Today was my first official run ever. I was so excited and so nervous but I did well! So it was a 3.5 mile run and I was 7th in my age group (19-29) and 39 out of 482 females, and 102 out of 727 overall. Time?
31:57 (average mile of 9:08)
Yeah. I’m stoked for what’s to come :)
Looking pretty professional, if I do say so myself… ;)
Mostly because I feel like this is very boring and I am so very busy.
Basically:
I gained five pounds.
And then I lost five pounds.
Now I am on this weird fluctuating because I eat pretty darn awful this time of year.
I’m giving a speech tomorrow in class about living a healthy lifestyle and I’m scared will look at me and think, “then why don’t you do it, fat girl.”
If this was high school, they would see the difference.
But they don’t.
Boooooo.
Breakfast: two eggs, ham, and green bell pepper
Grazing (eaten between 9:30 am - 2 pm): Almonds, hard boiled egg, blueberries, the rest of the bell pepper
Dinner: Went out with parents/ grandma to sushi. I had a few cups of green tea and a sushi roll that had deep fried shrimp, spicy tuna, avo, yellowtail, and sea steak. Soooo good and it was a free meal.
Now today I have class at 9:30 am, have to go job hunting until 2 pm when I have my lecture until 2:50 pm. I shall then do homework and actually run because I’m finally feeling a lot better.
BELL PEPPERS ARE MAGICAL.
Breakfast: two eggs scrambled with green bell pepper
Snacks: hard boiled egg & almonds, kashi bar
Lunch: leftover beef patty on a bed of spinach leaves and green bell pepper
Snack: the rest of the bell pepper
Dinner: In-N-Out (number two protein style with tomato and onion). I’m getting iced tea and fries and nobody can stop me.
I eat a lot… I actually just snack a lot.
My brother has been sick for the past week and I knew I would succumb to it. Yesterday morning I woke up and there it was, sitting in the back of my throat. So I went to the grocery, picked up some bell peppers (and cookie dough & Oreos for that same brother) and came home to rest.
I had a whole red pepper throughout the day yesterday (I put it on my beef patty for dinner, scrambled in with my eggs, etc) and today I had a green bell pepper. They’re super good raw as well! I’m going to cut up another green one for my snack tomorrow (maybe even pick up another red one…)
Did you guys know that bell peppers are packed with vitamin C? More than citrus fruits like oranges. Green ones have about twice as much and I believe the red ones have as much as three times as much. Crazy, right?!
I also had a veggie&fruit smoothie at Jamba Juice (I believe it was the orange carrot karma?) with immunity & antioxidant boosts.
I think I’m going to skip workout tonight for two reasons:
1.) I have work to catch up on and
2.) Well, I am sick…

Hey there! Well, my journey is basically one of wanting to be physically fit. I’ve gone from wanting to be skinny to looking lean and mean.

This is just a short bio I wrote in the beginning if you’d like a more complete story.
What I don’t really mention is the primal diet which I practiced in the past and am trying to get back into now. That helped tons and helped me realize what’s good and what’s bad.
Thanks for the message!
I want to start working on my upper body (arms, abs, back, the works).
Does anyone have any good thoughts on what I should do?
Right now I plank, push-ups, sit-ups, and dumbbell row (as well as various other strengths I just don’t know the names of)
Suggestions?
Just having fun with my webcam… When I should be doing homework or showering.

I can’t wait to see further progress!
I guess I’ve just been lazy with posting.
Anyway:
It just kind of stinks because despite the fact that my scale said I was at 132 lbs (although I’m guessing this changed because of my lack of exercise/ awful food choices in the past few days), I feel pretty weak and I still feel large.
Yes, I know I am not. Yes, I know I have lost a lot of weight. No, I should not be this caught up on it.
But I can’t help but just be sort of sad because I’m not reaching my goals fast enough. And I’m mad because I keep making the wrong choices.
Sometimes it just feels like the world is working against me because it wants me to be unhappy with the way I look.
I’m also in a public speaking class and we had to choose a topic that we’re interested in or passionate about. I chose living a healthy lifestyle. Not only do I want to learn more, I want to share what I’ve learned. But I still feel ashamed because I’m not as strong and I’m not as fit.
However, it is a brand new day and there is time to make today good. So my goals for the day are:
-Eat very clean and moderate
-Some form of physical activity including strength training
-Do not eat the food while babysitting tonight
-Keep calm
My starting weight was wrong.
I started getting serious serious around 167 lbs though.
I lost 8 lbs just by diet and light exercise.
But then I realized I had to get serious.
Just to clear up.
Don’t think I’m a liar.
