A Health Battle: Half Marathon Recap! →
constantbattle:
(this is a lot longer than I thought it would be, but I want to remember as much as I can. Excuse the excessive length! :)
The race was in San Diego, which is an hour and a half from my LA college, so Friday I got on a train and went to stay with my friend Katie. We had a delicious dinner,…

i suck.
i can’t finish 30 day challenges. i also can’t make it past day…3. wow.
i admit defeat. back to normal.
anyway, this is my last week at home (incredibly long, i know) and i’m just trying to get everything in order to pack up for spring semester and also really do a good job dieting and exercising. yesterday morning i weighed in at 162 which made me very happy, but...

i'm back home again,
and i definitely fell behind on the 30 day challenge, but i will make that up tomorrow.
i had a great time during my statewide tour (aka visiting CA and NYC), but i’m happy to be home and to spend the week laundering, cleaning, running, packing, and preparing myself for my next (and healthier!!) semester at school. i can’t wait to run at school where there’s no snow on the...

leaving on a jet...bus?
more like megabus. 2 hours until new york city and i’m very excited!
on another note, being completely freaked out about money last night, i created a mint.comaccount and budgeted all of my spending. i actually think that might help with my healthy eating, too, because it limits the times i order take out, go out to eat, and generally eat high-calorie meals. so that’s good! two birds...

but i did spend about 10 hours today on a plane. so i’m probably way over calories and too tired to do any kind of exercise, even a video. but that is okay. i’m going to NYC to visit my other friend at school tomorrow, so i’ll be walking to the train station tomorrow afternoon, and that’s a fair bit of a walk. and when i get back saturday, i am going to pick this thing...

day 3--your thinspiration (for me, more like my...
i love katherine heigl’s body. she’s my height and curvy but thin. i mostly like that i look at her and i see a real achievable goal, not a crazy celebrity dream. yes, she’s quite thin and in shape, but she also looks like a real person, with breasts and a waist and hips.
also, sorry this is probably (/definitely) NSFW…

day 2--how tall are you? do you like your height?
i’m 5’8”, and no, i’ve never especially LIKED my height. when i was a kid i shot up like a beanstalk, was all elbows and knobby knees and i hated it. one of my most vivid memories is when we lined up for picture day in height order in elementary school and all the other girls were in the front of the line and i was in the very very back with the boys. i have always felt...

WIT!
last official weigh-in (approximately when i got home from school): 166lbs
CW: 164.0lbs
down 2 pounds from when i got home from school! so that’s good, back on track (i weighed in later last week as lighter but i’m not counting that as it wasn’t a real weigh-in and is only .6 of a pound, so probably just fluctuation.). in three weeks i should be seeing the 150s—something...

I know I exercise too much. But I CAN NOT have a rest day. If I exercise less than 1.5 hours a day everythings get messed up. I get cravings, I eat too much, I feel like shit. Today, after exercising 2-5 hours a day everyday since 14 december, I took it easy. Only Jilian Micheals banish fat…

i did 20 minutes of elliptical and 5 minutes of jogging (to give my legs a break)! and i shall do my 2 miles tomorrow!!!
(secret: i’m actually excited to run 2 miles. seriously, though, i have hated running all my life. i have NEVER been excited to run ANYTHING EVER. in fact, when i had to run in gym, they used to surprise test us with a heart rate monitor stick, and i would just walk...

Eating for Cold Weather Running
Some athletes embrace winter’s chill as a welcome change from running in summer’s heat. But others complain about hating cold weather. If that is your stance, remember that exercising with proper nutrition (and layers of dry clothing) offers the opportunity to chase away the chills. After all, an aerobic workout can increase your metabolism by 7 to 10 times above the resting level....

i won't lie to you, tumblr loves.
i only went out for 1 mile yesterday instead of my 2. there are no excuses for that.
THAT BEING SAID. i almost blew it off completely, standing at my front door looking out at the snow falling and the wind blowing and just KNOWING it was going to be a rough one. but i got out there and did one loop, 11:30 pace, 28 degrees feeling like 18. but i powered through! i did a mile in my new beautiful...

a ridiculous amounts of computer/ipod software updates to get my ipod touch working and did absurd amounts of research on the best pedometers for ipod touch available, and decided to purchase this app:

minusthirty:
Today’s involved the fact that I actually do have all the time in the world to lose this weight. Not to say that I should dawdle, but that the really strict VLCD’s that exist aren’t necessary. By taking it at a slow pace and allowing myself to eat the (healthy) things I like (avocado, vegemite,…
100% in agreement. why diet if you can’t sustain it for the rest of your...

it's a lazy grumplestiltskin day.
blergh. my jaw aches and i’m having a lot of trouble sleeping lately, more than usual. my dad wants to take me to the gym soon but i don’t know if i want to go—i will, guaranteed, see at least 3 people from my high school. bleh.
i’m eating pretty on track today, got about 600 calories left, so i may just talk a walk or a jog outside later. sounds better than making small...

running in the winter in the north
is VERY different from running in the winter in the south. i ran about 1.5 (technically 1.48) miles to my friend’s house who just had HER wisdom teeth out (twins!) to visit her. i also don’t have a car. but exercise and transportation, that’s two birds with one stone!
the cold was really rough on my lungs though. i was all kinds of coughing and wheezing. but there’s only...

this year
has been one of the scariest years of my life. i have experienced some of the biggest highs and lows i’ve ever known. i also grew up in a lot of ways, and, funnily enough, got younger, too.
i got so depressed i didn’t know what to do. and i got offered help.
and i took it. that was probably the hardest thing i’ve ever done, admitting that i had lost control of my body and my...

note to self:
percocet for long periods of time, being virtually unable to travel anywhere without the assistance of anyone else, and the inability to chew any food all make me a very unhappy camper.
day 4 of wisdom teeth recovery is making me feel Crazy with a capital C. but, i am trying to assure myself that the extended anxiety and cabin-fevery feelings are just a result of the drugs and the fact that i...
