So.
Yes I’ve been AWOL. I’ve been working and clubbing and not working out and eating all kinds of shit.
But that’s gonna have to change. I tried to run today and only made it four miles. Four. Miles.
Hell no.
And I’ve gained a few lbs, no doubt.
I refuse to go off to college out of shape and uncomfortable with my body.
I’m training hardcore again, along with eating right. I will be happy with my effort.

So my parents want to take off for Galveston TONIGHT. Just for the weekend. Shit shit shit. We go there for food basically and I HAVE to watch what I eat this weekend. And I’m supposed to be resting. My damn race is MONDAY. Of all weekends, I swear. Plus, swimsuit time. Ew.
How am I supposed to keep eating healthy and carb loading when we’re traveling. Ef. Em. El.

Still been MIA and I’m sorry! Today was my last day of high school and it was a rough one. It’s been an odd few weeks but I’ve been pretty good with my diet even though I haven’t been counting calories. Tomorrow I start carbo loading given that my race is 4 days away. Can’t wait!!!

I love educating myself on health and fitness. It makes me feel great. I smile at the thought of where clean eating and regular exercise is taking me. I am constantly wanting to learn more. No matter how many negative comments I get, I won't quit. I will keep going. This is my choice. I am making this my lifestyle now. I will prove everyone who has ever told me I can't do it, wrong. Watch me.

My half is a week from tomorrow. It’s time to hit it hard. I’ve been off track here and there and I’m ready to get back on it. Hydration, eating right, then carbo loading starting Thursday. Here goes the last week of high school.

This busy week is killing me. After my soccer game last night, my joints are still beat down from my run last weekend. And today I went to chipotle with my friends after our AP Eco test and though I ate healthy, I ate too much. Then I came home and had a bowl of frosted flakes as a snack. And I decided to not work out since i had homework and since tomorrow our senior field trip is at a ranch. Definitely gonna be on my feet all day biking or zip lining or swimming so not much of a rest day. Ugh I just need to be out of school and getting ready for my half marathon. I need a good long break so I stop feeling so burnt out.

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:06:47 -0400

Today’s workout. 2 miles and a bit of core/abs.
In all reality, I should’ve taken Sunday off. My body needed it after the 13.1 run. And I’m starting to pay for it. I’m still craving carbs more than normal and when I ran today, my legs totally felt it. When I lifted weights Sunday and Monday it was just my energy level, but today between the soreness of my leg workout yesterday and this weekend’s run, my body is just worn.
And I’ve also been so busy it’s so hard to squeeze in my workout. Like tomorrow, I’m not even sure when I’m going to workout unless I wake up early. But I do have a late indoor soccer game so if worse comes to worse, that can just count. I’ll try my best to get up early though.
Friday is our senior field trip to some ranch. With a pool. As in swimsuits. And I’m so self conscious. I’m just gonna eat a light breakfast so I don’t look too bloated when I swim. Sigh.
I hate that I’m at this plateau and I can’t do anything about it. I can’t risk changing things up too much before my race. Plus side is, end of next week is when I start my carbo loading, so I guess that’ll be interesting.
My legs are starting to look kinda good though I’ve noticed!

I noticed in all this business it is easier to reject greasy foods. In fact, they don’t sound pleasing at all. However, I still get a sweet tooth. Cakes, cookies, and ice cream I still struggle with. Oh. And sugary cereal. Like Life. And Frosted Flakes. ):

And I also think I’ve stopped slimming down. I haven’t had a chance to weigh myself, but I think my body has gotten used to this lifestyle and it needs a change up. A little over two weeks to my half marathon then hopefully I can go to camp for two weeks (though I won’t be eating NEARLY as healthy, and moderate working out) then come back and build up an entire new plan. Maybe with some more intensive cardio and weight lifting, since I’ll have more time. Thinking of hiring a trainer as well with all the money I’ll be making this summer. I’m still not comfortable in my skin. /:

Just had a brownie fudge sundae from Braum’s. And I really don’t even regret it. Back to strict eating tomorrow!
