Addicted to these!

I eat these quite often. When I'm at work, to keep my hand away from the pastry case I'll grab one of the Clif bars that we sell. I have read on numerous websites that they aren't good for you. They're made for people hiking who need a lot of sugar and carbs to burn. I don't work out that intensely so maybe I need to give them up. Everything in moderation...

Boo Shoes

I am so upset! I have a nice pair of black Nike's I wear all the time and I love them. I even work out in them. I wore them once without socks and they're done for. Every time I wear them now, they smell SO bad. My feet stink up a whole room. It's gross but I'm still wearing them. I love them. I'll just have find a way to unstink them at home with Pinterest. Also, my ankles starting hurting pretty bad the days after my workouts, I asked my mom about it and she said it's my shoes. They're not supporting my legs the right way when I run. That sucks. 1. Because I can't wear these shoes running anymore. And 2. Because now I have to spend money! Running shoes are expensive.

Dead and Reborn

I started going to a circuit training class with my friend Tracey, who is also my coworker. It's on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Kettlebell in Spring Arbor. The class I take isn't Kettlebell, it's Jill's personal classes. The first time I did it, it kicked my butt. I wasn't even done with the first round and I was sweating and out of breath too! For goodness sakes, there was an old lady doing more work than I was. I half-assed the second round because I was so tired. Jill said I did great for my first time. That sure shocked me. That was last Thursday and I went again on Tuesday. I felt awesome afterward. I reserved much of my energy for the second round because that's what beat me bad last time. I got done with the class and felt like I should have pushed myself harder, which is what I'm going to do next time. I'm excited, I'm getting in shape! Mostly, it's women that go. Class is cancelled this Thursday sadly, Jill had a death in the family. But I'm excited to go now. It's a good workout and I don't feel like I'm dying anymore.

Underwear or a constant wedgie?

Underwear is probably the stupidest thing ever invented. I get so many god damn wedgies from underwear. It's more uncomfortable than protecting. I feel much more comfortable when I'm not wearing it. God, you gotta let that thing air out! The only time I personally wear it is when I'm having woman issues, when I'm wearing coarse textured jeans, or when I exercise. The only time necessary to wear underwear is when you're exercising. Sweat and your special area do not mix. I've done my research and people can stop judging me now! The only reason why we think wearing underwear is important is because that's what society has told us. Relax people and let it breathe. I do shower, ya know. But I can't stress how important it is to wear underwear when you exercise. Do it, or you'll be sorry.

Things to know if you wear it, Ladies

OCD

I really notice my OCD when I'm running. I know it sounds weird, but let me explain. Some people can make a three mile loop around town somewhere that drives me nuts! How am I supposed to know when I'm halfway, or no its my last lap that I sprint. I can't run on treadmills, I get too bored and the time seems longer. I like running on a track, I can keep track of my progress! I also bought a watch to keep track of my lap times... I don't understand why I'm so weird like that. Oh well, I'm consistent? Anyway, I'm OCD all the way down to exercising. I'm weird.

Valentine's Day

I'm naughty. One cheat day turned into and extended weekend. Eating all that sugar Friday and then people taking me out to eat to celebrate... It's rough sticking to it. I think cheat days are necessary though. Who can eat healthy full time and not salivate when someone shoves boxes of chocolate in their face. My cheat day turned into a weekend but that's why I'm running three miles today... yay. I'll regret my bad eating habits when I cramp from running. What you eat really effects how you feel when you exercise! Anyways, strict diet this week because of my weekend.

Mondays

Oh Mondays, they suck. But I'm sure that's something everyone knew.Yesterday was cheat day, yes cheat days are allowed on this diet. Not having one is so unrealistic! How can I not crave the salty, hot fries that McDonald's serves or sweet Lindor truffles? Maybe if I lived somewhere in Africa where my only choices are rice. I don't know... This country markets us too much for someone to not want to eat chocolate instead of cucumbers. Anyway, going from garlic bread and pizza Sunday, then eating a salad for lunch sucks! Pizza is my FAVORITE. Valentine's day is my cheat day this week, so someone better buy me the best of best when it comes down to chocolate. That's all I look forward to, is cheat day. Today I did a light exercise. I did some stairs, stretched, ran a mile. I didn't feel great doing it but what could I expect after eating all that junk food. Tomorrow's run should be better.
