exercise & me

a few things about me and working out...

i have monstrously thick hair, which comes with some pros, and a lot of cons.
one of those cons is that if i want my hair up and plan on doing anything active, it HAS to be on the top of my head (making me look like a frizzy-headed cindy lou who); otherwise it just falls out and pulls and hurts. no bueno.
i mean, maybe it could be in a braid, but i am really horrible at braiding my hair so i guess i'll never know. 

all of those arm bands for your ipod are too big for my arms! i remember in high school i would borrow my mom's and have to wear it around my thigh. however that didn't work too well because every time i would take a step, my ipod would shuffle and i didn't know how to turn it off at the time haha. 
i hate having it bounce around in a kangaroo sweatshirt pocket, so i just end up holding it. and my mace (zach MAKES me bring it -_-)
this nike iskin running shirt would be perfect!

speaking of perfect workout gear, why is lulu lemon so expensive?? if my face can't look cute when i exercise, i at least want my clothes to haha. 
but i do love aerie by american eagle. cute, and not breaking the bank. and slightly more expensive, vsx-victoria's secret sport. note to valentine's day fairy, if you exist... :) 

so today i planned on running a mile around the high school track just down the street, but apparently utah doesn't believe in plowing their track. so i said no to slipping on 6 inches of ice and ran around the block instead.
i know, far cry from a mile. i'm going to use the fact that it was getting dark as an excuse. 
i did part of the workout from this blog post:

50 jumping jacks
1 minute planking
25 crunches
5 burpees

yeah... it was kind of a half-assed day. but at least i did something, right?

i'm usually pretty good about craving healthy things. i would eat a salad over a hamburger any day (if we're talking cliche healthy vs unhealthy). but honestly all i want right now is fat donut filled with custard and frosted with chocolate. too bad the nearest krispy kreme is 45 mins away.

ready, set, go!

i am going to show you all something very frightening/disturbing.
it is me & my un-fit-ness.

i want to do before vs after shots for my body transformation! so here is the unsightly before. maybe it's not unsightly to some people, but to me it is.

right now i am unfit and unhealthy. that's the cold, hard truth of the matter. 
and i'm going to change that!

i've worked out sporadically in the past, but lately i've tried to really stay on top of it.
i know what i want to look and feel like and i'm just not quite there yet.

so here is a poor quality before pic--please ignore my vacuum. obviously i need to be better at picking photo locations.

you ready?






















eek!






















i know it's just a front shot... i don't think i'm secure enough yet to show you a profile shot!! haha

so here i will be tracking my progress & sharing my workouts.
wish me luck!
