Where oh where have I been?

These last two weeks have been a bit crazy for me. Last week was Spring Break and this week was my 21st birthday (woohoo!). So my diet hasn't been the greatest and my workouts haven't been quite as stellar, but anything is better than nothing. Spring break was wonderful, I had tiem to get errands done, do some shopping, and go to Vegas with friends. Such a great week. Obviously road tripping isn't the healthly of things but sometimes you have to splurge. As for this week- well my lack of sleep got the better of me. I made up my mind that I was going to get an iPad2 and that meant camping out for it- not once, but twice. I know have a bit more compassion for the homeless of Los Angeles- those sidewalks are uncomfortable! But I have my baby and he's so fun. I'm still looking for apps if anyone has suggestions. BUt that wiped out a workout and kind of killed my diet. Then add in a night of drinking and possibly middle of the night food(?), and calories went out the window. Hungover does not make for a good run either. On the birght side I did invest in a yoga mat this weekend and I've already done a full 50 minute workout. My body has just been too sore and stiff to not add in the streching benefits of yoga. Thank goodness for Netflix steaming- I can do it without leaving my house!

Week in Review

The week before Spring Break always looks so calm the Sunday before but when you get into it it gets crazy.

Being in bed sick all last weekend killed me, I got just about nothing done,but I was determined to get back on track during the week.

Monday I got my run in. But I also was starving at work and caved and had a cupcake. I don't care what people say fashion will make you fat. And then I rushed home to get ready to go to the Kings game. Where I had McDonalds and a margarita. So much for fried food and never drinking again.

Tuesday was solid, good workout and even though I can't quite remember what I had to eat I assume it was good.

Wednesday was a so-so. I skipped the run portion of my workout due to time constraints- midterms, research studies, internship applications, reading assignments and work will kill you- but still a good strength workout. And I ate well- avacado pasta after work.

Thursday I skipped my workout, I was just too drained. But I ate well so that's a plus.

Friday's run turned into mostly a walk because my ankle was bothering me, but at least it was something. As for food, well, there was Del Taco for dinner- but no cheese- that's something right? And my girl scout cookies arrived along with a dozen Reese's Eggs. You can guess what I've been eating all weekend.

So not the greatest week for me. But I did hit 145lbs!!! Yay me! And there's always today to improve.

Sometimes A Girl Needs to Be Taken Care Of

I am currently in bed with a stomach bug and a fever. And here I thought it was a hangover.

The good news is I had a solid week of workouts and am one pound away from my goal weight. Still a long way to go with the running goal, but I'm getting there. And my shin splints seem to be improving. KT Tape may be created by the gods.

But back to today. I may have partied a little too hard last night. But it was in celebration of- well nothing actually. It's just been a long few weeks and I needed to go out. And I went all out. When I woke up this morning my purse was MIA. My purse with my house keys, debit card, and license. So after freaking out, tearing my friends house apart, waking up some unsuspecting randoms, and crying on the phone to my mom- I found it. After paying almost $8 for new house keys I went back to my friends house. I reasoned that there is no way I made it home with my phone but not my purse. And sure enough it was there- under the piano- in a box.

So I had to uncancel a canceled card. Good thing my bank is closed on Saturdays. And I had to do damage control. It stands to reason that if your phone is going to randomly call someone at 1:30a.m. it's going to be someone it shouldn't. And when you send the apology text you get a really confused response. Because apparently your phone makes random calls that don't go through. Good times.

And then my hangover kicked in. And it wouldn't go away. So I called my mom again to ask if calling out of work on the grounds of a hangover was allowed. And as I'm telling her what was wrong it occured to me that I was very warm. And sick to my stomach. And it wasn't a hangover.

So here I am- in bed- starving - since all I've eaten is saltines but I'm both afraid and too tired to get out of bed to get food.

Isn't life grand?

At least I got a full day off out of the deal. -- my something good for today.
