Hey all..
Long time, no post.
Well the summer is rolling around and I still need to get in swimsuit shape! I've been taking kickboxing classes at Amerikick on Rt. 70 twice a week and boy oh boy are they tough! I'm instantly dripping in sweat. It's an hour long but it is 1 tough hour! I leave there feeling so great. And I think it's really made me feel like I can do anything if I can make it through this class without giving up. I also feel now I could kick anyones ass if need be :) I just need to figure out how to keep my pedicure pristine during the summer with these classes!
Also, on Saturday I ran the 5k "run for clean air". Now I feel totally hooked! Anyone know any runs coming up? Anyone want to join on my running bandwagon? I found this website "Running in the USA" that lists all runs by States and Months that are coming up. I'm so proud of myself that I ran the entire 5 k without stopping. I know its not much of an accomplishment but its a start! So thats about 3.2 miles, right? So now I just have to train to do more. Eventually I would love to do the Broad Street Run which is in May and is 10 miles. Maybe next year!
I just wish my all around attitude was a little more positive right now. I feel if I get a new job, and get more into what I want to be doing with my life, that would make me a lot happier. Right now I really feel like that's the only piece thats missing.
Hope everyone out there is doing well. Leave some comments. Any good places to run? Tips on training?
Happy Spring :)

Back by popular demand..
Did you guys miss me?
Ok so between all the snow and Valentines day chocolates I may have slighly been thrown off my diet. Still no meat/dairy but add a lot of alcohol and sweets! Brad got me lindor truffles for Valentines day- yum. And they're not gone yet!
Also, I've really been craving beer lately! The last few weekend I've had a few blue moons. I can't be doing that because beer instantly puts weight on me. So I'm asking if anyone out there has a good low cal alcoholic drink. I don't drink soda since I've read its really nothing you should put in your body and it can make your ass lumpy! lol I'm serious. Once I read that I swore off all soda. So I need a soda-less low cal drink. My usual go-to's are ofcourse wine (did I even have to type that) and bloody marys. Sometimes I'll have a vodka and crystal light. Any suggestions?
So today I signed up for 2x a week kickboxing classes. Let me just say if these classes don't kill me first then I think I'll be in great shape for summer. I stayed at work tonight till 6 and went to a 6:30 class. Oh man, it was tough for a Monday workout. And since I didn't eat dinner before I went I felt a little pukish. But I thought it would be even worse on a full belly. If anyone is interested in taking a class let me know. They are pricey, but I can tell this will work. It's also super fun to just wail out on a punching bag. This was my treat to myself with my pending tax return money. All the girls in the class are super tiny so it must do something!
Anyway, I will try to update this more.
I need to find some quick easy vegan dinners to make. I hope to make it to the grocery store/trader joes this weekend so hopefully I'll have an update for you on what I decided to make.
Make it a good one!

2 things
1. do NOT buy the "simply asia" miso soup. Gross! Stick with the other brand at Target, I think its called Annie Chungs, and it comes in an off white squarish bowl
2. Found this website and thought it was pretty cool www.freecycle.org People giving away / trading every day things instead of throwing them away.
It's been a long week. Will blog more this weekend. Night all.

I feel inspired!
So Just a quick post but I love how I'm inspiring people to eat better and work out! I know I'm a faux vegan (Still eat fish), but just the fact that people are actually changing their diets really makes me so proud! Even if you could just give up chicken, beef, greasy fast food.. every little step counts! And I've inspired others to try Jillian Michaels (The best workouts ever).. so I'm feeling great!
Just got done Jillian Michael's "No more Trouble zones", going to have some carrots and hummus, and then off for some much needed shopping with the boyfriend..
I'm still waiting for my body to turn around. I feel I haven't lost pounds since I went faux vegan, but I do just feel much better all over, and I feel my hair and skin look better also.. now if I could just lose the thighs!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!! :)

yummy miso soup
Ok, so I've been super boring lately, but it's Monday and I'm tired, but I wanted to share a new exciting find of mine. At Target it their ethnic foods aisle they have vegan miso soup for about $2.00. It comes in a little microwavable bowl, and you just need to add the water and heat. It was pretty good and an exciting find for me!!
Also, my favorite thing lately is homemade pizzas (Cheeseless). It's amazing how good a pizza can be without the cheese! From Trader Joe's you can buy flatbreads seasoned with olive oil and sea salt.. and I just add some marinara sauce ( again Trader Joe's has a great marinara sauce) and some pizza seasoning and garlic powder and pop it in the toaster oven. delish!
I was proud of myself today for still making it to the gym even though I stayed at work late, and ran/walked on the treadmill for 50 mins. When you're feelin flabby, nothing is better than a good run and sweat!
OOH! Last good find: Vanilla Chai Tea bags at Target. Delish! My new favorite thing to have as dessert.
Ok, since I gave out so many good tips, I can call it quits. Night all!
workout: 50 mins walk/run
stomach: feeling good! ( finally after the stomach bug!)
mood: tired
alochol: none!

Time to get back to reality
So I haven't blogged ( or worked out ) in a few days bc I have some sort of stomach bug. Its not fun, and has kept me close to my house at all times.. lol.. and thats all I want to say about that. You would think after a little over 24 hrs of this I would be feeling thin but I'm def not!
I hope to get in a good workout tomorrow when I hope to be fully recovered.
Anyway I stumbled upon this sit on msn and thought I'd share (next blog)
Again I would like to make some vegan friends!!
