The Ultimate Challenge

Since I have started attending college I have not exercised with any sort of consistency.

My diet isn’t the best either. It’s full of fried foods and lots of carbs. I tend to blame this on the lack of tasty foodstuff in the caf, but in reality I’d pick fried foods over salads any day.

This laissez faire attitude towards being healthy and staying in shape will continue no more.  So after much research I have decided to take part in the following:

I am going to start the first 3 challenges today, and the running challenge when the weather clears enough for me to run without slipping on the ice. Each challenge is designed to be completed in 6 weeks, but since I’m doing them all at once I am going to make it 12 weeks, and repeat each week’s schedule twice.

The situps and squat challenge will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The Pushup challenge will take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

The 5k challenge will take place on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays (weather permitting)

I will update on my progress every week, or every other week. Fitness here I come!!!

I Hate Snow…

Unless it cancels school, I hate snow. Shoveling 24 inches of snow a few weeks ago wasn’t fun, and I’m almost certain it’s not going to be fun this time around either. Unfortunately, even after 14 inches last weekend, my school was still in session. And I was beyond pissed. You know why? Because my school happened to be the ONLY school within a fifty mile radius that was still in session. Yup, all the other elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, AND COLLEGES were closed but mine.

Belize was a nice reprieve from the horrible winter weather (and to me all winter weather is horrible, I’m just saying). But right before I left for Belize I got to experience Snowpocalypse 1. And and just now I’m in the middle of snowpocalypse 2. When will this torture end???

As I stated before in between the two blizzards there was a 14 inch snow storm last weekend. And even though I went outside and enjoyed myself (or rather watched other people enjoy themselves while I complained from a safe distance)…

…I refuse to have frostbitten toes again. I refuse to go on a 2 mile hike for food, I now have enough food to last me throughout the weekend, and most importantly, I am NOT going outside.

This place will always hold a special place in my heart. You better Belize it!

Nope, this is not a picture post (don’t have time for that). But there was an earthquake soon after we left. All these earthquakes are a little too close for comfort. I think I’m officially ready to go back to school.
