Eating watermelon and talking funny ^_^ check out da rolls when I’m sitting down BECAUSE IT’S NOTMAL

Oh ya know, just hanging out after my run. I used to do this all the time and smash reminded me that I miss it

First time running in asics trainers in almost 5 years!


It’s been a week since I’ve been home and this is the difference (may 10th-17th). Not too many changes but I can tell my stomach has lost some of the bloating around it and this picture doesn’t show very well but my legs feel slightly more toned :) I only lost 1.4 pounds (141.8 to 140.4) but I feel better now than I did a week ago with the small changes I’ve made! Oh and I think the light is tricking you, I am definitely not that much tanner!
Well here goes to week 2 of my summer training!

Yay plans?? Hanging out with one of my bestfriends tonight :)

okay I just love this picture
I love looking at my baby pictures :)

4 mile run to start off my morning, and I actually dipped my pace under 8 minutes….okay it was 7:59 per mile, but still!!! :) I can’t wait to see how much fitness I gain over the next 12 weeks (and for my abs to pop out more?) ;D

Going with my soon to be sister in law to look for a job! Gotta make money somehow during the next 12 weeks

Freezing heeps of nanners

Cardio for the day is done! :) I went a little earlier in the day and felt A LOT better. Runs in 100 degrees are not fun! It was probably in the 80’s when I ran :)
Anyways just over 3 miles for today! I’ve got to build back up slow so that I don’t get injured or burn out! As much as I want to push my mileage and the pace, I need to be smart about my training so that I’ll be healthy for XC in the fall.
Came back from my run and immediately jumped in the pool and did like 5 minutes of aqua jogging and a couple laps to cool down my legs a bit. Now I’m just sitting in my lazy boy chair and enjoying my backyard :)

So I was planning on running for 45 minutes but 15 minutes into my run I got a call from my dentist asking if I was on my way (oops!) so I literally sprinted home, jumped in the pool, threw on some clothes and drove down there. I didn’t want to finish my run in the 100 degree heat, so I did a little over 20 minutes of aqua jogging to fill up the rest of my time for the day :) aqua jogging is a great alternative to running and doesn’t put stress on your legs, I would recommend it to anyone who can’t fit in a run because of the heat and still wants to get an equally challenging workout! :) Also going to do toneitup’s sunkissed abs video later as part of my bikini series challenge ^_^ 6 weeks left in the challenge!
Check out what a 3 year difference makes. Thank goodness for that brown dye fading out of my hair, better posture, putting a little makeup on, and wearing nicer clothes.
I was such an awkward child in my early high school days
Pictures from Mother’s Day brunch with my daddy and my grandparents :) had a nice time even though my mom is in Arizona with her mommy until late tonight!
