I would also like to mention!!

Nike outlet store! Look for one near you and go to the clearance section there. The shorts I got were marked down to $10, and on top of that all clearance is 40% off.They had shorts, jackets, shirts, pants, the only thing I didn’t see was shoes.
For anyone living in Colorado, there’s one at the Colorado Mills Mall. Get there!

I would also like to mention!!
I got 3 new pairs of running shorts and a new running jacket for only $40 yesterday! Yea, you can’t beat that.
A whirlwind of things!
I have been so busy working I have not had a moment to get on.
School is awesome. Work is awesome, I only wish my hours were different.
Today I went into class to hear “Today you are designing a training program for someone that wants to do a 5K, 10K, or marathon. You pick!” This was all too easy seeing as I’m 12 weeks away from a half marathon! It baffled me to see so many...
Having a hard time.
I got the job at Denver’s Rape Assistance and Awareness Program, but I feel like it’s draining the life out of me.
I have no time to do anything with this job.
I get up at 4, take care of what I need to, be out the door by 7 to get to class. I get out of classes at 12:30 and head straight to work. Work starts at 2 and doesn’t end until 10. I don’t get home until midnight....
My calves are so tight...
Did the Bruce Subumaximal Treadmill test today, I actually lasted pretty long. I want to be able to finish the entire test, though. My HR peaked the last minute of stage 3 at a 14% incline. Not bad considering, but by the end of this I will finish!
Also, my interview with Denver’s Rape Assistance and Awareness program went well. I go in Monday to shadow.
Assuming I get this job I am going...
Rather ashamed of how much I’ve eaten today. Pretty disgusting - at least I feel that way. Lesson learned I suppose. Tomorrow is a new day.
I have to read “Catching Fire” tonight and study for midterms tomorrow.
Typing up a worksheet!
We get to give a Bruce Submaximal Treadmill test tomorrow as well as take one. I’m a bit nervous about that. Haha. Large incline. Very, very, large incline.
Oh clothes, how I love you so.
I needed to buy decent clothes for interviews and job hunting and guess what! I fit in a size 8 pair of slacks and they look mighty fine!
Seeing as I started around a size 15 almost, that is DAMN good!
The size 7 jeans in my closet that have been taunting me for so long will be mine soon. Half my original size. Crazy to think about. Wicked crazy motivation though!
Which reminds me, Colfax...
Finally.
I’m not sick anymore :) I lost a bit of weight last week since I couldn’t eat, but I have a feeling it was mostly water weight. Today is a new day. I’m not sick. I can get shit done! I missed 3 days of class last week (in my defense one was a snow day)!
Had two eggs and toast for breakfast. Packed salad and a protein bar for lunch. And now I’m off to class. Time to get...
Anonymous asked: I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but were you sexually assaulted?
I'm still sick as crap :(
I’ve lost 5 pounds so far this week because I can’t eat and when I do I can’t hold it down :/ Ick. I can barely even get liquids down, this really sucks. On top of that I haven’t been to school two days this week, I need to go tomorrow.
On the plus side? I have an interview with Denver’s Rape Assistance and Awareness Program tomorrow. I’m actually pretty...
After a bad weekend I decided Monday I would get...
I even started recording food again to make sure I hit my calorie and protein goals.
It was going amazing and I was doing what I need to then BAM! My mother gave me the worst bug ever -.-
I can not hold down food, if I try to eat it comes back up with a horrid amount of stomach acid that burns my throat and mouth for what feels like hours. I’m super bloated. I can feel the amount of acid...

Boom goes the dynamite.
My mom just got fired. Which means I’m out of a job too.
Now neither of my parents are working.
And I’m probably going to have to drop out of school.
Just when things got good?
You really think I'm going to eat fried chicken?...
My mom lost her mind. Ick.
Imma go steam some vegetables or something.

Be jealous!
Worked with clients today!
Wednesday is a hands on day where we get to work with clients from the community. I shadowed an older student and we worked with a woman in her 60s.
I really liked the hands on stuff today. She has arthritis, knee pain, and back pain, so we did a really basic workout. We had her warm up on the treadmill with a light walk followed by arm circles front and back. We put a light resistance band...
Today was cool.
We were learning how to take heart rates and blood pressure. We took them resting. Had to break off into two groups. As a group we came up with a 5 minute warm up, 15 minute work out, and 5 minute cool down. Half of each split group had to be the ‘trainer’ then the other half the ‘client.’
For 15 minutes out workout was brutal, we did circuits. There were 5 stations, you...
I R smaRt.
So, I have no clue what I was thinking this morning. I sprung to life at 5:30 instead of my alarm waking me at 6:00. I got ready and left, but realized I missed the bus and started freaking out because I thought I was going to be late. I looked at my watch “7:23,” what the hell. I left an hour earlier than I actually had to. I didn’t want to walk back home because it was really...
First day of classes guys!!!
Wish me luck :) I’m wearing my favorite pair of running shorts.
Pretty much just had the most amazing day ever.
I went with my boyfriend, his sister, and her boyfriend to the National Stock Show. Aubs and I went home to play some games and relax. We ended up seeing the new Underworld (GO SEE IT!) then going to a hookah bar with some of his friends. I love the relationship we have, it’s probably the best I’ve been in.
He also gave me the biggest compliment and self confidence boost ever. We were...
Almost puked during my run! Tis a job well done.
I was planning on a long run to City Park today, I’ve literally been dreaming of doing so. No such luck.
Not even before a mile elapsed I had really sharp ankle pain. Yay! The joys of having screwed your ankle up, the pain doesn’t ever go away. I didn’t want to suffer an entire run and hurt it more so I improvised.
Mile 1: Pure run; 8:29, best mile since recovering from all my...

Just a few things!
1) I don’t have to work at all this weekend :D! I actually get a weekend to myself to start some trouble. Hell yes!
2) Next Saturday or Sunday I want to get up early and either go on a hike or go running on a trail of some kind. I’ve wanted to for awhile and now that the weather is better I’m dying to.
3) Today I’m running to city park, no excuses. I got horribly lost...
