I love my family. I do.
But there are times where I PRAY that I don’t end up like them when I “grow up”. I always hear how women are destined to be like their mothers. My mother is an incredible woman.
Except for the complaining. Oh dear God I hope I don’t complain as much as my family does. They get worked up over everything. Everything is always a fight. If it’s not over the two dishes...

Boys trying to be impressive.
Hilarious. It seems they don’t count on most girls to be actual marathon runners.
This one guy said one of his hobbies was “running marathons”, and since he messaged me first I asked him how many he’s run. His response?That he doesn’t recall. That he just did tough mudder though and has participated in a 20 mile breast cancer run. .
Which, I’ll respect...

So I decided to try another online dating site.
It seems a lot bigger. It’s called Plenty Of Fish. I call it plentyoff-ish. I joined last night, and over the last 24 hours I received 17 19 messages. Crazy.
What sucks is deciphering between the copy/pasted messages and the genuine ones. My method for sorting them is if they mention something specific from my profile, then it’s sincere. Otherwise if it’s “hey...

Gotta say, I'm pretty excited for this weekend.
Sure, I probably won’t be spending it with friends. Or family.
Well, I’ll have Saturday with my capoeira friends, at least some of it, we’re going to the park to do a demonstration.
Other than that, my family’s going camping but I have tons of homework to do so I’ll be staying at home by myself.
Which is AWESOME! On Friday I’m going to the rent a bike from...

I thought cycling was hard..
Holy shit. Swimming. I spent half an hour in the pool. I did 6, almost 7 minutes of swimming. I got dizzy, did 10x25 yds. Felt sick.
How do people do this every day? I can run a marathon, I can bike 11 miles outside, but I can’t swim for 30 seconds across the pool without wanting to die.

WIW: "Boooooo Scale!" Edition
Week #36
SW: 168 lbs
Last weigh in: 146.2 lbs
CW: 146.8 lbs
+0.6 lbs
Total Weight lost: 21.2 lbs
Yes, I weigh less than I have been weighing the last few days, but I really was hoping I’d see a positive (as in negative) change in the scale, especially since I worked so hard yesterday. Oh well, guess that just means I’ve gotta work harder. Today I’m going to attempt...

Something I don't understand.
I’ve vaguely mentioned it before.
False advertising.
Particularly, online dating sites.
Even more particularly, pictures of boys on online dating sites.
The one big one that I keep seeing- guys that have shaved heads/are bald, having profile pictures of them with hair that was probably from 3 years ago. Whether or not a guy has hair on his head makes all the difference. Some guys pull...

My capoeira instructor is magic.
Ironically, his name’s Mago, which means magician.
Every time I go to class, it’s like he KNOWS what I worked on at the gym so he decides to go extra crazy on that area.
Today? Arms.
Oh my god it was just ridiculous. On the bright side, these two Air Force cadets started following me for guidance on how to do all the moves. It was cool.
My feet hurt.
I barely got to do...

I hate this.
My mom brought me Wendy’s.
She KNOWS I am trying to lose weight, and I kinda gave her this look, saying “Why’d you do this?” I just grabbed the bag, said thank you and left the bag in the kitchen.
And she comes down yelling, saying, “Better that I brought you something than my having gone to eat and not brought you anything.”
Actually, that would have been...

Weird scary dream story time!
This was too ridiculous not to share.
So this dream freaked me out.
In it, for some reason my ex Inti came to my house, we ended up getting back together, and we were in the basement of the house when he decided he wanted to go out and smoke some weed (which is weird cause I never smoked with him, neither of us had even tried the stuff til after we broke up), so we go out and have to be all...

I'm a little tired.
I haven’t fallen asleep since I woke up this morning at like 6:30. I didn’t work out before class, but I made it successfully through my class without even nodding off. I’m proud of myself. And I hit the gym after class!
For a warmup, I did the CrossFit WOD “Tabata This”, which is Tabata intervals of:
Pushups (did 57)
Situps (101)
Squats (100)
Burpees (30)

This week's goals:
Go swimming at LEAST twice.
See 144 on the scale.
Bike 30 miles in one sitting, OUTSIDE*
Run 10 miles. Either spread out or all at once.
Get all my homework done with at least an hour before it’s due.
CAN SHE DO IT? (God, I sure hope so)
*providing I either fix what’s wrong with my bike or borrow one from school

Why is it that I said I liked school?
Can’t currently recall. Just busted out a 5ish page paper for English in 3 hours. It’s 3am now, I’m only up this late usually when I am scrolling through Tumblr. This is why I hate procrastinating. Who knows if I’ll be able to get up at 5/6ish for the gym now?

That was nice.
His plan, though.
He wants to go to this place, Mr. Bigg’s Family Fun Center (it’s like a small Dave and Buster’s). They have a bar there, so he wants to get fucked up and ride the go-carts. What he doesn’t realize, is that they’re not gonna let his drunk ass ride go-carts with little kids. It’s so dumb. I’m currently trying to talk him...

Yeah.. I need to start meeting people IRL.
So I disabled my OkCupid.
I’ve realized I’m not going to make friends through there, and I’m not going to date the love of my life there most likely. So..I am forcing myself to do this and start talking to people at school or something.

I think he thinks that I'm too serious without...
He didn’t say it, but I’m pretty sure. The convo at the restaurant ended up kinda weird, we were talking about the Holocaust (I had mentioned that there were things you just don’t joke about, and that came up). It was awkward. Then it was a lighter conversation in the car, but I doubt I’ll hear from him again. But it’s cool. That sushi was AMAZING. There were ones...

Got another date
with OkCupid boy that I went out with on Thursday. We’re going to get sushi! I’ve only had sushi twice before, and it’s been kinda weird, but I wanted to work on trying new stuff. So yeah. Excited (and hungry)!

Okokokok...
I know I’m supposed to be doing homework, and i am, but I just remembered.
Since I just opened myself up to the world of cycling..
I want to start swimming too. Even though I don’t really know how to swim. So yeah. Think I’m gonna start this week.
OKAY I’M LEAVING. I already finished one of my assignments, cut me some slack.

The feat:
5 page paper and statistics assignment. In 3-ish hours.
CAN SHE DO IT?
If you see me liking or commenting on your posts, please yell at me.
kthx.
You're independent.
dailypeptalk:
Pep Talk: Think of all the things you do on your own with nobody holding your hand. You’re really self-sufficient. You only need a little direction and you’re ready to act. It’s quite impressive, my dear. Today remind yourself: I’m independent.

That bike ride was almost as mentally challenging...
7 miles to capoeira. Hard, but I only had to get off my bike twice and only for a few steps.
11 miles back home. I tried to avoid the super steep hill from the 7 mile route, and was rewarded with about ten hills instead. I walked so much of it. Those of you that live on flatland, be happy. Because that was just awful.
My butt’s sore. My arms. Legs. Back. Abs. They’re all sore. I...
So apparently it's 7 miles to get to capoeira.
And the hills are ridiculous. There’s a really steep one I have to go down, which means if I go back that way it’s a super steep hill that I have to go up, so I decided to go around and avoid the hill by going towards garden of the gods. Yeah, instead of steep hill, it’s super long gradually increasing hill. I’m not even on mile 2 and I’m dying. I think I may have...
About to go on my first outside bike ride longer...
Ever. Nervous. Gonna try to bike
To capoeira.

So I have this thing..
That at the beginning of the week, I’m super dedicated to working out, but by Wednesday/Thursday, it all ends. This has occurred regularly for.. a while. And I see everyone working out all the time and I’m like, WHY CAN’T I BE LIKE THEM?? It doesn’t help that I’m in school so I have to workout around my homework schedule. I really need to work on this.
Ugh. I need...

Something I fail at.
Creativity.
I’m supposed to write a 30 second radio or tv ad promoting a health related behavior, using the social marketing approach. And I’m supposed to think out of the box, but I dunno. (He provided examples of the VERB program, to give us a basis)
I’m thinking of doing one about running, but so far no idea how I would even start.
Ideas??

Dane Cook is right.
The DMV would be much more tolerable if I would get punched in the face before I walk in. Lost my license id a couple of weeks ago so since I got some money from school today am here to get a new one. So lame.
Also, the army guys here today are adorable. They’re usually not, but today they’re all so cute.
On the bright side, hiking with Andy was awesome today, went to garden of...

I'm awful!
So I’m going hiking this morning with Andy, and we’re going to go to a place with little mountain springs that you can swim in, and I’m soo nervous about what I look like in a bathing suit. Last night I went out on a date to my favorite pub and I had two beers (a 20 oz and 16 oz of Stella), and that was enough to leave me dehydrated this morning. Which means, I weigh less and you...
