Hey guys!
I am trying to find the best pair of running shoes, I have decided on Nike Free Run +2 but I HATE all the colors! I tried to customize but they don't have yellow/gold as an option, I was gonna make some sweet black and yellow ones, Pittsburgh style. Ah my search continues. Maybe I'll try finish line. Or Dick's shhhh don't tell my boss.
But I have created a new goal for myself; Stop biting my nails. It is my worst nervous habit. Every time there is a stressful situation or even when I'm just bored, I bite my nails. When I'm running late, my whole hand is in my mouth. It's gross and disgusting but it's something I've done my whole life. And as of today I am 1 day without biting my nails. I painted them, so to not mess up the nail polish, I can't bite my nails. Of course I want to bite them but I'm giving this a real shot, because I want to have nice looking nails and not stubs. I don't know many people who still bite their nails, but I hope if you know what I'm talking about and maybe you can give it a try too.
But I have been on track with my weight loss since I got my stitches out. There are days when I just don't want to work out. I feel like I have been out of the running/moving game for too long and when I was doing it, it was for a purpose, playing volleyball. Now it's to feel better about myself but some days I feel perfectly fine about myself so I feel I don't need to workout, but that is a lame excuse. I just think I'm not the right person to motivate myself to get on the treadmill. I need a trainer. Yelling at me and telling me what to do. Like on TV. It just gets difficult to do it when all I want to do is sleep. And I am still very busy these days. It gets crazy sometimes but I just need to get through it. I'm an "adult" now so I guess these are the things I need to deal with. Is there a go back to my childhood days button?

Hello!
What a great run I just had! I'm all sweaty, it's great!
Just wanted to share with you that my friend Annie, has written a healthy living blog on our local Patch.com and wanted to share the link with you! She talks about certain diets and cookbooks that you should or should not use! It's a great article! So proud of her!

I also have been looking at certain recipes that I want to try. I want to kinda eat the same things that I love but with a more healthy spin on them. Like chicken or mac and cheese, I just have to make it myself instead of someone else that's all. I also have noticed that I have been binge eating a little more than I'd like to, at night. So I'm trying really hard to cut that out because I binge eat a lot after dinner. Hopefully there is a healthy way to figure that out than to stave myself and then eat everything in sight. I also need to get the blender out so I can make some fruit smoothies for the morning before I walk out the door or while I'm at work. I need to start putting these things into my everyday living that way it's not a chore when I have to remember to do it.
But I'm hoping the rest of your workouts and diets are going well, I know it's hard! But just think of the slamming body you want to have and by summer you will have it! If you just keep up with it, that's all! Right mind=sexy body.

Sorry about that
Hey guys,
Sorry I have not posted in a really long time, I had some minor surgery and had 10 stitches in my leg which limited my exercise for 13 days. But got them out and now I'm back on track. I did stray away from my healthy living for a couple of "cheat days" but now I am back. Tonight for dinner, shrimp salad with some peas.
Also I have been thinking about going vegetarian for lent. Of course I will eat fish, but I know I will have to make the full commitment to do it strong, because I know my parents won't be right there with me. They love their steak. So I will just have to make my meals before the week and just keep with it. But not 100% on that yet, I'll get back to you.
But I also want to get back into yoga on a weekly basis. They have classes at the rec center but sometimes I can't go during those times, so I'll have to look into that as well. But now I have a crazy schedule, I have started babysitting 2 days a week which gives me less time off and with my regular job and my once a week night job, I would just rather lay in bed than run on the treadmill. And I know you know what I'm talking about but some nights or mornings, I just need to get my ass out of bed and do at least 20 mins on the treadmill. I just have to do it.
I have also been gently easing myself into cooking. As some of you know, cooking is not my forte. I'm not a big fan. As Brianna's mom, Pam, would say "(Food) tastes so much better when someone else makes it for you" And she is absolutely right. But I have the app, Pinterest, on my iPhone and there are recipes and workout tips on there all the time, so if you don't have it yet, get it. You will probably be on the waiting list for a couple days, but it's worth the wait. Such good ideas and tips. I also cannot wait until it is warm again, which is when I want to start biking on the trail. I used to ride my bike everywhere when I was a kid, and I just miss the wind in my hair. Also its great exercise.
Just need to get back on track. Still playing volleyball though! And I'm trying to get on another team whenever this is done, so if anyone wants to do it with me, you let me know! I want to end it with a quote I saw today on, Pinterest. Eat not for the body you have but for the body you want.
