Happy Saturday!

Saturday, November 05, 2011

What a week... it felt like the longest week ever, yet it flew by. On Sunday, the boyfriend and drove up to Albany to see Mat Kearney. It was fun, and Mat was good live. I had a large amount of school work due this week, plus on Wednesday I drove 3 hours to Rochester to see Taking Back Sunday live (WHICH WAS AMAZINGGGGGG), stayed the night at my sister's dorm, then drove 3 hours back home to make it to class Thursday afternoon. All the craziness this week caused me to forget an important deadline for pre-enrollment next semester, so I lost my place in two classes, one of which I need to graduate, so hopefully there will be spots left by the time I register.
Tonight I'm busing tables at the Gala for the hospital, so I'll be working 4:30 until probably 1:30am. It's gonna be a long night but I need the money. In two weeks it'll be Thanksgiving break and I can't wait, ugh.

  

If you have a facebook, please help me win a contest! It will only take seconds!

I entered a contest to meet one of my favorite bands, and in order to win I have to have the most "likes" on this one wall post. I have a ways to go because someone has 180+ likes so far. PLEASE HELP! All you have to do is click "like" and that's it!!

Jogged for 2.4 miles nonstop today.

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

I wasn't going very fast of course, but still, no walking whatsoever. Never done that before. So this is a new accomplishment for me, and I'm proud of myself. Shin splints are gone so my nice jog was pain free.

Kudos to YOU! I know how great that felt for me last year when I started doing that in preparation for the Binghamton Bridge Run...you ought to think about doing that 5K...I've already signed up and I'm FAR from any serious kind of runner! :-) Don Report Inappropriate Comment

Trick or Treat Trot

Monday, October 24, 2011

I decided I'm gonna do SP's Trick or Treat Trot Virtual 5K! One of the routes I run is exactly 3.1 miles so it's perfect. I was gonna follow either the Couch to 5K program or SP's 5K Your Way but I tried doing week 1 of SP's program and it was hard keeping track of time when I'm outside and not on a treadmill, so I'll just estimate how long I've been walking and running with my music when I do it. I hope it helps me improve my times!

  

Watch me shrink!

Saturday, October 22, 2011

Awhile back, I went through a bunch of photos on my computer between 2010 and 2011 and put them all in one folder, and changed the file name to my approximate weight when that picture was taken. When I'm feeling unmotivated, I scroll through the photos in reverse order (from highest weight to lowest weight), and I love seeing myself "shrink" in the photos. I thought I would share!

YAY! I always feel good after going through those photos.
Have a good Saturday, everybody!

Love this!! Congrats on your achievements, you look wonderful! I have a few photos like this except they're all about a year apart at Christmas... I lost a lot of weight one year and gained a lot the next... I like to look at the "skinny" one and envision myself there next year! Report Inappropriate Comment
