Not My Best

Today was certainly not the best...

First off, I didn't wake up until 1:45pm, which totally threw me off my entire day.

I don't even know why I woke up so late, I went to sleep at midnight. I can't stand myself sometimes!

I got new running shoes yesterday!

They are super comfortable! I bought them at Lady's Foot Locker. The woman that helped me pick them out was very helpful. She knew her shoes! ha ha. She even sold me on these insoles that go in the shoe. Makes them ten times more comfy than they already are. The shoes were on sale for $89.99. Way more than what I normally spend on sneakers. I usually hunt around at Kohls, Sears and sometimes Famous Footwear. I figured that since I would be spending half my days in them, they should last a while.

Sadly, I did not get to the gym today. I am a tad upset with myself, but yesterday's workout wore me the hell out. I did shoulders and back at Gold's Gym and then met my friend Kenny at Lehigh Parkway and we walked for 2 hours straight, hills and all.

So I just made sure that I still drank my 8 cups of water and kept eating at a minimum. I walked around for two hours today, so hopefully it isn't too bad...

I went to Express today and got SUPER cute workout clothing! I'll have to post photos of them then! I am so excited to wear them. Then I made my way to Wal-Mart for a few odds and ends. I also picked up some HEALTHY foods which I am going to share in a post soon.

Then I had the intentions of going to the gym, but it was PACKED, and I hate going to the gym when it's crazy. I also planned to get a pedicure so I went and did that! (Atleast my legs got a massage to run harder tomorrow, right?)

While I was waiting in line at Wal-Mart I was behind an older man wearing a National Guard jacket. Let me tell you, ever since I have had this "idea," I see signs everywhere. He told me not to worry about bootcamp. ha ha, yeah about that....

More posts soon....

Not a Bad Friday

Happy Friday (well it's almost over...) So I guess happy weekend everyone!

I had a pretty boring breakfast this morning...

I also took my two chewy multi-vitamins. I need to purchase some CLA vitamins...

I guess my breakfast was sufficient.

I watched and episode of Army wives during breakfast. I am so addicted to that show! Sadly enough I am on season 4 on Netflix, and I believe season 5 is on TV now, and I don't have cable..booo

I truly believe that pre-workout supplements do me wonders! I prefer to take Jack'd prior to working out, but I still have a container of Super pump to finish. It gives me a jolt of energy to push through my workouts and it doesn't give me jitters.

Completed 15 sit-ups in 2 minutes. Omgoodness I have a ways to go!

18 knee push-ups in 2 minutes.

I did not do any running, my shins are quite sore! I stuck to the elliptical today and did shoulders and back. Was feeling great! I did get a tad light headed at the end of my workout but I think it was because it was awhile since I last ate. Again, water intake=8 cups :)

Took an hour nap today after the gym. It felt nice.

I found an AMAZING inspiration! Check out her facebook page:

She lost a HUGE amount of weight all on her own! No trainers!

Well that's all for today, I have nothing to rant about!

Oh Thursday...

Wind, wind and um more WIND! All night and all morning until FINALLY we got hit with a down pour and some thunderstorms! I was even informed of a tornado warning. Geez.

Once everything calmed down I was ready to head to the gym! I did my first sit-ups set today. I completed 25 in 2 minutes, with my feet under the couch. Not bad for my first attempt. Eventually I shall have to do them without my feet being held down!

Made it to the gym, did a 10min warm-up on the treadmill, 30min weight training (biceps and triceps), and then I did 3 miles on the elliptical. (410cal, 33:00min) Yay!

I spent about a half hour chatting with my mom in the parking lot. I had missed her call, so called her back. Just talking about birthday plans for my Dad! Umm pizza, beer and a birthday cake! lol

Made my way to Wal-Mart again to get some more workout clothing!

Yup, the only colors you'll ever see me in, except for the occasional purple and maybe sometime in the future greenish,tannish brown ;)

After Wal-Mart I went grocery shopping at Bottom Dollar Foods and Giant. I spent $70.00 for two weeks worth of breakfasts, lunches and dinners for two. I am getting better at this!

Surpassed my 8 cups of water AGAIN. That may get annoying, me announcing that all the time, but it is a HUGE accomplishment. lol

I am now making dinner and waiting for the fiance to call from work <3

Byes!!

Odds and Ends

I went to Wal-mart today after my dreadful sprints, hills and stairs workout. haha I needed to get a paper shredder to clean out my bill folders, it's just all piling up! Here's what I got:

Just a few workout items. Got all three things under $20.00! Love sales!

Today will be the third day that I have consumed 8 cups of water! I am so proud of myself no matter how small of a matter that is! My shins are beginning to get sore so I might just head to the gym tomorrow and do some biking or hop on the eliptical. I don't want to hurt myself.

I decided that I am not going to weigh myself until June 30th. I am hoping to be down 15-20lbs. We shall see.

Maybe I'll write later if anything exciting happens.

BYES!

Morning Chat

Woke up at 9:30am, now that is more like it! No sunshine, just a nice cool breeze blowing through my window. I'm in love <3

Not quite sure what is on the agenda today besides making the grocery list and getting my training in! A new thing I've done with my water intake is as soon as I wake up I have to drink two cups before I can have breakfast. Now I LOVE breakfast! So those two cups go down pretty fast!

What did I have for breakfast today?

1 cup of milk, 1 scrambled egg, 1 piece of whole wheat toast with 1tbsp of low-fat peanut butter

YUUUMMMMMMMMMMYYYY!

Not quite sure what I am doing for training today? I was thinking a jog and working on some sprints. Then of course push ups and sit ups, ughh.

Have a great day!!!

Runners High?

Good afternoon! I am just in the mood to rant and rave about my day. I woke up SUPER early, like 7:30am and who the hell knows why? I always wake up after 10am. I began to clean and fold laundry and Toby made me a super breakfast! Love him!

I fought with my internet most of the day today, it did not want to work. Apparantly there is an outage near my area in PA, and we should expect difficulties. I've had nothing BUT difficulties with Verizon DSL internet!

Eventually I made my lazy ass go to the Lehigh Parkway to do some training! I ran steps 10x, OUCH that hurt and then I walk/jogged for about 1.5 miles and then walked another 1.5miles. Not bad! What I really noticed today was while I was jogging, the only thing on my mind was making it to my next "rest stop" and the music playing on my Ipod. No worries about money, weight, relationships, NOTHING! I loved it! Now I just need to get in shape so I can enjoy running even more.

I know my main reason for training, but for now I will enjoy the empty mind effect!

I then stopped at CVS and purchased a few things! Mainly I went because I wanted to dye my hair. If you would like to see what I got, I already blogged about it on my beauty blog http://www.purrceptivevixxen.blogspot.com Then I made my way to Subway for a 6in turkey sub, yummmmmy!

I shall succeed with my water intake today! 8 cups! WOO HOO! I always struggle to get there!

After I got home and enjoyed my lunch, I dyed my hair, just dark brown!

Well have a great rest of your day!
