You know that feeling when you put on a pair of jeggings that you haven't worn in weeks, and they're a little loose? And then you decide to brave the cute black sweater that you got for Christmas that hasn't fit good enough to wear because it's a size smaller than you usually buy? And even THAT is feeling a little loose? Because that totally happened to me the other day. (as I'm sure you already know, since I posted it on facebook. ha) I was stressing SO bad that day because I slept through my alarm so I didn't get up to go running, which I've been doing every day for the last 2 weeks. I've only missed 2 days (aside from my "break" days) and the first time I felt like crap all day for it. And then I put those clothes on and realized that maybe it was okay that I didn't run that morning. (It was REALLY only justified by the fact that I'd be going running after work to make up for it. heh.)
I LOVE being able to see and feel the difference all of this working out has made! Zumba 4 times a week. Running at least a mile every day. Top it all off with FINALLY buckling down and eating healthy. I can't even remember the last time I felt this good about things. Most of all about myself. I love the feeling of looking in the mirror and seeing the difference in my waist, arms, legs, shoulders. (and I won't lie... getting a bit of a booty! haha) I've now lost a total of 20 lbs since my mom and I started doing Zumba. Which means I'm back to the weight I was when I moved in with my Grandma. But even then I wasn't in good shape by any means. This time around I'm actually somewhat toned. Don't get me wrong... there's still quite a ways for me to go, but for the first time in a long time I actually am feeling good about myself.

Fitness...

Hmm....
It's been so long! Yikes! I don't even know where to start. Even though there hasn't been too much that's happened.
A few updates maybe?
I've lost about 3 more pounds. FINALLY putting me over the hump I've been stuck at for quite some time. I'll be starting up again with mega fitness Shando type business this week. So hopefully that means I'll have motivation to post more. Haha.
I got a new Tattoo. :)
It's my "Dad" tattoo. I have a letter that he wrote me that I want to get part of tattooed around it in his writing. Although, my mom will flip out. But it just doesn't feel finished without it. But I do love it. Even if I was made to feel guilty for getting it. I love seeing it every day. :)
I went this weekend to hang out with the girl who gave me the tattoo. Her and her boyfriend just got the cutest little puppy

Allllllllright!
Here goes!
I really do enjoy blogging a lot. But I've been SO bummed out and depressed lately I just can't get myself to do it. Simply because I don't want to be such a downer for everyone else to read. You know? :/ But I have thought of quite a few things I want to change/add to my bloggin routine to maybe make things a little more fun for me, and for you. :) So here's what I'm thinkin:
Weigh-in Wednesday-- I really enjoy this... But I'm gaining a lot of muscle so it's quite discouraging to be weighing myself every week and not seeing much of a difference at all. So I'm going to spice it up a little. I think I'll only weigh in every 2 weeks. And on the weeks of no weigh-in I'm going to start doing a THINNING-THURSDAY feature. :) To kind of track the inches that are goin down. I figure this would be a good thing to keep track of, also to help keep me motivated. Because even though the numbers on the scale are kind of at a stand-still... I can feel (and see) the difference in my body.
Also, I've been watching a lot of video blogs the last few weeks, and this morning decided I kind of wanted to try it out. I have NO idea what I'd talk about.. but I kept thinking it would be fun. And then I signed on to blogger and saw that Heidi had posted this, and figured what better way then to try it out!
Now answer these questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

update needed.
I need to update the blog.
I apologise for being so absent, dear blog readers.
I just haven't been motivated to do much of anything at all.
However, stay tuned. I've been thinking of some changes that will be made to the blog schedule this starting this week. So perhaps tomorrow there will be a real post. (I'm not making any promises though..)
until then... here's a little picture breakdown of how I get ready. (spending way too much time alone this last week left me thinking this would be a really cool idea. haha)

Woops!
I didn't get a chance to get on a computer yesterday, so no weigh-in Wednesday for me... but here I am to make up for that today!
Hope everyone had a good week, and have good plans for the weekend!

Oh my
I'm torn between posting an actual post.. and just going to bed.
I've come to many unsettling realizations in the last few days. But I'm trying to stay positive.
But that is the reason for my uncertainty on whether I should actually delve into this post here. As it would certainly end most whiny-baby... And I already feel like there is WAY too much of that on this blog.
Random photo drop... Just a few pics that bring a smile to my face...
Don't worry about it.

Just some things :)
I need to stop looking at Blogs when I'm on my phone.
Because I ALWAYS want to comment.
But then my phone flips out and won't let me
And then I forget when I get back on the computer.
