Will I Be Fit for a Foam 5k?

"The more you push yourself, the harder you go, the further you excel, the closer you are to your own success. There's no easy way out!" -Unknown

I get emails all the time from Active.com informing me of local running events in my area and I saw this one, saw that there's mud and foam and decided I definitely have to do it. It's two months away, there's lots of obstacle courses (and mud) and it's not necessarily a race, so I could do it, right? Right.

I managed to get through a week of school and still go to the gym. Although the first week of school is usually the easiest, once I anticipated the next 7 weeks of summer classes, I regretfully decided to drop one of them. Education is important, but I felt like I was already suffering during the day after staying up until 1am trying to finish my homework and then going to work early the next day, forcing me to take preworkout supplements EVERY day instead of just when I really need it. So one class and I can stay on track.

I'm pretty proud of myself for my weekend success to, as I didn't count the whole weekend as a cheat day. I didn't really eat much, actually. Too busy.

I always wanted to make one of those food prep photo grid things, so there you have it. Why, when you eat bell peppers do you taste them for the rest of the day?



Brother, Moi, Dad

 This picture was taken yesterday at my dad's Father's Day dinner. I took this picture with my phone of the screen on my mom's camera. If I didn't do this, I might never see this photo again. That would be terrible..because I like it. Just from eating better and staying consistent at the gym, I feel better, and that might be changing my perception of myself. Does that make sense? Either way, something is working. Slowly, but surely.

"Wake up, Mom!"

I like sleeping in on weekends, but sometimes the dogs have a different agenda. Especially when they decide to start wrestling on top of me as if I'm just a lumpy extension of the bed.
