5Mile Saturday RUN; WE ARE WAITIN’ For the right moment;Food free day!

The coffee kept me up most of the night!!!! LOL  That’s what I get for weening off coffee.  Anyhow, the only reason why I drank some with SPLENDA - something I have not have in a long time is because we saw Terminator at 10pm and I tend to fall asleep during movies.  Thus, I had to drink coffee.  Yep Almost 3 weeks without it made a 24ozer taste yummy and wired me UP! :)

Got up and had a nice lazy morning with my honey, if you know what I mean.  He took off for work and I chilled.  I saw the series finale of The L Word on demand.  Sad the show is over.  Great series.

I ate a huge breakfast of rolled oats and raisin.  Then took off for the gym.  I got a nice 5 mile run in!! YAH OH YAH!!!! Then I spent an hour doing more of a relaxation and stretch yoga on account of the 10 mile walk yesterday and the 7 miles run and walk today.  Boy did I need it.

I’m still protecting my shoulders.  IT feels 98% better.  The other 2% will keep me from doing any upper body weight routine today.  Tomorrow I think, think I can do it.  I am itching to get back to my push-ups but will wait on those as well.  I just want to do weights and yoga.

Today I am not counting calories or worry about what I’m eating.  It’s my free day. :)

Regarding whether or not we are getting engaged, we both decided that our engagement is too special.  He wants to make it PERFECT for me - everything I’ve dreamt of.  It’s not like we are going anywhere.  Thus, I will let him handle it.  Where there’s a will there’s a way.  He said, look, let me make it special for you.  I will wait for the ring to do it.  We both love each other to death but the ring, it means alot to me.  More because I want it to erase my past and represent the present and futre.

DRUNK OFF EXERCISE! ROD said I’m crossed eyed; Step, Kicking and Yoga w- my baby PUSH-UPS

You know how you guys said go for your run?  Well, I just didn’t have time to sneak it into my day at work.  FORTUNATELY!!!! I MADE IT TO THE GYM FOR ALL 3 CLASSES!

Your not too smart girl here looked at the wrong schedule!  I did my 3 classes!  Not only did I do them but I did them with a ton on energy.  Thank Mr. Adrenaline aka STRESS!  I love my classes!  I took all my anxiety out in each hour!  3 hours of lovin’ coming my way was exactly what I needed.  AND AND this new guy who was in yoga - I told him don’t be scared of Nygel’s Power yoga class - he didn’t believe me - until he did the class AND COULDN’T DO ALL THE TRICEPS PUSH-UPS WITH ME AND MY 5 HOMEGIRLS!  Yep, don’t estimate underestimate the power of strong women! :) LOL Oh, no don’t even try to give me any girl push-ups! We are talking about full body all the way get them out triceps I mean business push-ups!

Oh, Rod tells me I looked crossed eyed in my default pic!! Now I have to sit here and go through my birthday pics and find something else to use.  Now, how come no one else told me I looked crossed eyed?  Shoot maybe I should take my crossed eye and cross him out!!!! AH baby PMS is here and I’m going to hurt the man.  Now I feel dumb having this picture up this whole time.

Tomorrow, I’m going with him to LA to see what we can do about postponing his interview.  There’s no way we can go without an attorney and his mom!

PRAY FOR US!

Oh, tomorrow morning - I’m so doing a 5K run before work.

LOL - let me go settle down and come off my exercise high.  Anyone need a shot of energy?  I have some to spare!

1st 10K!!!!! Yes 1st 10K & Loving meditation

I Have no idea what happened to my first blog. :(

I just want to start off by saying, I love this site.  We are here to support one another on our individual journeys.  Of course, what an individual does is their prerogative, their call because it’s their life.  My job as a buddy is to be here and give myself to the best of my abilities.  We will not always see eye to eye on issues, but that’s what makes this place great - we still support one another.  Can I call myself a veteran  Buddyslimmer?  Well,  I think in a few years I can LOL.  But I’ve seen a lot of things happen on this site.  I am by nature a very quiet person, for the most part.  I don’t like confrontation at all.  But on this site I have voiced my very strong opinions about certain issues - my main one being diet pills, supplements and what not.  I voice my opinion because I do have some knowledge of these issues.  Now, if I don’t have any knowledge of say running, you won’t see me commenting much on that issue because I don’t want to look like a butthead!  Plain and simple.  Well, I run now but I’m far from being knowledgeable.

So how I handle myself and offer support is base on things that I know.  If I don’t have one clue about it I won’t go into details and let others who knows more about it address it.  That’s my point of view.  I’m also learning that I have to start taking a few steps back before commenting on anyone’s blog, forum postings,etc………I realize that a blog is just a tiny glimpse of someone’s life.  I told myself that I will stop jumping to conclusions and take my time to ask questions, if I don’t understand something.  Or if I know nothing then I won’t say anything at all.

I DID IT!  I DID IT! I DID IT!  I ran my first 10K non-stop.  I chose to not look at the time because this is my first full run.  Maybe in a few weeks I can start timing myself.  In order to grow and becoming a stronger running I have decided to do a few things.  I am forever shaving time off each run, adding mileage when I can, cross train my heart out, build my core for stamina and last but not least learn and continue to use Yoga and meditation to make a mind, body and soul connection.

Did I mention already I did a 6 miles + all my little old self!!!! :)  Then I did 40 minutes of yoga with a focus on stretching my leg muscles and 20 min. of meditation.

Well, mom and I have not been on speaking terms for almost two months -  my doing.  But today I went and bought flowers for her and my sis.  They both cried.  I’m still having problems communicating with mom, but this is a stepping stone right?

Yes, Rod is so on board with my meditation practice! YAH!  He agrees I need to de-stress and hopefully things will work and we will have a visit from the stork ourselves.  We are both very excited about making changes and making moves towards becoming a better couple.  I think with my med practice, it will help our relationship and we will grow closer then ever.   But I’m so not putting all my eggs in one basket.  Just one issue at a time.

Every day is a new day!! Make the best of it!
