Weights 4/27
One more day of this, if I can squeeze it in Monday or Tuesday. I’m so happy I did and followed through with this.
First I warmed up with 2 sets of leg lifts. 10 to each side, hold for 10 on the last, then 25 forward lifts (sorry I don’t know the technical names!)
I got the rest of my workout from http://www.howsweeteats.com/

Weights 4/25
So what did I learn today? Doing weights is DEFINITELY a late afternoon/early evening activity. This was so hard at 8 in the morning.
First I warmed up with 2 sets of leg lifts. 10 to each side, hold for 10 on the last, then 25 forward lifts (sorry I don’t know the technical names!)

Weights 4/20
I’m so glad I’m keeping up with this. I’m actually noticing a difference already. Today, I got my roommate to come and do this with me!

Same as always. I’m upping the amount of weight every time, which is great.

Weights 4/13
Same again. Two things. One, 9pm is prime time big beefy dude lifting time at my gym. I was the ONLY female on the weights side, and there were A LOT of dudes. Intimidating, but I just told myself they were impressed that a girl was lifting.
Two, I’m starting to remember how much I love weight training. Before I started running, I loved strength and HATED cardio. Like, HATED. 10 minutes...
Weights 4/10
Same work out as Wednesday, but I increased some of the weights.

Weights 4/6
Since this is the last month I’ll have access to a gym and weights for awhile, I made it a goal this month to do weights (mostly arms) every Sunday or Monday and Wednesday. I’ve been focusing too much on running and really need to work on upper body strength. I missed the first day due to not being in Louisville/illness, so I’ll make it up the first time in May. I’m going...

Today we went to the Townships, which is where the poorest of the poor live. We first went to the township of Langa. It seemed pretty dangerous when we first drove into the township and picked up our tour guide as well as our police escort. We got out of the bus and went into a youth hostel. The…

I hope the title gets your attention. You answered a question of mine on this a really long time ago, and I didn’t see it, either because I was too lazy to get back on, or I’m too inept at this website. Regardless, I appreciate your answer. So basic point of this post: Thanks for the answer, sorry I didn’t respond back.
Haha, it’s cool :) You’re welcome.
I want nothing more than to go on a huge shopping spree right now. Too bad I’m poor until January.

so, yeah, pretty happy that this exists. i wish it were longer.
on a sadder note, i can’t go to cincy warped :( i’m poor + i have to work that day. first time i’m not going in 7 years. at least i made it out to indy.
So I’ve been neglecting this this since I got back from Ecuador because I felt obligated to make my first post back about my trip, but just couldn’t sum everything up in one blog post and so I just didn’t say anything. But I have other things I want to talk about so I’m just gonna get over it. If you want to know stories, come hang out with me and I’ll talk through...

In 24 hours I will (hopefully) be safely in my hostel in Quito. I want to just fast forward through to that time. I’m nervous about the traveling part. First time traveling completely alone.
Excited, nervous, anxious, curious, exhausted, sad, happy, stressed
Wish me luck! I’ll be home July 2nd.
If i don’t see the sun soon, i think i’ll lose it. how many more days till ecuador?
There are many reasons why I can’t wait for my trip to Ecuador. But pretty high up there is that once it starts, I won’t have to plan for it anymore. I can’t even begin to explain how much work it has been getting this thing together. From advising appointments to scholarship applications to booking flights and lodging to preparatory course work to modifications to make a class...
So excited to go to Louisville tomorrow :)

Most of the getting ready to study abroad activities aren’t too bad. Sure, they may be tedious, but there’s a little glimmer of excitement with them, even if it is making 5 advising appointments within two days. However, there was one part that was going to suck, no matter what. Vaccinations. And that’s what I took care of today. One hour, four shots, two prescriptions, some...
By FAR, my favorite part of being home is the food. Fruits, veggies, nuts! No Subway!? This is madness! And after spending my whole second semester reading Your Nutritionista and Shedding It, I couldn’t wait to try eating new and healthier things!
For breakfast, I had cooked oats with bananas, strawberries, cinnamon, almonds, and chocolate chips. Then I drank a Florence blend tea...

until I’m finished with my first year of college. I’ll reminisce in a future post. I’m going to use this one to talk about the INSANE AMOUNT OF STUDYING I have to do over the next week. Those three finals? Yeah, massive. First, political science, Monday afternoon. 150 multiple choice questions,…

Triathlon of finals begins tomorrow.
I can’t wait to curl up with good books and good tunes by my pool this summer. my brain needs a rest.
Three more finals

Six exams, one paper, one homework, two scholarships, three thank you notes, one morning of community service, one job application, and one proposal left until i get to rest and relax for almost a month. then it’s off to ecuador!
I can see the light at the end of the end of the semester tunnel.
My thighs are going to hurt so bad tomorrow. But I’m totally ok with it. They are being very uncooperative in this whole toning thing, and they need to shape up (pun intended)!
25 minutes on the elliptical
10 forward lunges right side, 10 forward left side
10 side lunges right, 10 side left
10 squats of the pattern squat, right leg lift to side, squat, left leg lift to side (for outer...
In the next three weeks, I must:
-write two papers, one at least 10 pages, one 6-9. I have good starts on both, but man do they need editing.
-take 6 finals. luckily, only one is cumulative. still, that’s a lot of tests.
-finish up all the readings for all my classes
-fill out four scholarship applications
-attend and do write ups on 5 extra credit activities, and also do an extra...
It is 85 degrees in my dorm right now. i can’t open the window because my allergies are killer. this is miserable
These next three weeks are going to be hell. Wish me luck.
I know better than to look up shoes online when I have no money.
want.
also want.
Oh payless…
If I’m going to make it through college, I really need to get more efficient at writing papers.
