Lovin' the wiggle...

So it happens to be that on my most unmotivated gym days, I tend to surprise myself. Yesterday, I jogged my first consistent mile since I was 13. Can you believe that?? It started out with a lack of wanting to work out at all. I have been at the gym all week and was already achy in the randomest places. So yesterday, I decided it was going to be an "easy walking day" and I'd walk my mile in in like 20 minutes. Once on the treadmill, I was even MORE unamused with working out and figured "Well I can never finish a mile without jogging and walking but maybe if I jog as much as I can as quick as I can, I'll be over with it faster. If I can do at least a quarter of it without my shins kicking my ass, I will be happy". The quarter mile, breezes by and I figure "Maybe I can jog my first half mile... If I can do this I seriously will freak out"! Half a mile later and I was still okay... so I kept going at this point I decided "Screw three quarters, we

So how is the fitness program going?? Well I've been doing really well about religiously working out for about 4 months now. I feel stronger and can see slight (and I mean slight) changes in my body as far as flexibility and endurance.... so that's a good start! The scale however, continues to taunt me by not budging an inch. Granted I know that I should also be on a hard core diet in order to see some crazy results... but "come on scale.... not even a pound??" I have been trying to stay away from the unnecessary snacks and all, but I'm Latin... beans, rice, and grilled something is part of my diet! That doesn't change as quickly as I'd like it to... and it happens to be 5co de Mayo today.... so margaritas WILL have to be consumed. It's just the way it is. None the less, there is a hill I've been trying to conquer. It's the same type hill I couldn't walk up a few years ago that I can now do the 3 mile trek in about 48 minutes. That's pr

Artistically or even just for the irrelevant facts, I am fascinated by/attracted to people with giant brains! I myself, am terrible... absolutely TERRIBLE at everything! I have no talent and am really kind of a bimbo. In school, I successfully was able to maintain average grades in honors classes. I legitimately believe that I WAS the dumbest girl in all my classes and may have solely been there for the entertainment value of my shenanigans! Well, 10 years later and still in college, I think it might have just been confirmed as true. As a kid, I loved having long conversations with just about anyone who would teach me everything from how to watch football, how they acquired the career they are in, to even talks about relationships why stuff happens. I think I may know more than I let people assume that I know... However, academics and writing, is definitely not my forte. Example one: One best friend who I used to work for is urked by the use of the word "agreeance" in our lan
