I did a lot of debating with myself today. Run or not? What to eat? Should I go to class? Should I take a nap? No,lets not run! ...No, you should run.... No, let's not....
You get the picture. I ended up running and I'm so glad I did! C25k Week 1 COMPLETE! I was feeling really bad ass as I ran on a trail that wasn't paved through the woods. There were freaking butterflies everywhere! It was really cool. It was a bit wet from the rain this morning but that made it feel even more bad ass. Actually, the badassness wore off when I realized the whole picture reminded me of twilight. I was then looking for vampires. None of which I found, luckily. 31 minutes, 1.90 miles, and a few butterflies later; I'm glad I went today! ( I actually ran through part of the cool down!)
While I know the program I'm using is working on getting me to run longer- I've made a mental goal of getting my mileage up!
I've been eating a lot lately. I don't know why for sure but it's resulted in me gaining a pound. I'm back at it though! I actually debating with myself today if I was going to "stay fat forever" I quickly decided I didn't want that. Here is to another day of working towards a better me! Tomorrow, I start lifting weights again!

Yum Yum!
Today for dinner I made curried chicken & rice soup. It was delicious!
I went to the gym for a bit but my blisters came open on my hand. :( I had to leave early.
I've been feeling a bit blah. I think it's migraines coming on. The weather is so crummy! I hope they stop soon!
Classes are crazy right now! I have a few chapters to read for 2 classes and then stats homework on top of it! I did get a 9/10 on my first quiz and 17/20 on my first homework! Woot! I like stats so far :)

What have you tried?
How many different diets have you tried? Me? I have tried 2! I started calorie counting and after falling off the wagon so many times I tried and failed. I then started paying for weight watchers online. I did that for a few months without success. I have no went back to calorie counting.
I find the most success without a lot of sugar that isn't natural and drinking LOTS of water. I drink between 80-100 oz. a day.

Tomorrow, we head off to WV again. Great Grandma passed away Wednesday. :( It will be a hard weekend but I know God is good. She is in an amazing place now and is going to celebrate Easter in Heaven! It will be amazing, I bet!

Diets, Death, and Finals
Diets, Death and Finals...they all seem to have the same thing in common in most people's minds. Sadness, hard, and no fun! I can agree they are all no fun. I'm dealing with them all right now.
Diet- Slowly, I'm trying to say I'm not on a "diet" but rather a "lifestyle" change. What does that mean? It means that I'm eating healthy and sensibly but not restricting myself. Hell, I bought 6 boxes of girl scout cookies. I got them 2 weeks ago and have only ate 4 cookies. Why? I put them up and when I really want one I have the serving size or just one. I get over it. I'm not craving these things daily anymore because I'm not eating it daily.
Death- For the past 2 weeks we have been dealing with the grim fact that my great grandma is dying. We went down to West Virginia to where she is and was in the hospital. The outlook was grim then but she was given the option to have her legs removed and keep fighting or to keep them and face the end of her life. She chose the latter of the two. We were there over this past weekend, she is now home in hospice. It's hard to deal with but I've had these last few weeks to prepare myself. I'm ready for her to go home and be with our sweet Savior. She has slipped into a coma and isn't eating or drinking anymore so now it's just a waiting game.
Finals- WAAA!!!! Finals are next week. I'm stressing. This can make or break my grade in math. I'm not too worried about the others. I'm not doing well in math now so this 33% of my grade could bring me to passing. I'm so stressed. Study, study study is my mojo right now.
Maybe, I will start blogging more often? I'm making this my homepage so maybe I will! haha
See ya!

2012 Already??
In my pathetic attempt to make a resolution I decided to start blogging again. Will it stick? I'll be honest, I have no idea. I'm going to try to blog everyday. I want to eventually start taking pictures of my meals for accountability and posting them.
Today I ate.....let's not even go there. I will start logging tomorrow. Didn't I say that yesterday?
Workout: Elliptical 30 minutes and various weight things. My arms are sore! I spent most of my time at the gym looking at boys....ooops LOL
I can't help but think how nice it would be to have an elliptical at home...*dreaming*
