#29 Goals for the next 30 days

Happy Tuesday!  It was extremely hard to get out of bed this morning. I must have hit snooze 5 times.

Yesterday after work I was sooo excited to get home so I could run because the day was gorgeous.  I met up with my running partner J and had such a great 4 mile run with avg. pace of 9:30/9:45.  Last time I did this I hurt my foot because I hadn't recovered from the marathon yet!  I felt amazing and feel great this morning! No pain, no weird feeling, nothing.. I am getting my speed back yay!  Tonight we'll be going to spin class which is awesome and I can't wait, and tomorrow we'll try another awesome 5 mile run.  Running makes me sooo happy, I felt like this: (Just wish I was @ the beach in SD).

This was my dinner and was pretty yummy! Took only 15 minutes to cook woohoo.

OMG Look at these cupcakes I found ahhhh I want them so bad, too bad their in NorCal blah Check out all of their other super cute stuff. http://www.facebook.com/#!/UhOhCupcakes



#29

I may not touch on all of the topics on here and if I do, it may be short because I may not have be interested in that.

My goals for the next 30 days:
(I was a little hesitant to post this- once again I'm showing a weakness/insecurity, but that's what it's all about right? )
Keeping it real.April 15^th I’ll be going to New Orleans with friends to celebrate my bf’s and a few others bday.  For the next 30 days I will not only be doing my regular cardio, running & spinning, I will try my hardest to work on my strength every day.  Whether it’s a core, upper body, legs, whatever, even for 15 minutes- I need to get stronger and toned.  I’m what they call the “skinny fat girl”… I know I’m not completely overweight, but in order to feel better about myself and get stronger, I need to hit those weights! I still have flab and plenty of it sitting on top of my muscles.

The one thing I hate the most is feeling insecure and for some reason when I go on vacation or mini vacation, I never have anything to wear because nothing fits and nothing looks good.  I don’t want to wear shorts because my thighs aren’t how I’d like them to be, I don’t want to wear sleeveless shirts because my arms are flabby, I don’t want to wear this and that because of the muffin top, beer gut, back fat, etc… Yes, I’m ripping myself apart, but I do it with lots of love. J  So the next 30 days I will be strength training because Muscles are sexy and I want those toned arms and legs. (I want to run a marathon looking like her hehe).

 I probably won’t ever have a 6 pack and I’m ok with that (I say this now ha!), but I want to be comfortable in my own skin.  I want to walk around NOLA knowing that I own in and not worry about a little flab.  I know I won’t have the body I want in 30 days, but I’ll definitely feel so much better about myself.  More weights and less sugar/junk. 

1.      Work out every day (Rest 1 Sundays)

2.      No sweets- with the exception of a bday party next weekend and I will not go overboard.  Of course I’ll have a raw macaroon, or a piece of dark chocolate ever day.  It’s a must!

3.      No alcohol- with the exception of 3/19 and 4/1… Only 2 days (can’t be beer either). 

4.      No impulsive shopping, I have lots of bdays and trips I must save for! (Anyone good with money that can send me some pointers how to control your spending?)

5.      Blog more

I wrote down my measurements and will do a recap on April 14^th.  I didn’t have to share this, but now I’m accountable and it seems like that’s the only way I work ha!



P.S. I've been reading a lot of new blogs lately! Lots of local ones too! yay for Houston :)  It seems like some of the other really popular blogs have lost my interest.  I like fun "real" blogs with people who write about themselves and their problems I relate to, not how perfect their life always is and have oatmeal pics every single day.  Some also lack personality- boring, no thank you!  Also, I like interaction!  I feel as if those blogs choose who they reply to in their comments, tweets, emails (I understand they're busy- we all are). So I am always extremely gratful when YOU reply to anything I shoot you with.  You rock and that's why I read your blogs.  Hope you have a wonderful day!
