Happy New Year all!
Resolutions for 2011:
-Run the broad street run
-get down to my goal weight of XXX
(about 25 lb weight loss)
-get out of credit card debt
-organize my life.
What are your resolutions for 2011?
I made 10 for 2010 and I kept 4. Hopefully this year I can actually keep the ones I make.
I'm ready for my biggest loser weight loss challenge vs. my sister. We weigh in tomorrow, and it's a 9 week competition. I feel so much better when I'm eating right, working out, and my jeans are not cutting off circulation.
Here to 2011!

I'm torn!
So, I realized this world just is not veg/vegan friendly. Whenever we get take out or something quick I'm forced to either a plain salad (boring, not going to fill me up) or tunafish (yes, still eating fish) but we all know tunafish salad from wawa or delivery is just full of fat- mayo, oil, etc. I've been thinking I missed my grilled chicken sandwhiches- grilled chicken, buffalo sauce, and I'm in heaven. So last night Brad ordered chicken tenders and told me to try one.. and I did.. I had 2.. and they were everything I was missing.. So now I'm torn.. Add chicken back in my diet? I was never really a red meat or pork products eater so I can still do without them. I just don't know.. I'm torn.. and Brad has me on a time schedule ofcourse so I gotta go.. but what do you think??

Damn you, wii fit
After stepping on my wii fit this weekend and it telling me I went from "normal" to "overweight" I decided enough is enough and I need to get serious. I keep making excuses that I'm too tired or too tired from work to work out. And I always find excuses of why I need to eat junk. I did well this weekend except for my mom's homemade potato salad, pasta salad, and homemade strawberry shortcake trifle. Oh well, it was a Holiday and tomorrow is a new day.
I tried a new work out today of sprinting on the treadmill for 20 seconds, stepping off for 20 seconds, and going back to 20 seconds of sprinting. It made the time go by a lot faster, and was a nice change to just a standard run on a treadmill. I'm going to try to do this a few times a week.
I still need to try out delran amerikick. I really really like Marlton, and all the people there, however I can't keep driving 30 mins when there's a gym down the street from me. I just need to get over my fear and GO. (by the way if anyone wants to try it out with me, let me know : P )
anyway.. so maybe my new years pledge to myself has yet to work.. maybe my Memorial Day pledge will...

I'm back b*tches
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!
