went for run and drank water
sat at computer typing in my numbers
125.0 weight prior to my shower

update

I just made a costcoe order of pictures for the past few months. $13 worth.

That was on my to do list from last weekend and I didn't get to it. I still have 3 things on last week's to do list. Plus this weekends to do list. Plus tons of work.

I think Dave and I are going to go to North Park today to walk. That will be my cross training.
I didn't weigh myself today.
Maybe I should update my weight graph. It's been over a month. I think my August average weight will be higher than July. Only one way to find out...put the data in excel.

I'm beginning to think I'm going to need more exercise pants once I have to stop running in shorts. Currently the laundry each week is my workout clothes. I haven't washed all the laundry in a long time. It used to fit in 2 loads each week but not anymore. I tend to not wash my regular clothes. I have more of those to last longer.

13:35:03	—	Busy day. decisions. something has to be cut from my day. I think lifting.

another one

now another one from July 7, 2009

I think I have to make 1 more at least and then decide which should be my new default icon.

new icon

I made a new icon. It's from 7 days ago.

October 2008 was my previous most recent one by over a year but I never use that one because I don't like it. I don't even think I like this new one I made.

pictures

First time ever (over 4 yrs of the site) do i have a month where I have a picture of me everyday.

http://colleen.akwire.net/_clothes/

I can finally cross something off my to do list.

Stampin' Up

I just did my income and expenses for the current year so far. I'm only missing a few receipts that I forget what they are for and also i didn't mark down the tolls from here to Monroeville and i'm at a $24 loss.
Dave says I'm not a good businessman. I just have too many supplies at the current time. I'm about to have a class and then boom that's all "profit." but I like making less on paper. Then i pay less in taxes. Also my tax bracket is too high since I have a real job on top of SU.
I also already bought my Christmas stamps and supplies for Christmas card making parties. I wanted to buy them early to give me time to come up with good example cards. and maybe to actually make Christmas cards this yar. I didn't mail any home-made ones last year and I only mailed a card to someone who mailed me one. and i had moved so many people didn't have my new address.

10:24:21	—	i just jagged around for 2 hours. now it's going to be too hot during my run.
10:31:29	—	I think my new shoes are too tight on my ankles.

15:15:51	—	Pirates are leaving ticket prices the same next yr. Also they haven't raise prices in recent yes. All other teams have.
15:27:49	—	I just heard the announcer say we lost by a touchdown on Friday. This confused me. I looked it up. Final score 14-7. Haha. Pirates suck.
15:39:32	—	I'm fairly certain that I just ate more calories in animal crackers than I burned running today.
15:49:39	—	Most inappropriate jacket ad ever http://twitpic.com/gr00w

16:27:08	—	We tied it. 2nd time the announcer said it's a whole new ballgame.
16:34:46	—	We won. Exciting. Now its time for a nap. @polahbea hacked me and now I think I like to watch baseball.
17:03:19	—	@iamoddd everytime we go, we leave early. Today we watched it on tv but inky 5 innings or so

20:08:31	—	I found a pair of shorts on my dresser. bought them at Target in 10th grade. I wonder how they fit. Probably fit better than 7th grade ones
20:22:18	—	I just realized that I didn't eat dinner yet. I love my new chair. My desk is messy. I didn't complete anything on my to-do list for today.
20:48:41	—	I'm wondering if it's too late to thaw ground meat to make spaghetti with meatsauce. It probably is since it's actually too late for dinner

Awful

I suck at posting on here anymore.

I use Twitter too much.
I have no life.

Right now I'm only posting on here because I'm procrastinating going running.
I took an entire week off so i'm nervous.
I also bought new shoes so I'm nervous how they will work.

This house is so disgustingly dirty that later today I need to clean. cleaning is after running so if i put off running, then I put off cleaning. I need a maid.

I like my new desk chair. It doesn't roll on this carpet that good but no chair does so I don't hold that against it. I have to try out sitting on here for hours and hours and see if it's still comfortable.

I need to print pictures at Costco. That's one of the next things on my to do list after running and a little bit of cleaning.
I also need more recent LJ icons. My default is from September 24, 2006 if I remember correctly. The one I'm using right now is from May 2003.
I also need to decide when to have my next stampin' up techniques class.

I definitely peaked on Sunday and how it's all down hill.
stupid

my calf was still really tight today. i was going to not run. but dave wanted to go to the track. so i went. and ran super slow. i suck

i'm so mad i reset my timer while running. so i quit.
it was right at the lap and i was hitting lap
and i have no idea how many laps i did. at least 10.
i'm so mad
i want data points for my graph.
it's almost like i have to run again now.

(someone may recognize the above from an email i typed)

then my trouble with trying to remember my splits is this

once i did my warmup i looked at my timer after 100m and calculated in my head what my lap time woudl be. then at 200 i noted if i did better than the pace for the first 100 (which i did every time) and then i calculated my new lap time. then at 300 i checked to see if i was on or ahead of pace for what i calculated at the 200 and then at 400 i hit lap and looked at my time. now every time i beat my projected times. but all those numbers in my head make it hard for me to figure out how many laps i ran and also what my actual splits were.
it was my best set of splits ever.
i'm so mad
so mad
it's almost like i need to go run again to get more times.

wondering if i should run today since i only ran 3 days this week. it's way too hot in this house so it discourages me from doing anything.

sigh

I'm following my workout plan horribly. i followed it 4 days out of 11. Yesterday I was even noticing progress.
Tomorrow I won't be following it either. No time to lift and run.

My stomach still feels super weird from eating 10 cookies from DiBella's. Those are some good cookies though. I've stopped wanting more and when I think about them I just want to throw up even more.

Today someone told me it looked like I lost 15 lbs. I didn't. Maybe she's saying i was fat before. or as timmy put it he said that i was just fatter before. i didn't lose 15. i lost 1 maybe. or depends how far back you go.

I need to plan out my day for tomorrow to see what time I have to wake up to run. Tomorrow is to be 3 miles (or 2 if i cheat and use the easy plan). but i skipped intervals today. but intervals are my favorite. but intervals before work would stress me out since i don't know how to time everything that way.

Tomorrow is the NA-YGN picnic. I probably should go early and stay late since I'm an officer.

I feel like just going to sleep right now. I was asleep last night by this time.

running today

nobody will care but i'll post it anyway

today i ran 5 miles
well i ran 7500 and walked 500 (aka walked a little over 1/4 mile spread out)

my mile splits were
9:02
9:41
10:14
10:50
11:28

all the walking was in the last 2 miles.
overall pace was 2:34 for a lap (1/4 mile)
I stretched after 3 laps. normally i stretch after 2 but figured it was such a long run that the little break of stretching would be nice further into it.

It's the first time I ever ran 5 miles

I think i walked extra at the end when I didn't need to and then the last lap was a little slower for a cool down. plus my arms were all tingly the past 2 laps.
then i went to stretch but when i did some of the stretches i'd black out (like bending down to touch my toes) so i stopped that. and didn't stretch.
came home and got water. walked upstairs and had to rest on the floor in the middle of when I was telling pb about my run.

I was done running around 11. only drank about 2 oz of water so far.

i'm also stupid and forgot sunscreen. we'll see how burnt i get. I was probably out there for about an hour. well a little less. ran in less than 52 min. probably took 2 min to stretch. and then drank sips of water twice but that didn't add much time. i wish i could tan. man my legs are so pale. it's almost disgusting.

in 2 weeks i'll be running a 5k downtown. I want a 9:30 mile pace for that. don't know if i can get that. probably based on todays number though. most promisiting so far. last 5k was about 10 min mile pace. today my 5k split was 30:02.

I have been using my dell more and now most of my desk is messy instead of just half of it. my vacation is over. i didn't get anything done around the house. i didn't do anything fun. it was too hot to leave the house. today we tired and that sucked. the only thing that seemed productive to me was getting some running in. i keep thinking I should be productive.
i got sunburnt 3 times so far on my "vacation" yet the most I was outside was 40 minutes.

UGH time flies. I still have so much to do.

today

So far it's 8:55. I slept in until 8:30. I was in the middle of dreaming about how i was having a stampin' up party that I didn't prep.
My shins hurt so bad. Front shins instead of side shins. I don't understand it at all.
At least today is rest day.
Did I do too much running? I even did an extra cross train day so that I wouldn't kill my shins.

Then i sit here and try to get pictures from my iphone to picasa and that isn't working.
already feels like such a bad day.

also certain people I email ignore my emails and yet i keep emailing them and getting all mad about it.

i ran 3 days in a row. time to take some time off for these shins. but time not to take time off because i need to train for a 10k and the shortest training programs i saw were 8 weeks and i only have 7.

i went to the track this morning
it was 9am
i should have gotten up earlier and got a move on leave ealrier. it was so hot. the sun was beating down on me. it was pretty humid.

i did 3 miles today. my shins hurt a little after 2. my shins hurt worse when i'm on the recovering job/bounce lap and they hurt the worst then after i was done and i was walking. so if I can just keep running I should be good.

i need endurance back.
i had a baby stomach cramp for more than half of my run today.
http://twitpic.com/d5gw8

i was going to turn tonight but i took a little nap and that nap lasted until after it was dark. ugh. i wanted to run yesterday and that didn't happen. i guess i will have to use the exercise boke tonight
that's just so boring.
i want my endurance back.

pb hacked me into staying up too late last night. he always goes to sleep first and goes to sleep early. so i kept doing stuff until finally i noticed it was an hour past our bed time.
i'm so tired.

ha

i guess i was in hate so much that i didn't realize i made that nice short post after i returned. so then i complained again.

UGH

my run sucked. i hate my shins. and now i'm getting more and more out of shape. did 2.25 miles. wanted to do 3 or 4.
it was way too humid os maybe that's why my times sucked. or why i did my 9th lap as a bob instead of running full out.
but i guess i was hitting my targets (almost) of 2:30 laps. i actually did 15 sec better on the first 3 so i slowed up but then i couldn't go faster if i wanted to.
my face was a very nice shade of red when I was done.

i only made it 9 laps today before the shins hurt
i hate this

Tonight I got home at 10:15
Last night 9:45
the night before about 10
the night before was 9:15

I'm too old for this

my friends page is lacking in updates. it's sad times when i go to my friends page and then there aren't any new updates. it's even sadder when this happens multiple days in a row.

i used to go to the gym everyday and like it
now i seem to try to come up with an excuse not to go
sometimes numerous excuses.

i had bacon, eggs, pancakes, and toast for breakfast.
then i remembered i wanted to take my measurments this morning since i haven't in almost 2 months.
I should also take progress pictures. I haven't since May 30. Today is the first day I looked at the ones from May 30. I have older ones. Maybe if i get them to a good file size, i'll post some. a little busy today though.
I was looking at th epics and they don't even look good. i feel i look better than the pictures show. I always do. you cant tell i have muscles or anything.
i'm also getting fat according to the scale.
i'm slacking at exercising lately.
I've been doing shin exercises though. I may do them as soon as I make this post so that they get done today before i get dressed and we start heading places.

i need some sort of thing that will post my twitters to here. pb knows someone who did that but that application or whatever is no longer around.

my fingernail is stained orange from doritos that I ate yesterday.

I want to see if there si a way to rearrange my craft room. I also need a new desk chair. i want one without arms so that i can actually push my chair in further. i want to switch where my mac and dell are.

We named my dell "foggy." Our basement computer is shady. our family room computer is sunny.

I also should get to updating my website. that picture on the home page is so old. I should make new LJ icons. These are all so old.

I thought about geting a hair cut today. going somewhere for it. i just don't know where to go.

finished doing my shin exercises
maybe i'll do laundry since laundry needs to get done and i don't know what we're doing for the day.

gmat is over.
they gave a score for verbal and quantitative. did worse than i thought on math and better than i thought on verbal.
the writing is probably horrible.

i'm starting to get really stressed about the gmat tomorrow
i don't even know where the test is.
it's at 8am.

ugh 12 hours. less than that

stuff

i went running tonight. i haven't been because of my shins. well i thought they were getting better. haven't hurt in days. I was wrong. they didn't even last as many laps as last time.

I consistently drop 2 or so seconds off my lap time from before (even though i keep doing laps) but after so many (not a lot) i'm too dead. if it was a 1 mile race i think i would be good.

Today i only lasted to middle of lap 8. last time it was middle of lap 10. ugh
i did get my fasted 1 mile time yet. 8:49 and during that mile i read and responded to a text.

my warmup lap was pretty quick for reading an email and writing a full sentence reply. i'm beginning to think my iPhone is a bad idea as my timer.

Emily and I decided earlier today that it wouldn't be a good idea for either of us to do a 5k on August 1. me because of my shins and her because of hosting a house warming/engagement party later that day.

Today i wore my hair up. I wore a blue scarf i got a relay for life. I got told i looked cute by my manager (a female so don't get any ideas). and someone else told me I had been looking cute lately. maybe one of them said pretty because i don't get called cute and especially not twice in one day.
i think it's all the lifting. so i look nicer.

so far i only have up to G for phone numbers entered in my phone. I have email addresses from google. we forgot to have at&t copy my numbers over for me. i counted and i only have 58 numbers in the phone. i never got the numbers from my last phoen to this phone and ended up only copying over half of them last time.

but now that i have an iPhone, i need to get more emails. I should see if there is a way to get LJ posts on there. I never set up facebook app. I actually didn't set up most apps. I set up 2.

I meant to review for the gmat tonight. ooops.

working out

i did body pump today
2nd time this week.
3rd time ever
i upped the lunge track. forgetting that last time my legs were shaking by the end.
then i realized it was that track that made me lightheaded not the one after. but i handled myself and shook off the blacking out. i did the next track with 1kg in each hand instead of 2.5 like they said. (that's 2.2 lbs instead of 5 lbs. man makes it seem like it should be easier)

my knee didn't hurt on the squat track. it was just very hard to do.

i got my iphone
i need to spend time figuring it out. but i dont really have time.

i'm so tired right now because ive een staying up too late. too late doing work.

Tonight i dont feel like doing anything but I should be productive but it's already bedtime.

Obama's press conference ate up my evening. I didn't even get to watch regular TV.

Sunday

today i went to sleep at 12:30 or so but didn't fall asleep right away. then i woke up at 1:40. 2 i went to walk at the relay for life. I think i did 11 laps. 3:15 or so came home. went on the computer. then went to sleep.
around 9 or so i started waking up often but i'd go back to sleep. i finally woke up at 11
didn't get anything done until 1:30 when we headed to my aunts.
I hate too much.

then aroudn 3 or 4 my cousin showed up with the baby. He was shy at first. around 6:00 he liked me though.
I left shortly after 7
and got home an hour later
then had dinner (only a little. still full)
then watched big brother and then the listener.

and now i'm mad that all weekend i didn't read my gmat book it took me 2 naps worth to make it through 1 page of telling me about reading comprehension. i learned verbal section is intermixed and if there is a story, the story is on the left and then 1 question at a time on the right half of the screen. silly naps. i need to get to practicing the verbal section.

today i got pb to hang out with me saying we could go to breakfast. he already ate. we went to mcd's
it sucked.
well he liked it. i didn't. i never do though. i tried something new today.
then we went to panera. i got a bagel and soup
i ate my bagel before my soup came up.
so i had 2 breafkasts and 1 lunch so far today.
i was so full i couldn't move.

I don't seem to post here as much as I would like.

I want to go running but i can't. Callie told me not to run until these shins feel better. It makes me so mad.

I'm doing the Relay for Life tonight (9-10pm and 2-3am). I also wanted to visit the baby when I'm that close to McKeesport but I don't know if he'll be around.

I have a ton of freckles on my arms. I wish i also had a little bit of tan. oh well.

Everyday Dave tells me i'm on the wrong computer. I'm still using my mac instead of my dell.

1 week until the gmat. Man am I going to suck.

i just took my hair out of the ponytail and it's wet
i took my shower at 8am.

i forgot about the cop on the way to work. stopped in the lane. talking to a cyclist while another one sat in the ditch. with both their bicycles were against the grass

lots of things

today was such a bizarre day

I ran in the morning before work. It's the 2nd time. I only lasted until the middle of the 10th lap before my shins started killing me.

I then came home, showered, got ready, took my picture because my face was still red


(This shirt for a better view. regular black pants and my grandma shoes)
and then headed to work. After my shower I just threw my hair up in a pony-tail almost bun thing. Up until about 4:00PM it was still damp where it was all smashed together.
My cheeks also stayed red then pink until about 11:00AM

I think it's only the third time i've worn my hair up. The other 2 times I used a claw thing and this was the only time with regular ponytail holders. The other 2 times I wore turtle necks too.
Well all day today I got compliments about my appearance. I got compliments about being all dressed up. Mind you in that picture from 2 weeks ago to the day I was wearing much fancier shoes and the same shirt. I had on a fancier necklace last time too. I think I got more compliments today than the last year put together. Also I noticed people eyeing me.

Then after work I headed to the gym. The cleaning guy thought I was a new trainer. Then after I said no, he introduced himself to me. He gave me a fist bump instead of shaking hands. it was weird since he's probably in his 40s. His name is Rico.

Then today the workout was so good. I was able to increase weights. I did more than normal and i felt great. I had gotten so weak by the end that lifting up my purse and gym bag were so hard like they were heavy even though they weren't. I love that.

I came home to find the top coat put on our driveway and also almost all our neighbors on our side of the street. We are all parked on the road.

exercise/running

I almost ran before work. that didnt happen. i was going to go at lunch and work out and right when i was about to leave the help desk called to take care of the problem of me not receiving all my emails. then i wanted to go after work but i had to get an allergy shot and decided to meet dave for dinner and he wouldn't wait. then at 8:45 i wanted to run but then dave said he was watching big brother (from yesterday) so i didn't go then. that's 4 times today that I didn't exercise but thought about it.

slippery slope to not exercising anymore.
I'm going tomorrow morning for sure!

should I do a 5k on August 1? Since July 1, I only ran once. That was a slow jog. I also don't think i have a buddy to hang out with before and after.

it took me a long time to get home from work today. stupid construction. i forgot about it. i knew after 6pm they go down to 1 lane but i didn't process it really
i think it took me 45 min to get home. I wish could ahve done a U turn and then figured a new way home but I didn't have a GPS so i was scared.

Why is it that when I give training with someone else, they mess up so I have to correct them and then on the course evaluations, they get positive remarks and im not mentioned

i got a twitter

i got a twitter earlier today. my name was too long. it was quite annoying. i tried and tried to come up with a new name. all good ones were taken.

I am going to try to find something that will post my twitter updates to here but I don't know if it will happen.

birthday cake

i gave daddy some of the leftover b-day cake. i thought i kept about 6 pieces worth
dave and i had that tonight for dessert. we each had 2 pieces.
i feel like i'm going to throw up

to help my mom's church out next weekend i'm walking the relay for life from 2-3am.
also walking 9-10pm too.

in-laws

the in-laws drove me absolutely insane.

bad sign

it's a bad sign when you are asked "is this a weed or a plant?" because the weed is so large.

silly alarms

I've been up for awhile
but my alarm just went off
i had to run to turn it off
others heard it who were sleeping. i could tell.

the in-laws arrived. their flight was about an hour late. so we got home close to midnight. took an hour for the tour or so i guess since it's 1:00 now. it's way past our bedtime.

it is so hard to wake up. I'm so tired.

i had a dream about a big spider. it woke me up.

i found a watch that's been missing for 8 months or so.

i didn't have any pictures of my craft room
i spent an hour cleaning off the desk

picasa album

hard to believe this is clean huh.

i also wondered if it counted as cleaning if i moved stuff from one desk to the other.

cleaning is not fun. also i'm so hot.
i brought work home to do. looks like i'm not getting it done today.

I worked so long today.

then i went to the gym. i hadn't lifted for my arms since june 26. and it's surprising how hard every thing was that i was trying to do. not good. i did liek 1/3 a workout. oops.

hair

i just added layers to my hair
i had layers before. i cut 2 inches and then an inch. so it's more layers overall.
i'm no sure if it looks good.

today we went to the cheesecake factor for lunch. but we didn't leave until 2:00pm. i was a little lightheaded by that time. then we came home. and then i took a nap. 2.5 hour nap. oops. i could probably stil fall back to sleep.

run

I ran a 5k today

about 31 min. i started late so many people. it took me about 30 seconds to cross the start line (I thin it was actually 31:24 but i said about 31 because of not starting right). i was so mad i didn't have a watch.
it was so hilly


i hit 2 miles at 20 min
my shins killed me.
it was entirely on roads

so it was the first i ran on roads and the first i ran on hills since the surgery. actually since i lived at deauville park

I beat haley by over a minute

i didn't walk at all.
i didn't push myself or sprint at the end. i feared messing up my knee.
this 8 yr old or so sprinted by me at the end. she had someone there cheering for her.
pb wouldn't go to cheer for me.

i finished and went back to before the finish and cheered for haley.

i'm so stressed out about this 5k it's crazy

well my "holiday" is over.
today i went to the movies. went to target, weedwacked. and i don't know what else but i've been up since 8.

we cooked dinner tonight
it took forever
the potatoes burnt
so i made mashed potatoes impromptu instant
more of the burnt taters got eatten than the mashed taters. i think because they didn't have a nice container so it wa a pot with a lid.
