<em>(Sorry, I couldn't help myself...)</em><br />
<br />
I went to the gym yesterday and did 20 minutes on one of the elipticals.<br />
<strong>1.75 miles and 282 calories.</strong><br />
Not too bad!<br />
Better then sitting on the couch, right?<br />

<br />
But here goes try #221853 (<em>slight </em>exaggeration):<br />
<br />
<strong>WOW</strong>. It's been a while. <br />
Let's see... what's new with this girl?<br />
<br />
For starters, I graduated college! <br />
Finally. After 5 years. But, hey, I finished!<br />
<em>B.S. in Family & Child Development with minors in Psychology and Sociology.</em><br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-meRzbPJVe8w/UazvdJZBSCI/AAAAAAAAAL4/Cdq1Cv_ot70/s320/973471_10151418398203202_1237459623_n.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I just got back from visiting my family in Maine.<br />
They're precious!<br />
<strong>Love, love, love them.</strong><br />
Oh, and my whole family is trying to eat vegan now.<br />
Especially my sister who is rockin' the vegan lifestyle.<br />
You can check out her blog here ---> <a href="http://veganproblems.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Vegan Problems</strong></a><br />
<br />
And last but not least, I started dating someone!<br />
Amazing, right? Considering I was approaching border-line-nun status...<br />
But anywho...<br />
He's great, funny, and a sweetie.<br />
Oh, and he's joining the Marines...<br />
Extra motivation to look good?<strong> Yeah, I would say so</strong>.<br />
(<em>Maybe if you're lucky, I'll post a pic one day</em>) :)<br />
<br />
That's about all that's new in the life of this girl.<br />
So... back to the weightloss efforts.<br />
I started using My Fitness Pal again.<br />
It's basically a cheaper version of a wanna-be Weight Watchers...<br />
You keep track of what you eat, and stop when you hit your calories for the day.<br />
Knowing that the Boo is heading off to boot camp soon, makes me want to look extra hott for when he comes home.<br />
<strong>So it's time to get to work!</strong><br />
<br />

Can anyone relate?! I'm sorry about disappearing on you guys... I promise I didn't die. What have I been up to?<br />
<br />
Well, for starters, the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>3 day military diet</b></span> did not work out. Roomie and I made it until the 2nd night before we both caved. Our energy was completely gone, we were both getting grumpy and the thought of eating another piece of toast made us gag. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Spring break</b></span> came and was spent in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was lovely! <i>Broadway on the Beach, </i><u>Margaritaville</u>,<b> 9th floor hotel room right on the beach</b>... it was good, my friends. Very good.<br />
<br />
My <span style="font-size: large;"><b>online classes</b></span> finished about a week ago, leaving me with only one class standing between myself and graduation! May 11th is going to be here so soon. I am <i>slightly</i> freaking out. <br />
<br />
Even though life has been totally crazy, I have been really persistant with my workouts! <br />
<br />
.......And that is the <span style="font-size: x-large;">biggest</span> lie on the planet. I have slacked. <b>BIG TIME. </b><br />
<br />
Why is this so hard? Why can't I be good at working out and make it a habit and want to go consistantly?!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>XOXO,</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Victoria </b> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Has anyone heard of the 3 Day Military Diet?!</span><br />
<br />
This is a 3 days on, 4 days off deal. It promises results<i> (don't they all...)</i> so my roommate and I figured<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b> why the heck not</b></i><i><b>?</b></i></span> So for the next three days, we will be eating the follow:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Day 1 </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>[ Drink lots of water and tea is allowed]</i></span><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast:</b> 1/2 grapefruit, 1 whole wheat toast, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and tea<br />
<b>Lunch:</b> 1/2 cup of tuna, 1 toast and tea<br />
<b>Dinner:</b> 3 oz. of meat (we chose oven-roasted turkey), 1 cup of green beans, 1/2 banana, 1 small apple and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream<br />
<br />
[ side note: What kind of diet lets you eat ice cream?! Apparently this one does and it made my little fatty heart be filled with joy! ]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Day 2 </b></span><i><span style="font-size: large;">[Drink only water!]</span></i><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast:</b> 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 whole wheat toast and 1/2 banana<br />
<b>Lunch: </b>1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 hard-boiled egg and 5 saltine crackers<br />
<b>Dinner:</b> 2 hot dogs, 1 cup of broccoli, 1/2 cup of carrots, 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Day 3</b></span> <i><span style="font-size: large;">[ Drink only water!]</span></i><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast: </b>5 saltine crackers, 1 slice of cheddar cheese and 1 small apple<br />
<b>Lunch:</b> 1 hard-boiled egg and 1 whole wheat toast<br />
<b>Dinner: </b>1 cup of tuna, 1/2 banana and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream<br />
<br />
So there it is, folks. If I die from hunger before the end of three days, just know I love you all.<i> (JK, but seriously...)</i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Has anyone else tried it? </span><br />
Stay posted for updates these next three days!<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>

The last time was exactly a month ago - February 1.<br />
At that point, I had lost 6 pounds. <b>YAY!</b><br />
<br />
But during the month of February, I really did not feel like I had been doing as well.<br />
Not exercising much.<br />
Not eating super healthy (not eating terrible, but just not as careful as I had been).<br />
<br />
So I just put off stepping on that horrible invention called a scale.<br />
<i>But really... who invented that? </i><br />
<br />
This morning, I was putting on a pair of dress pants and noticed that they seemed a little lose.<br />
At first, I was super happy but then told myself they were probably just stretched out.<br />
I debated a few minutes, then finally grabbed the scale.<br />
And.... And... And...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">ANOTHER <b>6 POUNDS </b>GONE!!!</span><br />
<br />
<i>Overjoyed. Elated. Shocked. </i><br /><br />Those describe me now.<br />
<br />
Even though I haven't been making huge changes like I did in January, this just goes to show that little changes can make a big difference.<br />
<br />
So today,<span style="font-size: large;"><b> use the stairs</b></span> instead of the elevator.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Drink water </b></span>instead of coffee. (Hard, I know.)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Be good to yourself. </i></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>XOXO,</b></span><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Can someone tell me why I haven't been hungry for 3 days now??</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
And when I do eat, I feel wicked sick. <br />
<br />
This is bad news for a girl who loves food.<em> (Or is it actually good news? Hmmm...)</em><br />
<br />
Maybe I'm stressed, or anxious, or just plan tired of "college" food. <br />
<br />
Sooo.... <strong>drumroll please</strong>.... I decided to look on Pinterest for some yummy recipes!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Here are the ones that peaked my interest...</strong></span> <strong><em>(Has anyone tried them?)</em></strong><br />

<b>Has anyone seen this TV show???</b><br />
<br />
I just started watching it on Netflix. All my coworkers (well, the girls that is...) absolutely love it.<br />
<br />
I'm talking bawling like a baby during break because of this show. So...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What do you guys think? Have you ever seen it??</b> </span><br />
<br />
Leave a comment and let me know, because I'm going to be busy for the rest of the weekend watching Parenthood reruns (<i>I have a stack of tissues ready juuuust in case</i>). :)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">XOXO,</span></b><br />

I've only been to the gym 2 times (maybeeeee 3 times, but I think that's wishful thinking) in the last week and a half.<br />
I <b>can not</b> fall back into being unhealthy.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I won't do it.</span><br />
<br />
Trips up to visit by sister in PA and Valentine's Day candy <i>(darn you, chocolate)</i> have been two of the main causes I think.<br />
But, now that the holidays are over and I have no more money for gas, I am stuck here in VA for a while.<br />
Which means, I am less than 5 minutes from the gym again!<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>No excuses.</b></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Goals for this week:</b></span><br />
1) Drink only water.<br />
2) Work out at least 4 times this week.<br />
3) Not eat anything chocolate related.<br />
<br />
Here's a little motivation for you lovely people today... let me know what your workout consists of today!<br />

<br />
Well, actually it was great. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Girls night, date with the housemates, Super bowl goodies...</span> <br />
<br />
But oh-so-bad for my "get healthy 2013" lifestyle that I have been working on.<br />
<br />
Do you know how many calories were included in those three events alone???<br />
<br />
Neither do I...but I do know that it was probably atleast<strong> double</strong> what I have been eating.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not. even. exaggerating. </span><br />
<br />
I'm trying really hard not to beat myself up over it. <br />
<br />
<em>(Oh, and did I mention that I went to the gym a grand total of 0 times this weekend?)</em><br />
<br />
Everyone has slip-ups and eats that one extra piece of pizza right? <br />
<br />
<strong>It's all about holding fast to the goal.</strong><br />
<br />
And the goal for this girl can only be acheived by...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">visits to the gym...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">healthy eating...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and lots and lots of water.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><em>So here we go!</em> </strong><br />
<br />
Who else has to hit it hard after this weekend?! What are your plans to get back on track?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">XOXO,</span><br />

</ol>
<br />
<b>11 Questions that Charlie asked me</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><i>How did you come up with the name of your blog?</i> <br /><br />I had seen it on a website (probably Pinterest or Tumblr) and fell in love with it! Eating clean and training dirty is truely the best way to lose weight. Screw all those fad diets.</li>
<li><i>How much time do you dedicate to your blog per week?</i> <br /><br />Honestly, it all depends. I aim to update it at least once a week with a weigh-in, but I usually end up writing a blog post about two or three times each week. <br /><i><br /></i></li>
<li><i>What is your favorite color and thing that you own of that color?</i> <br /><br />I love the color<b style="color: blue;"> blue</b>! All shades are gorgeous. And my favorite thing that is blue? This baby...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2yx4GogEV2Q/UQ7LlBRmhnI/AAAAAAAAAKI/OgemUn55CDQ/s1600/574499_4455290019907_1933293286_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2yx4GogEV2Q/UQ7LlBRmhnI/AAAAAAAAAKI/OgemUn55CDQ/s320/574499_4455290019907_1933293286_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></li>
<li><i>Do you perfer high heels, flats, or shoes you exercise in? </i>Flats... no competition.<br /></li>
<li><i>What did you eat for dinner last night? </i><br /><br />My housemate made Chicken Enchiladas and they were delish!<br /></li>
<li><i>Who are your three best friends? </i><br /><br />Ugh, I hate this question because I feel like I always have to leave someone out. I have so many fabulous friends, but if I had to narrow it down to only three, I would go with Jessica (my sister), Emily (my old roommate) and Brielle (my current roommate).<br /></li>
<li><i>What brand of shampoo and conditioner do you use?</i> <br /><br />(Disclaimer: I am a broke college student) Suave. <br /></li>
<li><i>Did you go to prom and if so, what did you wear?</i> <br /><br />Sadly, I did not go to prom. I was homeschooled. :(<br /></li>
<li><i>Who is your style icon? </i><br /><br />Hmm, I don't really have one. Can a store count as a style icon? If it can, then it would definitely be <a href="http://www.maurices.com/" target="_blank">Maurice's</a>. Everything they have is so cute!<br /></li>
<li><i>If you were at Starbucks, what would you order? </i><br /><br />A grande peppermint mocha!<br /></li>
<li><i>Where is your number one pick of vacation (if money was not a factor)?</i> <br /><br />Paris! The day that I get to see the Eiffel Tower will be one of the most exciting days of my life!!</li>

<br />
Anddddd..... <b>2 more pounds lost!!!</b><br />

Not as much as I would like, but hey! That's a total for 4 pounds less than I started with. And to be honest, I am actually really proud. :)<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.frommygreydeskblog.com/2012/01/high-five-for-friday-button.html"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd361/lauren_FMGD/H54Fbutton.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br />
1) <b>I've worked out every single day</b>! Well, except one day because of cramps. That's not an excuse but a legit reason. Ask any woman. Those things can be killer.<br />
<br />
2) <b>I had my first residential class of the semester this week</b>! It's all about the stressers that face families today - traditional families, military families, homosexual families, any type of family you can think of. I'm excited for it!<br />
<br />
3) I gathered up some of my girls on Wednesday night and<b> we all went to a zumba class</b>! Definitely not my natural talent, but it was definitely fun. :)<br />
<br />
4) Monday night was the (hopefully) traditional "<b>Bachelor Girl's Night</b>"! I know, I know. It sounds weird. So what is this lovely event? To put it simply - pile as many girl friends into our living room as possible and <i>ooh</i> and <i>ahh</i> over Sean Lowe's gorgeous shirtless body on the Bachelor. Now you want to join, don't ya? ;)<br />
<br />
5) <b>It's snowing!!! </b>Some people would disagree, but I think snow is definitely worth a spot in "high five". This Northern girl living in a southern state is quite content! <br />
<br />
Over all, my week was been good but rather uneventful. I'll try to make next weeks better. :)<br />
<br />
<b>How was your week??</b><br />
<br />
XOXO,<br />

They look great in yoga pants and a t-shirt! <br />
And then there are those who wear their hair down and 5 pounds of makeup on their face...<br />
Uh, yeah, one word... FAKE.<br />
No one looks that good if they are actually working out hard.<br />
Sorry not sorry...<br />
<br />
Anyways, what's the point of this blog post?<br />
The point is that I am most definitely, 110%, no doubt in my mind, completely opposite of those girls.<br />
Today I went to my first spin class.<br />
Oh. Em. Geeeeee.<br />
<br />
Sweat was literally dripping off my face.<br />
Some of my toes were numb. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Can anyone tell me why?)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">And the <b>WORST</b> part of all.... my butt kills.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I seriously think it might be bruised.</span></span><br />
<br />
It was by far the hardest hour that I have been through in a long time.<br />
But even through the sweat, numbness, and butt-bruises (glamorous, huh?)...<br />
<b>It felt good.</b><br />
It felt good (and embarrassing, but mostly good) to be one of the biggest girls in the class but still keeping up pretty darn well with everyone.<br />
It felt good to finish out the hour when I was positive I wouldn't make it the whole time when I started.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Be good to yourself.</span><br />

The excuses keep trying to come back.<br />
<br />
"But you've worked all day! Just rest."<br />
"Skipping one day won't matter."<br />
"There probably isn't even a good parking place at the gym right now."<br />
"It's probably over crowded."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>No. More. Excuses.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So here I am. Changed into my workout clothes, about to hop in the car and drive to the gym.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Need some motivation? Here you go! (You can thank me later.) ;)</span><br />

Believe or not, that's a big deal for this chick.<br />
It's actually getting to the point where I look forward to going.<br />
I want the challenge.<br />
I like getting all sweaty and pushing myself go further and harder.<br />
<br />
If this chubby girl can do it, you definitely can.<br />
I don't care what your weight is.<br />
What your age is.<br />
Whether or not you've ever exercised in your life.<br />
<b>PUSH YOURSELF!</b><br />
<br />
When you've been on that elliptical for ten minutes and you want to stop...<br />
Make yourself go until the timer says eleven minutes.<br />
And then once it hits eleven minutes, guess what....<br />
Make yourself go twelve minutes!<br />
<b>It's all about the baby steps!</b><br />
If you don't want to go by minutes, go by calories.<br />
I make myself burn atleast 350 and then push myself til it reads<b> 400</b>.<br />
<br />
On another note, today was the first day of my semester.<br />
I had to go to my internship and work.<br />
It was kind of a taste of the "real world".<br />
I liked it!!<br />
<br />
After my internship and work, I met my housemate at the gym and then we went grocery shopping for healthy foooood.... (never go shopping on an empty stomach, for reals). I bought:<br />
<br />
Fruit. Lots and lots of fruit.<br />
Greek Yogurt.<br />
Oatmeal.<br />
Lean frozen dinners.<br />
<br />
<b>What are your favorite healthy foods??</b><br />
<br />
XOXO,<br />

I did it in my bedroom and was going to just call that my work out for the day. Then I had a friend text me and say she was going to the gym and asked if I wanted to join. How could I pass that up? I did 20 minutes on the eliptical and then abs for about 15 minutes.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055370327437870193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785816322072278777.post-91811828289816257822013-01-04T09:16:00.001-08:002013-01-04T09:20:59.138-08:00Airports & Free WiFiCan I just say what a blessing straight from Jesus it is to have free wifi during layovers?! Sorry about my disappearance from the blog world! The last few days, I have been packing, spending time with family and traveling. I am currently at the Charlotte airport waiting for my final connecting flight back to school.<br />
<br />
The past few days of craziness have reminded me how easy it is to become distracted from what is important. I haven't been having quiet times, haven't been exercising, haven't been eating healthy... Gosh. But that IS going to change. And I am honestly so excited about it!<br />
<br />
I land back in my college town around 2pm today and I'm actually thinking of hitting the gym later tonight! If I can do it after waking up at 3am and riding on three airplanes, then you definitely can. Now get out there! Here's a little inspiration for you...<br />

Why? Because no one ever holds to them. I've tried before and I do great for the first week. Then I slowly forget about them or just don't care.<br />
<br />
But for 2013, I want to make resolutions that I will actually stick too. Nothing crazy. Doable things. So here they are. I'm putting them on my blog so that <a href="http://likealonggoodbye.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sarah</a> and the rest of you awesome bloggers out there can hold me accountable!<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Get stronger in my Spiritual life. </b>This includes going to church every Sunday morning and spending time daily doing devotions.</li>
<li><b>Work out at least 5 times a week for a minimum of 45 minutes.</b> At least 30 minutes of that time needs to be cardio. </li>
<li><b>Drink water! </b>Drink 10 glasses of water daily and limit soda/sweet tea to one day a week.</li>
<li><b>Be able to fit comfortably in a size 12. </b>This may sound silly but I would be out of my mind with happiness! </li>
<li><b>Complete the <a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml" target="_blank">C25K running plan.</a></b> I did a 10k back in 2009 after I lost a lot of weight the first time. It was haaard, but I finished!!</li>
<li><b>Run in a race! </b>Once I finish the 5k running plan, I want to actually do a 5k. The first and only time I did a race, I switched between walking and running. This time I want to run and not stop even if I have to go slow! </li>
</ol>
<br />
XOXO,<br />
