Long Time, No Post

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I haven't posted in forever. I don't know how many of you are still reading this or will even read this since it has been about 3 months since I last said anything. But I would like to fill you in on what is happening.

I have moved back into school and taken my midterms, so far everything is going well. I have been more social this year. I actually get out of my dorm room haha. I joined several clubs and I am enjoying every single one.

I know the last time I posted I was talking about my struggle to exercise and be healthy. I am dong okay, but not as well as I had did last year. This goes along with being more social; since I get out of my room more often I am not eating the most healthy foods on campus. It can be hard to find healthy food when you don't eat in the same dining hall every day like last year, and you feel more pressure to eat things that aren't the best for you. Although, I am working out more than I did over the summer, which is a plus. I am maintaining my weight and I think I may have lost a pound or two. I wish it was more, but I know I have to make a change in my eating habits if I want to see those changes/results.

Thank you for reading.

I Need To Get Back On Track

So this past year at school I was terrified of gaining the Freshman fifteen, so I tried really hard to stay away from fattening foods and working out almost everyday. In the end I lost fifteen pounds and I was feeling great about myself. I came home and was determined to keep the weight off and even lose a few more pounds. The thing is I work in an ice cream shop and ended up gaining five of those pounds back. I have about two weeks till I go back to school and I want to lose at least one pound. I need to get back on track with all my running and eating healthy. I want to have that perfect stomach so bad and I was so close at the end of the year. Well now I need to lose these excess pounds...I only wanted to lose five more pounds at the end of the year but now at the end of this summer I need to lose ten pounds.

I need to find more ways to keep myself motivated. One way is by putting a dollar in a jar for every mile I run, or if I work out really hard then I will add a dollar. I am thinking about making things to put on my dorm walls, such as girls with really flat stomach (but that might be taken as really creepy). I need more ideas!!!!

Well I am off to think of more ideas and I would like to thank you for reading my blog :)

Came and Conquered

So I ran the whole 5K!!!! It wasn't a terrible time either; I probably could have ran it a little bit faster. I had a blast while doing it too. My friends and I decided to dress up as superheroes...I was Captain America. We also ran with music from the movies :). The only problem I am having now is staying motivated and finding reasons while I should work out. Luckily I have one of my best friends who helps motivate me. In fact, we just got done working out and I feel FANTASTIC!

I have to go back to school soon and I haven't been able to do as many adventures as I had hoped, but I did get to go to Chicago for Fourth of July and I am planning on going back in the next couple of weeks. I did go to the showing of The Dark Knight Rises that showed all three of the Batman movies. I was soooooo pumped, but it was devastating what happened in Colorado. I send my prayers out to the victims and their families. After the movies I went and bought myself some awesome new superhero posters for my dorm, which will be amazingly decorated with those posters and my awesome Beatles posters I got from my wonderful roommate and her dad....they know me so well.

I am excited to go back to school, I am not so pumped about going back to classes and doing homework. I am going to make sure I get good grades and have fun.

5K Just Around The Corner

So I have been super busy yet again which is not out of the ordinary for me, so when I actually have free time I would like to spend it with my friends or relax because you know it is summer. I have two week till I have to run a 5k, and in Indiana we have been having a heat wave (much like the rest of the US) so I haven't been running because the options are either get up super early (which I am not too fond of losing sleep) or waiting till it cools down at night. I would do the second option if it wasn't still 90 or more degrees outside and I get off work at 10 o' clock at night. But the temperature has finally dropped and I am getting back into the groove of things. I tried to run my usual two miles and lets just say I can tell I haven't been running in a little over a week, and I haven't exactly been feeding my body correctly.

Oh yeah the whole eating healthy thing has kind of fallen into the back seat seeing as I went to Chicago and this week is fair week in my town and that means FUNNEL CAKES AND ELEPHANT EARS!!!! I try to stay healthy until I head over to the fair grounds and grab myself a bite to eat.

Well wish me luck with my training for the 5k and getting back on the wagon for eating healthy, so I can make myself have a better lifestyle.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I feel like I'm constantly running around doing things. I have two jobs...I work at an ice cream shop and then I babysit on Mondays and Wednesdays. I sometimes work at the ice cream store as soon as I get off from my babysitting job. This kind of makes it difficult to workout everyday, but somehow I can usually find time for it. It is really hot this time of the year and right now it is reaching record heat, so running usually needs to happen really early or late at night because it is just so hot during the day. This past weekend I was put in charge of the ice cream store and I had to babysit two families' dogs...you can say I was super duper busy. I haven't had time to go out and do new adventures, but I am hoping that I can soon.

I am really craving to go to an amusement park...I just love the thrill of riding roller coasters. This is really weird since I have a fear of heights. Even though I am usually terrified anytime I do something involving heights I force myself to do it because I know I will regret it if I don't end up doing it.

Thanks for reading my blog about living a normal life with a few adventures thrown in the mix...hopefully those will happen soon.

Getting To Know Me

Hello I have created this blog because I want to be able to write down my thoughts and share them with other people. I will basically be posting about day to day things I do and share my feelings on things I experience. I am planning on doing a lot this summer/year because is my last year until I become a twenty year old and I will kiss my teen years good bye. I really want to inspire people and share my experiences. So far I have started to live healthy and the goal is to get a six pack and with every mile I run I put a dollar in a jar and I plan on using the money to go to New York. I am so excited to go on a trip with just me and my friends. I don't have much else to say so see ya later until I write again :)
