2012 Goals
1. Finish the Disneyland Half marathon.
2. Do at least one thing that scares me every month.
3. Stop my damn cussing. This one is going to be hard. I may have to implement a punishment. 10 push-ups each? Also, damn and ass are in the Bible so I’m pretty sure those ones shouldn’t count.
4. Surf a legit wave. And when I say legit I mean no baby waves, no one pushing the board...

In the kitchen with a bowl of Lucky Charms
Grams: You're going to have to starve yourself when you get back home.
Me: What?
Grams: You're going to have to starve yourself.
Me: Why?
Grams: Because you're eating things you aren't supposed to.
Me: Oh, but it fits in my macros. I've actually lost two and a half pounds this past week.
Grams: Really??
Also
Folger’s hazelnut coffee + vanilla protein = rainbows and unicorns in my mouth.
Today's (yesterday's?) workout
1.5 mile run
Pushing my Grams in a wheel chair through SeaWorld all day
I’m exhausted. SeaWorld was packed with people and I almost took a few of them out with my Grams’ wheelchair. People just have no damn sense, all walking willy nilly, cutting in front of a moving wheelchair. No sense.
My Grams wanted to walk but she knew that she wouldn’t be able to keep up so she asked...

So you remember how I jokingly said I was going to...
I think he may have sent me one. His packaging says “Friend” but I’m pretty sure when I open the box I’ll find a good man in there.
Now I’m just waiting to see if I get the cure for DOMS too. =]
Edit: for those of us just tuning in, I’m referring to this post.

Happy Christmas Eve!
I wanted to go for a run tonight but that is so not happening. My entire body is sore from the 12 Days of Christmas WOD. I can complete a dang triathlon but 35 minutes in the box and I’m walking like a 90-year-old.

Size 10!
I went to American Eagle and tried on some size 10 jeans and they fit perfect! But only in the waist. My thighs were trying their damnedest to get out so they could breathe. I didn’t have time today but next time I go I’ll try a different cut and see if they fit better.

Christmas music on
I’m making the chicken and my mom is making the Special K Roast for dinner and then later we are trimming the tree!
Confession
The past four days I’ve done nothing but watch Buffy and eat all the things. My excuse was that I couldn’t grocery shop because I was leaving for 16 days and wouldn’t be able to eat it all.
But today I flew home to a house packed full of good food, thanks to Dad’s new diagnoses of diabetes, so I have no more excuses.
It is really good to be home.

Dear Hip Hop,
I love you.
-Danielle
Tonight was fun! I was lost for some parts because there was a lot of popping with the arms and I’ve never danced like that. Salsa is all about fluid movements and hip hop is about jerky, tight movements. But the instructor said I did really well for my first time. I think I might have found my new extracurricular activity! You know, in addition to the tri training,...
Seize the Day? Right?
Yesterday I took the cliche advice that inspiration blogs like to throw around and I called a dance studio. I’ve always wanted to learn how to hip-hop dance but I was afraid because the only dancing I’ve ever done is salsa and line dancing which are nothing like hip-hop and I didn’t want to be a grown ass woman in a class full of 7-year-olds. Well, I found a young adult class at...

I’ve decided that I’m going to actively try and lose some body fat. I haven’t really been interested in legitimately trying to lose weight in a while. I’ve mainly just been focusing on getting stronger and training for the tri.
But now I’m ready again. This time I’m saying forget you! to myfitnesspals recommend daily intake and I’m using The Spartan...

Going to take my last final!
Then it is $2 Tuesday at the skating rink!
I’m also thinking about hitting the gym since I won’t be able to lift all winter break long but we’ll see what happens. I may end up doing some body weight stuff at home.

So awesome! You have inspired me to give my first Tri a crack next year sometime.
Go for it! You’ll rock it!
And this reminds me, today my friend was inspired by my triathlon and decided to start running. Literally, that day. She is now on day two of C25K! She asked if I would do a 5k with her in...

Help!
Okay people, I need you.
Tell me everything I need to know for my first triathlon. I have no idea what to expect and reading articles isn’t helping because they are all like telling me to use elastic shoe laces and stuff. Which I don’t think I’ll need because I’ll just be untying my shoes since this is a reverse triathlon. I need real first hand knowledge.
What do I do...

Off Day
I am having a bad day. This morning when I looked in the mirror instead of seeing my usual sexy self I saw fat. Lots and lots of fat. But it was okay because I didn’t have class today so I was going to workout for two hours and I was so stoked about it. Then mid walk my mom called and gave me some news that I didn’t take very well. I tried running. Failed. I tried benching. Failed. I...
