celebratingorselfmedicating replied to your post: Something to look forward to
omg, I wish I could help with the taste-testing! lol!
I’m always looking for taste testers! haha I actually have an agreement with my housemate where I’ll let him eat some of whatever I make as long as he promises to tell me the absolute truth on how it tastes. We both think it’s a win-win. =D
Something to look forward to
Later today I am going to have “The Battle of the Doughs”. Basically I am going to take the clean pizza crust and the clean pie crust dough and make various empanada/pasty type things and bake them to see which one comes out the tastiest.
My life is super exciting.

Zombies, Run! App Review
Tonight on my 3.5 mile run I tested out the new Zombies, Run! app. Currently is is pre-released for iOS only but soon it will be available to download for both iOS and Android phones.
Let me start of first by saying that it was dumb of me to do this at night. My imagination gets the best of me sometimes so when I put my headphones in and started listening to the story I was in it. When my...
Just Kidding
So I said that my wicked sore throat wasn’t going to stop me from working out but then I took my temperature. 100.3 degrees. CRAP. If I was a normal person I wouldn’t care, but I almost died from H1N1 and they told me after that if I ever got a fever I should quarantine myself because I’d basically become a walking contagion. Fantastic.
I’m going to take Tylenol, drink...

Woke up this morning with a wicked sore throat
And an achy body. Guess what that’s not going to stop me from doing later. Running 2 miles and deadlifting.
Oh hey, guess who just got hired as a swim...
MEEEEE!
I go in for my drug test on Friday and then training starts next week!

Reconstituted Lemon Juice
Okay so the ingredients for this are lemon juice from concentrate (filtered water, lemon juice concentrate), sodium bisulfite and sodium benzoate as preservatives, natural lemon oil.
I found out that they take all the water out of the lemon juice to ship easier then add the water back later along with a bunch of preservatives.
I’m just going to put it in the trash and pretend like this...

pls be my wife
Okay. =)
I went to the pole dancing studio!
But the class was full so I signed up for the Wednesday 10am class. Oh, and the instructor lady was ripped. She looked like a Crossfit competitor - super low body fat, tons of tattoos and straight up muscle.
I’m a little bit more scared now.
Serious Question
How does reconstituted lemon juice have zero calories and zero carbs? What exactly am I putting in my tea??

Good morning!
I’m on my way to the race venue at this ungodly hour!
Steelman 5k here we go!
I never understood people who gained back weight...
Until now. Now I get it.
This is a long post with a lot of personal problems written so I’m going to put it after a break. But if you do decide to read it, please read it all the way to the end. The end is the most important part.
When you are overweight you associate most of your unhappiness with the fat. If you can just get rid of that fat and be healthy and look attractive all of your...

"No Running!"
Well, my interview today went absolutely fantastic. All I have to do is pass a swim test, a lifeguarding test and a background check and I’m in! I’m so excited! They would do the WSI certification for free so I would get to do swim lessons as well as the usual lifeguarding, which is stellar news because it’s a .25 cent pay increase for normal hours as well as $15 an hour for...
Spread Love!
I walked into the office of my department this morning and said hi to the old lady who is the receptionist there. We wished each other a happy Valentine’s Day and she said, “Yep, I decided to wear red today [pointing at her shirt] even though I’m nobody’s valentine.” I reached into my bag and pulled out an extra bag of conversation hearts I had and told her she could...

I worked out today
Check it on Fitocracy right hurr.
I front squatted today because Evan forgot about me yesterday and I wanted to get some squats in anyway. I’m also going to research military press form because I feel like I’m doing it wrong.
Then I ran in the freezing cold rain. Literally as soon as I walked out the door it started raining but I knew if I went back inside I’d never come out...
Tonight I faced a problem I've never had to face...
I liked a dress but I couldn’t find it in a size small enough to fit me.
Hellooooo size 10!

"Do something that scares you"
One of my 2012 goals was to do at least one thing a month that scares me. Last month it was playing co-ed dodgeball and for February I bring you this:
Pole dancing. I just bought 5 classes at the local pole fitness studio on Groupon. Not going to lie, this both terrifies and excites me. I was just talking with my housemate last night about how I’ve always wanted to see a real pole dance...
Ow
Today I’m helping my friend, Steph, move and I keep beating myself up. I am so used to carrying everything on my hips but now the bone sticks out so when I instinctively go to put something heavy there I end up smashing it into my bone. 0_0
On a positive note, Alex reached out and grabbed my arm and asked me to flex. Then he cried about how my biceps are so much bigger. Heh. Boys.
