Kim Kardashian kicked my butt...and other ramblings


I've been attempting to start a diet/excercise plan for the last couple of months to no avail. I started one about a month and a half ago and was doing really good, i.e jogging, pilates, eating right, etc..., but once the last couple of weeks of school came around any time I had left that didn't involve projects or papers or studying or working I took full advantage of by indulging. Woopsie! So now that the semester is over I decided to get back on the wagon starting this week and so far, so good. I've cut back on portions and been eating lots of fruit (yes I know it's only Wednesday but let me bask in the glory of being a good girl!). Since it was rainy and gross yesterday I decided to take advantage of the free workouts on Demand offered with my Comcast Digital Cable package. The one I chose was a cardio/ab workout "by" Kim Kardashian, and she totally kicked my butt. I was sweating and aching after the first few minutes, today I am so sore I can barely move. Thanks Kim, for totally making muscles I didn't even know I had hurt like hell. See you in my living room again tonight, try to be nicer to me.

This week has been dragging. I've been super tired from lack of sleep and work has been the same thing everyday. The only thing remotely exciting today will be going to IPFW's graduation to watch Joe's uncle graduate, and we all know how long graduations drag on. Oh well. Tomorrow will be a welcomed busy and exciting day though. For one, it is Joe and I's 6 month anniversary! It doesn't seem like it's been that long (is that even a long time?) but I've never been happier with someone. I also have orientation at Ball  State tomorrow morning as well as a meeting with my advisor in the afternoon. Once that's all done my mom and I are going to my future apartment complex to finalize some logistics such as my move in date. Then tomorrow night boyfriend and I will have a little date night to celebrate our anniversary.

A little motivation


Late last week I stumbled upon this gem of a website In It To Gym It. In my ever continuing quest to lead a healthier life, as well as shed some pounds, In It To Gym It has already given me much more hope and motivation than I could have ever thought I'd find. It's nice ot know that somewhere out there in the blogosphere/interwebs there are people who struggle with not eating that last cupcake, or lack the motivation to do the 25 minutes of pilates they know they should do, or who just feel plain disgusting with the way they look and feel at the moment. I love checking out all of the trials and tribulations made by the 80 + contributors that let me know that I'm not alone in my thoughts and goals. It's a really awesome website you should really check out if you're looking for some fitness motivation and/or support.

Sickness, health, and more bad weather


I currently feel like I have been slammed into by a semi truck, had the semi truck reverse, and roll back over my several times. My throat is super swollen to the point it is uncomfortable to be awake let alone swallow, my body aches everywhere, and I have the worst cramps, oh and I burnt my hand yesterday on a crock pot and it's really red and swollen and gross. Yet, I'm at work. BUT after I go to my 10am biology test I am going home to (hopefully) sleep the rest of the day away so I can feel better. I don't really have a reason for sharing all of this other than to whine to more people than my boyfriend, mom, and coworkers.

Anywho, I'm starting a diet of sorts this week. Really it's not so much of a diet as the beginnings of a much healthier lifestyle. I'm (attempting) to cut out sugar and fried foods from my diet. Not all sugars, but unnatural sugars found in all of my favorite things like cupcakes, and frosting, and cookies, and Reese's Cups, and store bought lemonade, and pop. Fried foods shouldn't really be a problem seeing as I don't eat much of them anyway unless it's the occassional french fry or Bdubs trip. BUT did you know that tortilla chips are usually fried?! Maybe this is common knowledge but I really didn't think they were or if I did I just blocked it out of my mind as I chowed down on baskets full at Mexican restraunts. While this idea may be a bit of a challenge I think it will be good for me in the long run. I'm sure I'll cheat a time or to, as I have a really hard time passing up a good cupcake, but as long as it's not a daily thing it will be fine. Later this week or next week I'm going to start going to the gym at school to work out 3-4 times a week and once it gets warmer I hope to have the motivation to start running at the park down the road from my apartment. I don't know if I actually will or not seeing as running is one of my all time least favorite activities. ( I ran the mile in high school in 11 min 32 seconds. Not because I can't run, but because I hate it so much I look for excuses to slow down or stop.) So, we'll see how that dream goes. But, as far as the change in diet and other exercise plans I'm really looking forward to getting myself to a heathier me.

Oh, also, I was really not stoked on seeing this today when I went to check the local weather. Seriously?! A possible 5-9 inches of snow?! Thanks winter, I really don't like you right now. Go away!
