well it's been awhile since i have graced you all with my writing presence!:)
the last few weeks have been very relaxing actually. my professor had my paper so i didn't have to worry a damn minute about that thing! i have it back in my possession now though...and just as i expected...he changed a majority of the first 6 pages to his writing. i knew this would happen! which i guess i can't be that mad about...it's one less thing i have to do. so i think i'm done stressing over this paper...because i know how it's going to turn out from this point forward: his writing. awesome!
joined a gym this week that has an 8 week transformation challenge. im pretty pumped about this. 8 weeks and i plan on being able to kick someone's ass!!! haha the first class i attended last friday was incredible...ropes, push ups, throwing weighted balls, pulling sleds, and carrying sandbags. freakin sweet! first two classes were pretty kick ass as well...i leave there each time feeling strong!! i had my second personal training session this week and just felt like i accomplished so much during 1 hour...unlike when i run!!! fyi...stress fraction in the right foot = not awesome at all!
the previous point reminds me to fill you in on new year's resolutions. i have completely nixed a resolution: marathon. marathon...i am over you officially. you caused me to injure the foot after 5 months of running...and this pisses me off! ill just throw some weighted balls around, whip the rope, do push ups on the bosu ball, carry kegs and sandbags, and push sleds all over the place. much cooler than running! :)
working out 4-6 times a week...while i have not stuck to this totally...i am working out multiple times a week. but i do really want to kick my ass in gear and get it going. and i need to do that with this 8 week transformation challenge...reinstating this resolution as of today. florida seems like a perfect place to start that!
blogging more...well obviously i've failed at that one! lol i haven't signed in for who knows how long!!!! i was just talking with a certain someone today about blogging...and i often feel like i am just complaining on here and sometimes am hesistant to post because i don't just want to complain. i want to have something meaningful i guess. so i'm working on that part...and pictures...well i officially suck at that part! ill fix that next weekend when im in chicago for aaron's graduation!!! pictures to come!!!
and losing body fat...well while i am not sure how much body fat i have lost yet...i do know that i have lost 12 pounds since the beginning of january. i am currently weighing in at 132...i don't think i've weighed this much since junior high!!! maybe a short period of time during my junior year in college when i slept through lunch for 2 months during 6 am practices...otherwise i really think it was junior high! haha i feel great...which is the best part of the whole thing. i had my body fat tested on january 18th i believe...and according to the 3 site caliper test, i regret to announce that it estimated 30%...ugh! however, i just had it tested on the machine that you hold out in front of you at the gym on tuesday, march 6th and that was at 22.4%. talk about a serious discrepancy!!!! haha so i plan on getting tested again with the 3 site caliper test sometime this month...and then at the end of my 8 week transformation challenge i will check in with that too. so in the next 2 months i will have a definite answer to this goal!
my diet has improved as well. i buy more fruits and vegetables at the store...much less processed food. which i'm super ecstatic about. i think it's truly paying off as well...considering i have managed to make it through the coldest months of the year without getting sick!!! hells yeah!!! :) i try to buy organic when i can! loving it!
and finally a little update on aaron and i...while he has been gone at navy bootcamp training since january 23rd, i have only spoken to him 1 time on the phone...and that was on january 23rd! ahh! he has called twice since then and i have missed both calls :( i am on high alert currently with my phone just patiently waiting for him to call again! on march 16th he will graduate from boot camp...and he was named honor recruit of his division!!!! so that's pretty exciting. i can't wait to go straight from our florida trip to chicago to see him graduate!!! i am super proud of him and knew he would do extremely well. while it has been difficult, it hasn't been as hard as i was expecting. i stay super busy with ball and school so i don't have much time to think about it. and thanks to a new good friend, i have someone who i know i can talk to about it and they will just listen! :) thank you...you know who you are!!
school is winding down...only 8 weeks left. which also means only that much time left with the softball team. i'm not sure where my path will take me...and that is excruciatingly scary for me! i don't know what i'm good at and i don't know what i want to spend my life doing. when i get a job, i want to be the best at it that i can be and i currently don't feel like i know what that might be. i want to make a difference in someone's life...or make a difference in general. where do i find that? i suppose we'll find out in due time...
currently on our way to florida....and we have like 16 hours left!! haha gotta love the bus...
til next time...:)
