I havn't RUN in... let's just say years?

In Elementary school..there are vivid memories of me running. I'm not positive how long it's been, but it's probably not good. The other day in my room, a feeling came over me, I had to be active! Turns out running in place for about 7 minutes is all my body was having that day.

It felt so great! I wanted to get back to that the next night, but to my dismay, the next day my legs were too sore.

Just going up & even down stairs.. I feel it. It's been a few days now since & is still hurting very much. Hopefully tomorrow the sore muscle feeling will be gone & I can get back into the running. :] Step by step, for now, no matter how much it hurts.

This sounds like a lot of complaining but I'm glad to have discovered I like running. It's really something I've been scared of for such a long time. One less thing I'm scared of!

Why I love Wednesdays!

Btw This isn't me in this video :]
Here is a link to the vlog group "Project Lifesize"

Oh! Tomorrow is Weigh in day. I have been keeping to my tracking & been  as active as my sore muscles would allow. I'll keep my fingers crossed!


 Hope everyone had a great Wednesday:]

Multigrain Turkey Sandwich { Avacado & Mushroom}

This was too good!

Instead of mayo!
I used Avocado... "good fats" :]
For the Avocado {guacamole I just added some lemon juice, garlic powder, and some salt} very quick & easy! the salt isn't even necessary..
Bread: I found these Multi-grain Ciabatta rolls at Walmart's Bakery. What a surprise, our Walmart is now also a grocery store!

Toasting the bread too it to the next level of amazing!

{ this was all yesterday! I though I had pressed the "post publish".. I guess I hadn't!}

   The other day when we were surprised by how great our Walmart is now... I wanted to look for some snack bars. My classes are all 3 hours long :] after about the 2nd hour I notice my stomach asking for some attendance. I usually do bring a bag of cereal ,that will work also, but I wanted to se if I could find anything to quickly run & go.

Here's what I'm trying this week!

I ended up using this yesterday! This quickly filled me up & helped  me through the last hour of class.

I was also  wondering... if anybody using blogger is having an issue with colors of photos when they are uploaded.  The color after going through Picasa is dulled out  (my last picture of the" kid Z bar" is unedited & much darker than the original. Just wondering if anybody else was experiencing this problem?

Is there another way to upload photos... because I noticed that even if I do upload them from my computer they are still being uploaded into Picasa & have the same outcome overall dull dark photos.

Thanks!

Good afternoon!

Weekend-wrap-up!

DANNON "CUPS OF HOPE"

I entered my code.. & have other to be entered as I go!

The Party {Friday}..

was actually really great. My roommates were pretty much the only people I actually knew. I did see some familiar faces & started making conversation with new people. Before the party we went to Chili's for dinner & decided to get  some drinks for before & after the party. I ended up buying watermelon Smirnoff - I've tried the Strawberry & the grapefruit before. The watermelon & strawberry will continue to be my favorites.

It was a great night overall :] There are some funny moments I'll keep to myself though.

& Last but not least

 My heart is out to everybody who knew & lost somebody in 9/11

-I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend!

- Goodnight

T.G.I.F! :]

Special K's Chocolaty Delight

This afternoon- I don't have much food left so I made due with what I had.

mmm I had the serving amount on the box :] 

I have a feeling I'll be busy later tonight :] So I wanted to get this up before Im too exhausted.

Me and my roommates have some plans for Dinner & a party later on! I've honestly not been to many parties... this will probably be my 1st at somebody else's house. I probably wont know anyone there... and it may be awkward at times. I'll try my best to keep from being awkward & just have a good time.

This being my 4th year of college, I suppose it's about time I go out and see what's happening.

Today was one of those lazy days. At some point I decided I'd try Wii Fit, but people started coming home from their last classes & I got sidetracked. Then plaid some mario galaxy 2. The rest is undefined! {for now}

Hope everyone has a great Friday/night!

14th Week Weigh In! 1lb + This Week!

I gained a pound this week!
I'am currently: 280.6
Total Loss: -39.4
We are actually having some issues with our internet & I'm using an alternative. Everything should be back around 11 tomorrow. Just wanted to get this in tonight!

This may be the 1st time I added on a pound (since I started 14 weeks ago) I am not  feeling down about it. I'm thinking it's because I was expecting this after going out so much & having the leftovers days afterwards. I also  recall not going to the gym AS MUCH. :] I would be a little more upset *with myself* if I sincerely had no clue why I had gained!

 Better get some sleep :]

Goodnight!

I eat weird things? & Dinner {photos}

DINNER TIME!

Potato & Veggies

The potatoes: Light sour cream,
, Italian Herbs, garlic powder

On the Veggies (mushrooms & Brocoli) I have some garlic powder, salt & pepper... ( i love garlic)

Everything :] mmm this was a great dinner! very satisfying.
Oh & my Arizona green tea :]

& NOW!

"I found you!"

They do!

I was in the pita section the other day & found a nice new alternative to pita bread. I found Pita Chips! the brand I ended up getting was kangaroo Pita Chips, I also so they had MULTI GRAIN :] mmm. that was ultimately why I tried them. Before my purchase I looked at Nutrition Facts & Portions.. looks good to me! This ended up being 3 points for about 11 chips. By accident I grabbed the Sea Salt instead of the multi grain this week! 

Another new favorite :]

Anyways I ended up putting Pita Chips Turkey (deli slices) and babaganoush in a "bite-sized experiment" a.k.a -lunch. This lunch was small & quick because I had some school things going on! THIS WAS GREAT. It's too bad that was the last of my turkey for now. ( the whole idea was to eat the turkey before it went bad & make a lunch FAST) 

+ maybe next time I have these I'll try and take a picture that doesn't look gross! I promise it's not :}

This is kind of like when I put pretzels & ice-cream together.. it just works! Then when your friends see you it get's kinda weird :]

Last thing!

I went to the gym today! 20 minutes on the arc trainer :] It was nice to let out some steam after classes.

 Hope everyone else had a great Wednesday aswell! 
**ALSO! what's the strangest thing you eat & enjoy!?

Goodnight!

Harder than I'd thought...

I was never great at multi tasking, so juggling school, homework,classes  while also trying to focus on WW, & my eating habits are proving to be a little difficult. I guess that's just life! Right? I'm working on getting better at managing my time.

For this blog
I've been trying to post something every weekday & usually on weekends I take a little break.. but I think I've chosen to post on weekends too (most of the time). This has been proven to work :] I really enjoy keeping everything up here. reminding me where I'm going & what my goal is. I also really love commenting back & forth with everyone. Getting to know people I normally wouldn't have the chance of knowing.

The stress of school/ senior year
I've mentioned this a few times before... yesterday I really took some time in trying to decide what I want to do this year. The answer I came up with was " I don't know..". This lead to some bad choices.. like maybe I had almost a half a jar of peanut butter?  I told one of my closer friends about  this & she really helped me out. She laughed & said " why peanut butter?" I'm not sure why this helped but I think it was the fact that she made light of what I was telling her. This made me realize there was still time to make it right :] We went to the gym today!

I'd like to manage what I'm doing here both in school & out.

I know I can.. i just need to focus on the goals.

-Goodnight
