About Me

 photo 7bbe22b3-69b9-4268-a3a9-eade7b73982b_zpsf043c37d.jpg Hello there ladies (and gents!) :) My name is Jessica! I'm an 18 year old college student. I adopted a vegan diet at the start of 2013 and have no intentions of going back. Another thing you should know is I am a competitive runner. I'm on my school's crosscountry team. Running is my biggest passion in life along with nutrition. I want to live a healthy lifestlye that includes fitness, food, and self love. <3 Photobucket

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

It&#8217;s been a week since I&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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!

4 mile run to start off my morning, and I actually dipped my pace under 8 minutes&#8230;.okay it was 7:59 per mile, but still!!! :) I can&#8217;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

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&#8217;s when I ran :)
Anyways just over 3 miles for today! I&#8217;ve got to build back up slow so that I don&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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
