Weight Watcher Humor
This was on the last page of this months weight watcher magazine and I thought it was hilarious! and SO TRUTHFUL.
You know you’re on your game when…
-Whatever temperature, you religiously wear the same outfit (and no shoes!) at every weigh in.
- Your brunch order goes something like this “is the omelet cooked in oil? Can I have whole wheat toast with no butter? May I replace...
Favorite things of 2010!
Well being the follower I am, I also am going to do a favorite things of 2010!
#10- I tried sushi for the first time! (not the raw fish yet- just cucumber/avocado roll)
#9- It has officially been a year and 6 months of being completely sober.
August 2009-This is a picture of me from the last time I ever drank and smoked. I look back at this with complete disgust of myself. I have...
right back atcha
I had a 9 miler scheduled today but at first I was hesitant if I should go for a long run after last nights junk. Well what convinced me to shut up and do it was the sun and the amazing 35 degree weather. At first I was way overdressed and got to the top of the hill by my house and ran back home to change!! Soooo NICE OUT.
Well I was able to wear my new light jacket my brother bought me! And I...
Phew-
Well that was freaky.
So last night at dinner all of a sudden I stood up to go to the bathroom and had a ridiculous amount of pressure in my right leg. You know what it feels like when you get stung by a bee? That tightness in your skin where its like pushing out? So I get back from the bathroom and I look at my friend Colline and I’m like “Does this leg look bigger than this...
Out with the old, in with the new!
Reflecting back on the past couple years and realizing my 5lb weight gain from when I got home from school isn’t as bad as being 65lbs heavier…However, it is motivation to get back to my ultimate goal…
December 2008- 200ish pounds (Before joining weight watchers, also the weekend I told my parents I was depressed and needed to transfer/change my life.)
Then to January 2010-...
epic beyond epicness
alright so naturally today I ventured out to the mall to return my gifts that didn’t fit right.
So the goods/ epic shoppingness I did.

Then off to Victoria’s Secret…not much of a sale here…....

bahahah i am starting to change my mind on...
so about 2 months ago I was running our field house, and this other girl (who i noticed as she was leaving was on the cross country team) was running the track. I had lapped her a couple times and my pace was faster than hers (I’m just saying this to give you guys background). Anyways she stopped to stretch then joined right next to me on one of the laps. She ran with me for about 3 or 4...

Yaaay we got our Christmas Tree!!
Today my mom, dad and I went to go get our Christmas tree!! I clearly helped a ton…
Came home and crashed HARD. I didn’t realize it but I’ve been running on fumes all week, I sat down in our big comfy chair after lunch and fell asleep (I NEVER nap). Finally woke myself up and decided I needed to do something! So I went to the gym but I knew I shouldn’t run today since I...

I WANT TO RUN THE BOSTON MARATHON SO FREAKIN BAD
Brand Spankin' New
Today was pretty great over all.
About a week and a half ago I was creepin on the nike site and in the sale section there were size 11 lunarglides! MY FAVORITE RUNNING SHOES. So naturally I bought them, I mean they were on sale for 60 dollars. Plus when I bought my first pair I got them with a warrantee on them and I’m totally sending them back now that I have other shoes to wear. So...
Wouldn't it be nice...
Don’t you think that after battling the elements (aka running in either snow, rain, wind, ridiculous heat) you should have burned more calories or 6 miles should count for 8 or something? I totally think it should…
If you haven’t guess already I popped out a 5.5 mile run in a snow storm this morning, it wasn’t too cold but the roads definitely weren’t in the best...
Fridizzzzzzzzzzz
Okay so not fitness related but this is happening in my life right now.
Let’s hope for the best tumblrsssss
Oh the people you will meet...
Typically while I’m up at school I like to run on the indoor field house track. The roads are almost never in good condition and it snows like crazy there. I used to love the treadmil and now I absolutely hate it. I LOVE being able to go somewhere with a run, even if it’s just around and around in a circle. I go running at pretty much the same time on certain days of the week because...
audreyam asked: I just wanted to tell you that you are so great and inspirational! I found you through my friend liz, who is a runner. She told me your blog was awesome and I was hooked! Now i'm doing weight watchers and having some crazy success already (not even a week in!). So thank you for doing what you do, I appreciate you and your journey:)
Just a random thought-
My all time favorite sandwich is light rye bread toasted with garlic hummus and turkey…mmmmmmm :) VERY delicious lunch I must say.
Alright, I'm back.
Alright, so I’m back. And thank you all who said kind things on the last post. I know that wasn’t that long of a break but when you have no school work and nothing else to do up in the middle of no where it felt like an eternity. I did a lot of thinking and I’m obviously going to keep this tumblr but I also decided that I need another place to put my thoughts. This blog is more...
I didn't think this would happen.
Tonight I did something that I didn’t think I’d ever do. I’m not writing it all down here, it’s for me to understand and cope with and the fact that I realized what I did was wrong just shows that I am stronger than that. I wrote a huge long post and I’m keeping it saved on my laptop but now is not the time or if ever. This being said I am going off Tumblr and...

Plus at the gym I was feeling very muscular today, so I took at GPOYF (Gunshow picture of yourself Friday?)
Big things people, big things.
Eeeeek!!
So I always see this same adult man at the field house when I run. Last week he asked me if I’d join the canoe team bc they look for endurance athletes and I told him I’d love to but itd conflict with soccer in the spring. Just now he walked by me as I’m tying my shoes and said ‘I don’t think you’re a soccer player you’re clearly a runner!! Its addicting...

Now for another note- my best friends brother played basketball for SU and now plays for the Knicks, anyways heres the pic he sent me of where his seats are tonight at the garden.
MOTHER FREAKING JEALOUS OVER HEREEE
I need some opinions puh-leasee
Okay- so here’s the thing, there is a 5k run about 3 hours from where I live on Dec 19th, I REALLLY want to run it just because I want to do a race before my half marathon in Feb (I already plan on doing one in my hometown early feb just for fun). This 5k isn’t for any great achievement or anything it’s just because I want to run one really bad I’m CRAVVVING it. Plus I...

Fa-REEEZZZZZZING
So it’s a snowstorm out. AND its about 20 degrees… Last week of classes…I totally want break right MEOW.
Classes until 315 then attempting to run at the field house…last time I went at this time there was a high school track team there…boooo. Cross your fingers that it’s empty!
Lunch noms:
Arnold thin (3pt), 2.5oz deli turkey (1pt), hummus and spinach!...
-oh werd
I run because it’s my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I’m going where I’m going and I’m already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise… it’s a consistent reward for victory!

annnnd she's baaaaaaaaack
Today’s run I did a couple things different. When I got to the track I started my nike pace thing but I only looked at it twice the whole time. I didn’t want to get hung up on my pace/miles. I felt good and ran a solid 4.5 without looking at it once! Then I looked to recalculate how far I wanted to run, and I ran until 6.31 :).
Plus I got to “battle the elements” ;) 32...

Fail whale.
Soooo yesterday I was really bummed out about my run, the 6miles were brutal and awfully slow for me.
Today I was wicked pumped to run, I brought my stuff with my to class quickly changed and headed over to the field house and POW there was the high school indoor track team practicing….FAIL WHALE. Sooo I went up to the fitness center and I was all “hey I’ll just have to stick...
