies. Everything else I at was on program. I didn't do to bad.

Tomorrow I have to start working out. I need to get in shape for the mud run that I am doing and for the beach in August.

First thing is first; Training for the mud run. The race is 3 miles long with military obstacles throughout the course. I have to work on my upper body because that is one of my weaknesses. My brother doesn't think that I will be able to do any of the upper body obstacles. I want to prove him WRONG!!!

Second thing I have to work on is my endurance. I was never a good long distance runner. I hate running and everytime I attempt to run, I get hurt. So I'm pretty sure running hates me. I just have to make sure I stretch and ice everyday.

I will keep you updated on how mine doing and get my before pics out there so you can compare them to my end results in August!!

Getting Healthy!!

So Its been 6 days since I started eating healthy. I;m doing good so far but its hard!!

The one thing that I crave a lot everyday is CHOCOLATE. I don't know if the stress of getting healthy/school/work is making the craving even worse. I'm hoping in the next two weeks it will die down.

Anyway, the one problem I'm having is getting the motivation to exercise. I hate working out because it came so easy to me when I was younger.

I have to start running because I have a race in about months. I can't look like a fool. Plus I want to bet my brother in it so bad. I says that he can beat me in a mile now and he eats worse than me. Plus, he is a smoker and hasn't worked out in years(7+).

I have a lot of projects to do for school but I only have one month left!!! Thank God!!
I can't wait to be done.

Week One

Its been a week since I had soda.
I'm telling ya; I feel so much better.

Today I stopped eating chocolate.
I'm doing good so far but I believe that chocolate is my biggest weakness.

In June, I am running in the warrior dash which is has military obstacles and a big mud pit at the end.
I have about 3 months to train for it.
I wanted to beat my brother and his friends in the race.
My goal by then is to be able to run a 24 minute 3 mile.

I will keep you posted.

Pouring on the pounds!

I have 137 days until August 3. This is the last day of summer camp.I want to be in great shape by then. I weigh 120 pounds now but I would like to be 115 pounds and gain muscle and get lean.

I am first going to start walking twice a day for 45 minutes each. I am going to work on push ups, abs, and pull ups. I also want to work on my flexibility. I am going to do this for the first 37 days.

I am going to stop drinking soda which has become a big issue of mine. Also I want to work on eating healthier and getting my parents involved. I am sick of being tired and sluggish all the time.

Its time to change!!

Finally!!

So I'm finally gonna start working out on Monday because I was able to catch up on all my HW during spring break.

I have less then 5 months to get in shape.
I'm going to the beach during the 2nd week of August.
So times a ticking!!

If anyone wants to help me stay on track, just let me know!!

5 Months

So I didn't win the powerball. Someone in Rhode Island did.
OOO well...I guess I can't quit my job.

Anyway, I have about 5 months til summer vacation.
Working out the semester is going to be really hard because I have a shit load of school work to do.
Never take 6 classes, work 30-40 hours a week, and try to get in shape all at one time.
The Problem is that I need to!!

I have to find a balance of all three in the next week or so.
Wish me luck!!

What would you do if you became a Millionaire!!!!

So the Powerball is up to 325 million dollars!!
I got my ticket, did you??

Anyway, what would you do if you hit the Powerball??
Well, after I finish school (last semester), I would go traveling around the world!!
I would also be able to help out my family and pay off my school bills.

What would you do if you hit the Powerball??
Hit me up and let me know.

I'm Back

Its been awhile since I have written a blog.
Iver the summer I lost ten pounds so I'm down to 120.
But I have not toned up yet.

Thats my goal for the next 4 months.
In August, I'm going down the beach for a week so I have to be bathing suit ready.
My first day of working out will be Feb. 1, My Birthday!!
This is the year that I get my body back in shape.

Look for my next post on Feb. 1
See ya then!!!

A new year about 2 months late

So I said on Janurary 1 that i was gonna start working out everyday to lose the weight that I don't need and to tone up. I've been to the gym like three times since then.

Its time for me to get my life back on track.
Day One: Wednesday Feb. 23, 2011!!

I weight about 132 pounds right now and i'm only 5'4''
I would like to weight about 120 by June 1.
This gives me a little over 3 months to lose the weight.

Check in with me everyday to see how i'm doing and for photo updates.
Tomorrow I will post my before photo.
I also plan to start and finish P90X.
I've started it 2 times and never finish.
I probably will not start that until April 1.

See ya tomorrow!!!

Tomorrow is Doom's Day!!!

So...Tomorrow I start camp...AHHHH!!!
Kids can be a lot of work.
So it is suppose to rain tomorrow. This is terrible cause then we are at Haverford.
It always sucks when it rains on the first day cause I never know who my campers are!!
Its insane. Plus we don't have the gym at Haverford for the first two weeks so there really is nothing that u can do with the kids!!

Tomorrow also starts my insane training schedule!!!
One thing is for sure...I have got to start P90X again!!
Not looking forward to that tomorrow.
I have got to get my bike fixed so that I can bike to work!!!

I will probably be MISERABLE tomorrow!!!

June 26

So I have been training for the Mud Run for about a week now. I didn't realize how out of shape I'm in!!! I still have about three weeks til the race. I'm just hoping that I can finish and that I won't come in last place.



So a couple of months ago, my kitchen at my house had gotten mice in the cabinets. We were able to get rid of all of them except one!! Well the other day, WE GOT IT!! Here's a pic.






So on thursday, the 24, we had a hail storm where I live. The winds were so strong that it knocked down about 10 tree in my neighborhood alone. My tree in the front of my house fell down. Also, my next door neighbor lost part of there tree!! It was insane. The hail was coming down the size of golf balls!!
