So today i breathe...i didnt breathe because i couldn't i breathe becasue i could. So today I finally am in the groove of things and am looking forward to picking some berries this weekend. Why becasue I for some reason i have fallen in love with picking fruit and soon to be veggies. I just wanted to stop by and do a little update. I have to go pack my meals for tomorrow...ALL 5 OF THEM Looking forward to day 14 which is ten days from now. But i am even looking forward to start exercising on DAY 7.

PEACE OUT AND GOOD NIGHT!!!!

HE'S DANCING ALL OVER MY RIBS

So right now Hungry is doing the TANGO all over my stomach....

Yes im talking about that little orange man that Weight Watchers talks about that makes you want to give into the cravings.  Well right now he is dancing on my stomach throwing donuts at me. About 15mins ago he was dancing in the corner of my bedroom trying to get me to call China Wok and order a lunch special before 3:30pm. I always tell myself if you can make it to 3:30pm then your good. 
Today is mid-day on day three and I am struggling with the daytime, cuz some how when the sunsets i am sooooo cool and after dinner i am GREAT. This is the most strict of the meal plan I am ever going to be on, and I know that this may be extremely had for me because I have never really dieted since I started to Eat Clean and work on running a half-marathon. So I know this is not going to be easy at all for me...but with God i am going to make

DR. DRE!!!!

TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY. So Day 2 is surprisly going way better then i had expected. I decided to not workout during the first week of Cooler 1 of The Clean Eat Diet Book. Starting next week Monday I will work on having a wonderful time WORKING OUT...okay so it may not be wonderful since starting next week i would have been exerciseless (is that even a word) for the past three weeks. So I am expecting for this DVD and the instructors for my spinnning class to kick my but. It will make it all the worth wild when i get to actually slide my body into that dress that i brought and also but me so shoe and show off just two weeks of work at my friends SEX IN THE CITY BDAY BASH....yes i am hyped about an outfit and a movie...DONT JUDGE ME. Besides outsie of those shoes, the next thing that i will be heading to the mall for is my graduation outfit, and lets be honest i already have the skirt and shoes...so its just me find a top....once again....DONT JUDGE ME. I
So with all these things running along in my head i am going to work on getting myself a nice few days of exercise freedom and concentrate on living a life of PURPOSE. Which as for right now is being a teacher, homeowner, and graduate. 

STEP BY STEP

So apparently the way to healthy living is won 1 step at a time. So right now i am taking baby steps. Day 1 is finished and now i am getting my meals ready for day 2. So of course I needed to blog to yall about my feeling thru out the day and how did i even just finish my day. So i was doing really good until about 45 mins before lunch. This was because my para was eating her lunch that smelled sooooooo good. I mean she was eating ribs and i wanted to ask her for a taste, which would have seemed okay, but i dont eat RED MEAT. So then it got even worst cuz she wiped out a nutta butta and started to eat that joker...YES A NUTTA BUTTA. So of course i was sucking my water down so i would stop thinking about that dang bar of peanut butter.

I also made another decision to give up shopping for these thirty days and man-o-man all i could think about was going shoe shopping. I really need to work on not shopping since i feel like i am spending money and not getting the chance to actually wear the clothes because i dont even get to wear them before they are no longer fitting. I mean i should be excited but i literally cried when i gave away my clothes last month, and i may even break down at the end of the summer when i clear out my closet. See this way i will be able to tear the mall up when August rolls around and i go shopping for the new school year. YES TEACHER BACK 2 SCHOOL SHOP...well at least i do...DONT JUDGE ME...GOOD NIGHT YALL

IM BACK

So over the pass month and a half I have:

1.) Met my Fundraising Goal
2.) Signed up for Another 1/2 Marathon

3.) Ran my first 1/2 Marathon

But this is just the beginning of my journey to living a healthy lifestyle. During this crazy process of 9 months i shed a total of 51lbs.....YES I SAID 51LBS...so what is a girl to do but start up a second phase of this fitness journey which is going to be titled "OHLETSDOIT" yes from that famous poet Mr. Wacka Flaka Flame...lol..OKAY that was hard to do with a straight face but it is what this journey is going to be called.

So I always talk about eating clean and about the author Tosca Reno, the writer of the "Eat Clean Diet" book, which i like to say is not a diet but rather a way to live. This however will be the first time that i will be following the cooler 1 plan since i just go with the regular cooler 2 plan. So for the next 14 days i will be eating like i have never eaten before. But no only will i be eating completly clean i am also going to start eating with organic meats. So 14 days from now will be my first post about how much weight i have lost, bu every day i will be posting about what i ate, how i felt, and also post pictures of my meals and my day.

Now as far as diet i will be eating clean, but because i have signed up for another 1/2 marathon i will be logging some serious miles on the road and the treadmill. I am also going to be doing the ChaLean Extreme workout system for 60 days so i will like to see the results that my body is able to give me on day 61.

WHAT?

I ma excited to be at the gym tomorrow morning...CRAZY!!! I will be sleeping in about twenty minutes and conquering the hardest training day i have outside of Sundays with my long runs. So i will be completing two spinning classes and do one 2.5mile run. I just need to pack my bag then off to bed.
I also was excited to learn that my ex-youth choir director sent in a donation for my race fundraiser really moved me today. But then when i got back to work this afternoon one of my co-workers who family member died of the disease is making a donation in his honor. AND THAT IS WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT!!!!

FLORIDA SENTINEL

So today the article about me preparing for my race in Vancouver was published. I want to Thank Ms. G Hayes for giving me that opportunity because it is a big deal. I hope this brings me closer to my goal and allows people to understand more about why i run. Some people can be really mean or discourging when you let them know that you are baout to run 13.1miles. I not gonna lie i dont look like the picture of an distance runner but i am working on getting there.
