Hello Blogland,
It indeed has been awhile. I know, I’m sorry, sometimes life gets in the way of writing. I stated this when I first started this. There have been many things going on, I don’t even know where to begin. All I know is that when I was on the phone with my Gma the other day, she scoffed at me for not writing on here for a while.
Well, as far as fitness goes, I am making great strides in my running abilities…. yes, it’s true, I can actually run for almost two minutes without feeling like I may very well die. I also am experiencing a huge problem with my hip…. stretching helps only a little. And shin splits, oh the shin splits. I have had them since high school, and boy they are annoying. I actually am planning on running the 1.7 miles to the gym from the Swain’s house where I am at right now, do an upperbody workout, then run back.
Now, when I say run, I guess I should say intervals. I am not able to even jog the entire way there, but I am pushing myself further every time I go.
Hmmm… what else is going on? Oh yeah, my eating style has drastically changed. I am eating soooooo much better. I am able to avoid the fries, the extra cheese, then fatty coffee creamer….. everything! My primary foods are now fat free greek yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, tons of veggies, fresh organic fruit (killer fruit salads), brown rice, and massive amounts of chicken. I plan on getting some steak soon, I’m in need of red meat.
Ya wanna know what? I’m enjoying what I am eating. I really am. I feel infinitely better without the junk that I was putting in my body. Granted, I still use Nutella on my waffles with yogurt, and I still eat spoonfuls of peanut butter. But chocolate nut butter is ten times better than downing a bag of M&M’s. Sorry, Yellow, I’ll be seeing you in less than two weeks though. We will be reunited, however, til then, I have some short shorts I need to fit into for Vegas. Viva!
Yes, Vegas is in less than two weeks. Yikes! My first time going to Vegas! Where have I been?! I am busting arse to get the final few pounds off of me. Let’s Vegas, it’s going to be 90+ there, so short shorts and tank tops are a necessity. And there are still a few pounds of fat that need to be lost before shimmying into those short shorts (spelling of Shimmy? Help?)
While in Vegas, top priorities are M&M world, shopping, seeing the lions and tigers, drinking, and perhaps a little gambling. We are also staying with my Aunt Jenn for a couple of days after the debauchery that we will be partaking in on the strip. I am meeting my baby cousin, Veronica, for the first time. Jenn is also hooking us up with tickets to “Peep Show” with Holly Madison, and we are also seeing Flight of the Conchords. Holler!!!!!!!
So, basically, I am working like crazy to get money for this Vegas trip. Vegas has killer shopping, I mean, KILLER shopping, plus a Trader Joe’s. Plus drinking is expensive, and don’t even get me started on food costs. Oh, did I forget to mention there is a Volcom outlet store there?! That is like, my mecca!
I’m getting stoked on the half marathon. I need to buy an IPOD though to start running with. They are going to have to start getting longer than 3 miles.
This weekend is going to be super busy. I’m working like crazy and have to manage to squeeze in a combo CD realease party/best friend’s birthday party. All while my other best friend and her girlfriend are staying with us overnight. Yep, I get to see my Barnsey again. I love her so much!
I am so stoked and pround of ya’ll PMR!!!!!!!!!!! Great job on the new cd, and I can’t wait for Saturday night at the Woodshed! Grandma’s Shotgun Stance is the name of the album (at least, 98% sure it’s called Grandma’s Shotgun something. Stance makes sense.) I am attending the party with these fine women.
And this guy!
Oh, hey, Rob is about to be diving into his late 20′s next week. Yep, Rob will be the big 2-7. No, I’m not getting him anything, not til Vegas at least. There’s a Billabong store there with his name ALL OVER IT!
Oh hey, before I go to Vegas, I will be posting up some more after pictures. I am already skinnier than I was on my birthday, and I’m stoked.
Well, I’m out like trout! Later, dudes!
