Truth: A long run around campus is way more stress relieving than eating junk.
This is the retardedly happy face of someone who can run a mile and finish an hour long workout video, without stopping.
This is exciting, because just a few days ago I couldn’t do either.
Getting stronger!
Note to self.

I used to sleep til 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Now it’s become habit to strap on the shoes and do something with my body. I ran/hiked about 5 miles today in whole. Then had a really tastey salad. I would push myself hard especially on the uphill parts of the trail. I really like feeling like my lungs are going to explode.
This is the 7th day in a row that I have done some type of challenging work out.
Reconstructing my habits. And my future.

Handstand
This picture really inspires me, because she’s strong enough to hold her weight. Something I can’t do. Despite needing to lose at least 30 pounds, one of my biggest insecurites is being weak. I just did pilates, and found myself needing to do all the modified versions of the excersizes. It all occured to me at once, that I wasn’t okay with that. I don’t want to be stuck doing the versions of the work out that are for those who are severely overweight, weak or maybe even old. I’m 19 years old. There’s no reason for this lack of strength. It’s time to rebuild it, as a reclaimation of my youth. I began really pushing myself, and putting my muscles through trial. I know I’m going to hurt in the morning and I’m fine with that.
I just want to know that I am strong enough.

The Low Down
Alright, the meaning of the lack of talkin’ and pictures on here isn’t that I’ve stopped working out. I just got ZUMBA! So all my workouts have been in the living room. Zumba, for those of you that don’t know, is a dance based work out series that has allowed me to already get a little bit more toned. But that get’s boring. Yesterday I went on a hike with my best pal Sam, and also played tennis the day before.
Sam and I are actually going to be conjoining this blog because she’s on the same mission. This is going to help ensure that we’re both keeping up with each other on our goals, especially while she’s in Lancaster, and I’m in Northridge.
We both have entirely different figures,strengths and weaknesses, but share the common need for a constantly shifting and exciting exercise routine.
Winter break is upon us.
Who wants to go running/hiking sometime?
7 pounds gone.
Despite messing up a couple times this week.
I’m excited to see how much I can throw off as I get even better at this.
November 30th, 2011
Today was weird and long and happy and miserable.
I got out of bed feeling good. I even took a shower and walked to my 8 am class, which is a rarity. It was a really beautiful morning. I came back between my classes to take a nap, and I got trapped in a dream. Everytime I thought I was waking up, I was only dreaming it.
When I left my group project tonight, it was really windy, and for some reason I loved it. I went to Seirra hall and climbed 16 flights of stairs all the way to the top floor. I took a picture of the view, but my phone is god’s wrath to photography. I spent a lot of time alone. It felt necessary.
Then after this, I had to go to a ridiculously long, bizarre show called “Caucasian Chalk Circle.” It was 90 percent “What the fuck” and ten percent “YEAHAAHAHAHA!” And the plot sounds nothing like the title at all.
Anyway, I think I’m going to do the 16 flights of stairs everyday from now on. It’s a simple and painful way to get my legs into shape.
So long November.
I want to be happy again soon.
Did some stairs.
Too lazy to upload a picture of the stairs.
Go team.
