new real life adventure.

i think i saw this girl on pinterest (i may or may not be addicted).  i. was. Dying.  literally falling over from laughing so hard.  who knows - maybe it's not even funny, but definitely give her a try.

no.  it's funny.  i just watched it again and almost threw up from laughing (i did abs earlier...).

________________________________

i'm starting on a new adventure.  one i've never had to take so seriously.  i'm a little nervous.

here's the story (i will make it short, well, because it is short):
i had a little - and by little, i mean 37 pounds - reaction to the birth control i recently tried out (in april).  they told me about the usual 5 pounds.  so i kept explaining away to myself the next 5 pounds.  the last 25 have happened since i've been in texas, and i explained it away as stress/new place of residence/school.
and then it suddenly hit me:  there is no more explaining away.  maybe this "reaction" was a reaction and not me being lazy, but now i have to do something about it.  and i've never had to do anything about my weight before.  if i was having a "fat day"  i would eat super healthy, drink a lot of water, and run for 3 days, and i would be back to normal.  but not this time.  this time i'm going to have to work really hard.

and so i decided to write about it on here so that maybe i would be accountable to someone (the entire internets, all 3 of you!).  because how can you do a before without an after?  right?
i'm not quite brave enough to do a "before", but maybe when i have a "during" i will be brave enough to compare the 2.


so here is everything:

START:  21.Nov.  1*6 lb (also not brave enough to say)
     FIRST GOAL:  -6 lb
     AND:

• 30 day thing from this place, which actually has some good workouts (and short so you can't talk yourself out of them).  it is actually only 4 weeks of 4 days a week.  it is a bit skanky, with the girls all in their pushup/sports bras, but hey, they are Fiiiitttt.  so i guess they earned their 'shirts off' rights.
• run the other 3 days a week.
• eat salad every day.
• drink 6 glasses of water a day (i'll work up to 8...)

TODAY'S FIT TEST (50 seconds with a 10 second break in between)
     Squat Jumps - 32
     Pushups - 1 real one and 21 girly ones
     Burpees - 11
     High Knees - 122 (or 61 if you count each knee as a set)
     Switch Lunges - 23 (or 11 pairs? does that make more sense?)
     Tuck Jumps - 15 (i hate you, tuck jumps)
     Situps - 23 (WHAT HAPPENED, ABS?  I USED TO BE SO GOOD AT YOU!!!)

i do realize that the day before thanksgiving may be the stupidest day of all time to start a serious workout.  but pretty much no day is a good day if you've lost the habit of working out and craving endorphins....

anyways.  another fit test in 30 days.  hopefully i'll make my FIRST GOAL before then!!!!!
