Capoeira is hard. Like, doable, obviously, but it’s difficult especially at first because you have to get used to a bunch of things going on at once- music playing, singing, you never stop moving, doing the movements- it’s a lot.
But it’s really rewarding and really fun. Once you get over the fact that you’re going to end up looking dumb in front of your friends,...

January Goals!
1. Read something- other than tumblr..
2. Go to yoga more.
3. Drink water, dammit!
4. Follow marathon training as closely as humanly possible.
5. Use the elliptical more often, try for 1x a week minimum?
6. Maintain the no fast food rule (it’s been 3 months, but I still put it because I feel like I’ll break it if I don’t)
7. Do HIIT training minimum once a week.
8. Stay on...

Also,
my workout: not long at all- 12 minutes. Took me like an hour, because I kept getting distracted having to do stuff for the family, but all in all it made me break a sweat- and I could do more, but I should probably shower and get dressed and have family time and stuff.
500 mountain climbers (3:56)
100 high knees (0:51)
100 jumping jacks (2:02)
53 situps (2:00)
50 burpees (3:00)
I get the worst looks from my family every time I...
Yes, I eat. A lot. And you know what? It’s because I CAN, and I SHOULD eat. Just because they eat 500 calories a day doesn’t mean I will. I like my body functioning well, thank you.

I'm so unbelievably excited for 2011.
This is gonna be my year. I’m going to be skinny, even more badass, and I’m gonna “do life” like I never have before.
I’m gonna run, have fun, and most importantly- be happy.

December Goals Revisited...
So as far as December goals go, didn’t do as well as I’d hoped. I think I set the bar just a wee bit too high..
-See the lower end of the 140s, MAYBE a glimpse of the 130s?? Ish? I got to see 145..
-Stay on schedule with marathon training I only missed like 2 days, shortened one, and did an extra 12 mile run. So I think it works out :)
-Run 10 miles! Got to 12!
-Attend at least 4...

I just wanted to say that Im super super SUPER excited that someone else is doing the body rockers work outs hehe.
I am starting a work out schedule for January based on all of the body rockers workouts :D
I know we have never talked before- and this is random. Just got excited to see someone else doing the workouts. hehe

Holy crapola.
So I just finished this workout.
I saw the title, “Suicidal Sweat Workout”, and HAD to try it. I’m drenched in sweat right now. Attractive, right?
Only cool thing about working out at home- no shirt required! Haha.
This was the workout. It’s a high intensity interval workout, and you’re supposed to time each “combo”:

So far..
The workouts I’ve done have been a capoeira conditioning video that i found on youtube (it was from like the 80s, but it made me break a sweat and I felt good doing it, it was about 40 minutes long, and I almost did a side split!!!! I’m the queen of inflexible, so for me to even come close was super exciting.
I also did this quick video by Bob Harper, the workout was only like 3...
Too late.
My car’s already completely covered in snow and it’s been snowing for half an hour. If I had a better car I’d tough it out, but I have an old, not very reliable Buick with a less than safe brake system. I’m gonna have to resort to like, the tv fitness channel or something.
Any suggestions for at home cardio with no cardio machines?
We have an xbox kinect and a Wii..

I GUESS I should go to the gym now before it...
I do not like snow.
You know.
Even though there’s a LOT of shitty things about my life, I’m depressed, there’s a lot of things I don’t like about myself and my surroundings, soooo much drama, it gets boring, but even with all that- it’s not a bad life.
I might even say I’m content with my life. I’m working on the changes I want to make, making progress, I’m starting to somewhat...
Oh man.
I’m feeling this morning’s workout already. Tomorrow’s going to be fun..
I can barely move my arms up, and my abs are not letting me get off my bed. Lol.

Wah.
So I was all excited for tonight, I was supposed to go to Cowboys, the “cool” place that everyone goes to club at, and now at the last minute my friend that invited me isn’t feeling well. Supposedly. So now, getting ready for nothing tonight.. I guess at least I am saving 10 bucks and still have a party to go to tomorrow night..if that’s still even on..

You're too busy to wonder.
dailypeptalk:
Pep Talk: Sometimes it’s better not to care what the person you’re currently obsessed is doing. They’re probably not doing anything that interesting, but you could be. Go occupy yourself. It’s time for you to care about your every move, not theirs.
Today remind yourself: I’m too busy to wonder.
OMG yes. I really DO need to remind myself of this.

I decided to run naked today.
Haha. And by naked, I mean without any music. Partially because I lost one of the cool earbud attachments for my headphones, and partially for my safety because it was getting dark, but mostly to see if I can do it, since the only time I’ve ever done it was in cross country in high school and my first turkey trot in November.
I ran a 5k. It wasn’t bad, my music has stopped affecting...

Dear exercise, I missed you.
Yes, it was only 3 days. But considering I hadn’t taken that long off exercise since around October 19th, It was a big deal. I was so excited to get back to doing it, I woke up at SEVEN this morning to go.
Might I add, my family’s pretty annoying about this. They complain every day how I sleep in til like 11, and I get up before 10 and I get the third degree about why I’m awake....

SW: 168 lbs
Last week’s weigh in: 146.4 lbs
CW: 146.8 lbs
+0.4 lbs
Total weight lost: 21.2 lbs
=/
This was expected. Though actually I’m really surprised it wasn’t more, since I hadn’t worked out in 3 days. It’s not holiday weight because I lost weight the day after Christmas, but not bad. Hopefully I’ll be off this plateau by next week..
On the bright...
I'm contemplating doing the 30DS.
I’ve had the dvd since it came out, but I never did it more than 3 days in a row. So I don’t know. Gonna think about it a bit more before I make a final decision. I mean, it’s only 20 minutes a day, so it doesn’t take long.
Opinions?

TMI Tuesday?
So I just spent the last 5,10 minutes looking at myself shirtless. And you know what? I’m actually completely happy with what I see. Yeah, I think I still need to lose weight, but I think I look pretty damn hot.
That is all :P

Tumblr Tuesday!
Yay!
So I feel bad, because I haven’t done one of these in awhile, but here we go..
This week I’m recommending the awesome Alex, aka smarthealth, aka smartbro :)
He’s a pretty smart guy, beyond incredibly patient, especially for annoying people like me that ask him something like every day. He’s helped me through this whole weight loss journey of mine, been super...

I have like, nothing to do, I’m being paid to babysit my niece, that doesn’t need babysitting, so I’ve spent about all day watching tv. I see now how I got fat. This is pretty much all I would do, and I’d eat out of boredom, which is what I think I’ve succumbed to today, I’ve eaten a lot of crap (particularly dark chocolate hershey’s kisses, I had like,...

Why hello, 146
Didn’t expect to see that number the day after Christmas. Especially after my cake debacle on Christmas Eve. Guess that ten mile run yesterday helped. :)
Though, now I’m all nervous because I’m going to take a 3 day break from exercise, to help me get off this plateau. I haven’t had a 3 day break since, I don’t even know. Since I’ve started exercising...
Finally watched "Love Actually"
I looooooooved it. So much. Definitely added to my favorite movies now. Such a great movie.

10 Mile Christmas Run? Done!
1 hour, 39 minutes. I’m really pleased with myself :)
[edit]: also, I made the mistake of running without gloves, a hat, or even underarmour. I’m like, cold to my core now. Am just starting to get the feeling back in my hands and face. It was sunny when I started, but then the sun started going down..

Merry Christmas, everyone! :)
My family woke me up at SIX AM. I swear I had sunglasses on half the time we were opening presents because I wasn’t awake yet. Haven’t been to my other sister’s house yet, but this is what I got so far:
2 pairs of SIZE 7/8 jeans from Aeropostale, 2 Aeropostale shirts (I’m wearing one of them), awesome pair of Christmas socks, some hair ties, a purse, and an 80s looking...
