Doesn't get much better than this...

This is going to be a short post.

I am very sick. I have been bed ridden for the past 24 hours, thanks to bad food i guess. I also got into a huge fight with my best friend that has left me sincerely wounded. Of course everything has been patched up... or at least it has on a superficial level.

We'll see I guess. I'll try and write more as I get the strength, but for now its off to the shower to get ready for work.

Whoops

                I know that I have gotten very bad at this. Life has just been a hectic mess that includes a huge dose of I really wanna sleep all the time. I can’t help it. Work is nuts. And yea, I know that so many people would kill for a job blah blah blah. The point is not that I don’t like my job. I really do. God I love the things I do and the majority of the people I meet at work. The only thing is that it can be hard going from not working at all and only being a student, to working ALL THE TIME!!!! But hey, I think I handle it well, and I think I’m good at it. I’m just sleepy. 

                So something that is really important to me is about to happen. It involves Nick… You see, recently I’ve felt like I’m just clinging to him and not really doing all those great things I did before to prove I was an awesome girlfriend. Should I have to prove it? No not at all. Do I like to? Yes, absolutely. Why? Because I’ve lived in a world where people aren’t good to each, and don’t give each other the mutual respect they owe each other. You do something nice for me and I do something nice for you. Nick does nice things for me all the time. Buys me food, takes me out, all kinds of things. I don’t have money so I can’t provide monetary things. A lot of girls think those things are part of the basic package when you enter into a relationship. They expect random flowers, chocolate, treats and other things. Yes, I would like to randomly receive flowers, or some chocolate yums, but I don’t expect them ever, one because that’s not the kind of guy Nick is and two because stuff doesn’t happen that way. Sucks but true. But, back to the subject at hand. I finally have the chance to pay him back and I’m so excited about it!!!!!!

So ill leave it there for now…

Oh my god... this is what death feels like....

             So I literally just sat down from my first ever intentional run… I think I’m dead. The end.

Well no… not really I guess. I mean I can type, but I still feel like death warmed over. Really warmed over because I decided to run at 7:30 in the morning during a Florida summer, where the day’s heat index is 109. That was mistake number one. 

Mistake number 2? Having my dog run with me. she’s a little perky but fat thing, and she just wanted to sprint or sniff.  My s&s dog. 

Mistake number 3 would be my lack of intensive stretches beforehand. I mean  stretched my thighs (front and back) and I stretched some other stuff… but I completely forgot about my calves. Stupid things… 

Mistake number 4? Well, I’m trying to decide if me sitting on my nice comfortable bed is a mistake…

Other than that I think I did good. I mean I actually ran. Yea… I had to stop every now and then so that I could breathe and Bailey could sniff, but I made no forward progress unless I was running. Slowly yes, but running. Hopefully this will happen everyday… the running not  the being death warmed over part.

So, as off June 20, 2011 I stand at 5’7 and (gulp) 145 lbs

This pretty much means, I have a goal weight loss of 15-20 pounds to get back to where I used to be.

Welcome to my journey of 

Trying not to be the fat ex-swimmer!!!!!!!!!
