No Motivation=Time to Write a RAP

Before I get into my exercise and eating... let me tell you my newest goal.
WRITE A RAP.
"Da Subway wRap"
"wRap it up"
"mm mm mm wRAP"
... feel free to give me a good name/good lines.
it's ABOUT TO BE DOPE.
once I get it written you know where to look (here) and once I get my camera working... MAYBE a VIDEO.
...any free video software advice would be appreciated. :)

After I write this, you can call me FO DEE cent... (forty cent)

word.

Exercise
Let me break this down for you.

Last Tuesday: 4 year anniversary = no workout
Last Thursday: My birthday= no workout
Last Saturday: Friends visit = no workout
This Monday: HOME= no workout
This Tuesday: exhausted= no workout
Yesterday: sick= no workout

needless to say, it has almost been a week since I worked out... and we ALL KNOW I wasn't eating healthy... go figure. Literally... there GOes my FIGURE. tehe. so punny.

Last night I made Tuna Noodle Casserole.  MMMmmmmMmmm  my favorite.  but I ate A LOT of it... and then I had a snickers, and some combos... and milk. BAH.

Food
Breakfast: 2 poptarts
Lunch: Shakeology mmm
Dinner: Smart ones?  Salad? combos? (meh... we'll see won't we?)

Wordpress: MILK DAT COW

I was told I should move my blog over to Wordpress because it allows for a lot more hits.
Now, I'm not going to argue, Wordpress seems to be REAL technical and STUFFZ.
How does a no0bz like me know?  I COULDN'T edit anything.

...There was very little room to edit the html and play around with the layout.
...SOMEONE PROVE ME WRONG... please?

So... that will be for a later time when I can figure out WHAT the HECK I'm doing.
Until then, I'm going to be cool on blogger where I actually feel comfortable.
Wordpress, I'm sure you're awesome and I know the recommendation was absolutely correct...
...but I'm a mere college student that knows little to none about web hosting and domains... and I have NO money to pay to try to figure it out.
Although, CLAIRE_IS_AWESOME.com has a nice ring to it...

I'm going to try to write about stuff that actually matters on here... which means I probably won't write a lot. tehehe... ... .. What is my life?  What happened to all the interesting things that happen to me?  I need material people... SOMETHING?

Food
Breakfast: Chocolate Shakeology w/ peanut butter
Lunch: Turkey w/ Provalone on wheat bread, pickles, and pita chips with hummas mmmmm
Din Din: (TBA) Salad?


my lunch is photogenic.

Exercise
MUST be back on track.  I have a week left of Insanity (calendar-wise) but I've missed so many days with my crazy schedule that I'll probably finish up mid next week (I'm supposed to finish Saturday, but I have a few days to make up).

After Insanity, I plan on starting P90x.  I don't think I'm going to follow the rigid plan like I did with Insanity... look where missing a few days gets me. BEHIND (literally) and BEHIND (as in my BEHIND is getting huge... ha..) really though, if you don't allow yourself leeway you're going to set yourself up for failure.  Plus, I know I'm going to want to do some Insanity and Turbofire on some days instead of P90x.  We'll see my friends, we'll see.

Oh, guess what world?  I GOT AN iPhone... and it's wonderful.  There's an app where you can milk a cow.  A little weird... and dare I say erotic; in a awkward sort of way.

No, I don't have a thing for cows... (well I do)
... but NOT LIKE THAT (though I eat them)
... but NOT LIKE THAT.



see, now you're weirded out too.

ENJOY!

Beachbody Coach

I am officially signed up to be a Independent Beachbody Coach!

Now that I have less than three weeks left of Insanity I wanted to take the next step, and share my love of the Beachbody workouts with others.

So, if you're reading this... you probably know me... seeing as I don't think I have an audience of people who don't know me that are going to come to this blog to read about my life (YET, I'll be famous someday... ;) ).

My Weight Journey

For as long as I can remember, I've always been preoccupied by my weight:  especially after I quit ballet after doing it for over 6 years... I went from a size zero to a size 5 and gained about 20 pounds.  At 5' 3" I was around 115 pounds throughout high school. I usually worked out 5 times a day at the local YMCA, I was terrified of gaining weight... but I loved to eat.  AWESOME.

When I started college, I gained the SOPHOMORE 10... or 15... maybe 20.  I don't want to talk about it.  Somehow I avoided my freshman year but after my father passed away, I lost control of my eating habits.  I'm a fairly active person but I didn't make a habit of going to the gym.  And man, I LOVE TO EAT.  That's what gets me.

Then, one summer, I came across Turbo Kick at my local gym and I was HOOKED.  Soon after I bought Turbo Jam.  But, once I went back to school... workout?  NO THANKS.  For the next 3 years my weight went between 120-140.  Let's just say... for a short girl, that's not fun at ALL.  I bought Insanity my senior year, but sprained my ankle soon after, and I wasn't able to continue with it.

Now

Then I graduated college and moved into an apartment where I couldn't even WALK without people complaining about the noise.  Needless to say, I didn't work out for over  year.  Excuses and more excuses.  Weight going up and weight going down.  I was miserable.

In July 2011, I moved into an apartment with my best friend, and boyfriend.  We decided that once we were unpacked, we were going to commit the next 63 days to our fitness... For 63 days we sold our life to INSANITY.

With less than 3 weeks left, I know that I've made a lifelong dedication to fitness.  I can't believe that I have worked out 6 days a week for 6 weeks already.  I never thought it was possible.

Results?

Let's just say I haven't gotten my eating in order.  I love food.  Through writing in this journal, I hope I will be able to get a GRIP on my eating habits.  My body is stronger than it's ever been, and my endurance is through the roof, but when I look at my stomach... it's not where I want it to be.

What's Next?

After Insanity, I plan on doing Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme.  I still can't decide whether I will do a hybrid or both at the same time.  I never thought the day would come that I would be excited to exercise.  I just love the way it makes me feel PHYSICALLY, feeling my body getting stronger everyday and MENTALLY, knowing I'm accomplishing something for myself everyday, in hopes of one day been content with the body I'm in.  Gotta work on that self esteem right?

I'm going to go from WTF to OH YEAH.
