My friend and I went running again today after class.
We both a running schedule and It's Tuesdays and Thursdays.
NO EXCUSES. Doesn't matter if we have an exam the next day.
We ran 3.60 miles. in addition, we climbed and ran up two steep hills.
man it was a work out.
It's nice to have a running buddy because we can push each other.
Motivate each other. When one is still running, you don't want to stop,
not matter how much your heart is pounding and your legs burn.
It was a great workout. The scenery is just absolutely gorgeous.
I love it there.
Most definitely a stress reliever.
Crossing the bridge to walk up hills! lol
made it up 2 hills.
Jess treated us with Jamba Juice. mmm
After my clinical orientation on Tuesday
which ended around 3:15, my friend Jessica and I went running.
It was a spontaneous thing but I was up for it!
So we headed over to Lake Chabot,
and ran about 3 miles. we walked the first mile to warm up,
then ran the rest.
It was a challenge because there was all these steep hills and down hills.
It wasn't just one leveled pavement.
I loved it..
She was pushing me to not give up,
even though my legs were burning!
But i knew it was all worth it in the end.
MIND OVER MATTER.
Now i'm sore, but I love this feeling.
I feel accomplished.
The scenery was beautiful.
in the summer of 2010 is when I started my whole fitness journey.
I lost about 13lbs from doing 2 months of insanity,
and maintained my weight to about 118-120.
I was more cautious about what I ate that year
in 2011 I maintained my weight
to about 125-130, in the summer.
it fluctuated after the summer time because I wasn't
exercising as much as I wanted too.
Towards December, I started pigging out,
I ended my stressful semester and went on winter break.
Which meant I came back home for the break.
There were so many things to eat, 2 holidays so many food.
I just didn't give a damn.. and BAM.. I have to pay for it now.
I'm back where I began..
I notice that when I gain weight my feet begin to hurt
because I can feel the heaviness of my body.
Lately i noticed my feet hurting.. and checked on the scale and it was not a pretty sight.
I was like about 132. ugh..
I came so far.. yet I gained it all back because of my poor decisions
and lack of exercise.
Food is very tempting..
so is napping and sleeping instead of getting up and getting active.
This year, 2012 and so forth, I will try my best to increase my exercise activity
as much as I possibly can, that means, trying to get an exercise in before of after class.
I will try to NOT make any excuses..
and I will eat clean and healthy.
That will be my goal.
Starting weight: 132
GOAL WEIGHT (GW) IN FEB 2012: 125
GW APRIL 2012: 120
GW JULY 2012: 115
Let's make this happen. 5lbs every 2 months.
I need to be motivated!!
This needs to be a lifestyle change,
and a lifelong change.
I initially wanted to start my workout at 11pm today.
However I got a little bit tired and was deciding on holding it off until tomorrow.
But it thought twice, because that would mean I would have to do 2 workouts tomorrow.
So I waited it out a bit, and took like a 20 minute nap..
Then.. as much as i didn't want to work out so late, and still felt really sleepy,
I pushed myself and worked out. Today was the end of WEEK 1 of Insanity round 2.
After the warm up, I was feeling wide awake, and I was ready to take on this workout.
My upper body strength is horrible. Push ups are a dread, but as much as i hate them,
they are great at sculpting my upper body. Which is what I want. I want my back
and arms to be more defined. and I also want to lose the upper back fat.
Anyways, I almost made an excuse to not work out today..
and my excuse was "it's getting late.. I don't want to wake anyone up."
But I fooled myself because everyone in my family was up except for my dad..
So, instead of not exercising, i got my butt up and forced myself to do the best that I can.
And now i feel great that i did it!!
Just think about it.. another step closer to my goal weight and body!!
I also purchased INSANITY THE ASYLUM today!
I got the deluxe package, and it was 134 for me. I think. somewhere around that price
Regular price was like 179 for the deluxe.

My game plan is that after 2 months of insanity..
i'll be done around end of may,
I'm going to start the Insane Asylum after that for another 30 days.
OR, i might do it in combination with the 2nd month of Insanity.
We'll see!! But i'm gonna get my BODY in time for my 21st birthday! lol!!
I will be taking before and after pictures, monitoring my weight and measurements.
I hope the insane asylum gives out free shirts like insanity did after the program!
