I wanted to quickly add that my google readers did miss out on the pictures posted at the end of my Bloomin’ 4 Mile race report, so if you wanna see them all, you’ll need to actually come to the site. 
So, I have 1 month until I take my amazing summer trip. This trip is going to be about 1/8 amazing work for my professional career, 1/8 harry potter fan girl ness, 1/4 trip to paris, and 1/2 immersion into Spanish culture and joy at seeing my lola.
I’ve decided that since the first part of the trip will be in Alicante, on the mediterranean coast, and I’ll have to wear a swimsuit, I’ll go a bit extra with my training for the next month.
I hereby PLEDGE to continue running 3 days per week, and to also do 5 days per week of the 30 day shred video. I can split them up however I want, and all of that, but I WILL do it. This is a good accountability test! I need you guys to help keep me on track! 
The count down has finally begun! I’m sooooooooooooooo excited I can hardly stand it!
Spain, here we come!

Well, I did it!!!
I worked out every day for 30 days.
I’m really proud of myself, and I’m really glad that I’ve managed to kick start a fitness regime! It’s about time!
I think the schedule I’m going to adopt for the future is something like 5 days a week. I need to be able to take a couple of days off if I want. The pressure of doing it everyday stressed me out. I think that by alleviating some of that stress, I’ll be able to keep building a positive association with working out. Of course it helps that I love the shred so much. I’ll continue doing it for sure. It was the best $10 I’ve spent in a long time.
YAY me.
Thanks for all the support, everyone.

Today, I came home and worked out SO hard!! It felt great… it is a really cool feeling to feel… stronger.
I just measured, and I’ve lost a total of 6.75 inches since starting the shred! Its crazy to me that this one, random thing has had such an impact on me.
ummm, what else? I work in the best school ever. We’re putting on the most adorable christmas play ever, and my friend, Erin is making magic out of CRAZY middle school kids. Its an adorable show, and today was the premier (really just a during school run through for the kids) but tomorrow is opening. I’ll unfortunately miss due to an exam, but… thankfully Jess will be there to put out that fire…

YES!!!!!
I’m 2/3 of the way through with my 30 day shred!!!
I’m taking measurements tomorrow morning, because while my weight loss has temporarily stalled, I feel confident that I’m getting stronger, toning up, and probably losing inches.
I can say that I HATE level 2… hate it. It is murder on my knees, and I just hate every exercise. And not in the “this move is so hard, and it makes me work hard and get strong so I hate it, and love it!”… no, I really, really hate it. I’ll never do it again. For sure.
Not to mention the blogging? Is my daily blogging annoying my G Readers yet?
Well, today marks 3 weeks of blogging everyday. And while I certainly won’t blog everyday forever, I can admit that I’ve fallen back in love with what a blog is all about.
So, hmmm, what to write about?
Well, Tinni is feeling better. Ummm, bought a few new christmas decorations today.
And I’m working on decorating my bathroom. It’s been started for a while, but I never really finished it. It will be all done tomorrow, so maybe I’ll post some pictures.
Goodnight!

well… If you’ve been reading closely, you can probably count at least a half a dozen times that I’ve mentioned, “I didn’t want to work out”, “I REALLY didn’t want to work out”, “I really, really, really didn’t want to work out”…
Well, tonight, I almost didn’t. I mean, I really almost didn’t… I had a bad urge to puke, and I really tried to convince myself that it would be okay to miss just one day. It is after all, just one day! I turned to Daron, hoping he’d say, “aww, darling… you don’t feel well. And it is just one day.”
But that is not my Daron…
He proceeded (as usual) to tell me exactly what I didn’t want to-but desperately needed to- hear.
That I made a commitment, that I set a goal, and most importantly that I could do it. He explained the difference between saying I’d work out for 30 days straight, and saying I’d work out 30 times in 31 days… My promise to myself has to be paramount. I have to make good on my word.
Instead of spewing some crap about why lowering the bar is better, I get to write about how I jumped my half way through hurdle.
So, I worked out… and not-so-surprisingly, I didn’t puke.
