Latest Obsession.

I have been wanting a juicer for awhile now, and I finally bought one. I went ahead and bought a cheaper one from Target, and it works amazingly! It makes so much juice, and is super easy to clean up.



My favorite so far is cantaloupe/apple, and plum/peach/apple. Do you have a juicer? What are your favorite drinks? I need recommendations (especially veggie ones because I've only tried one and didn't really love it).

Ouch.

Last night we went to a pre-grand opening for the Yard House in Roseville. I was so excited to go out with Jordan and a couple of my favorite friends. Until I ate that is, and everything went downhill. I ended up practically running out of the restaurant and crying the entire way home because I was so sick. But this is just a preview of what my days have become lately.

My first trimester went pretty wonderfully, minus the being extremely exhausted part. But then my summer job started up again, and everything has gone downhill. Working 40 hours a week, 80% of which are spent in the hot sun, with 20 something very energetic 7-year-olds has taken it's toll on me. My migraines have come back with a vengeance and the nausea that I was so happy to have avoided until now has been hitting me pretty hard. I had to ask my boss for one day off a week, specifically field trip days because those are the hardest, and I knew one of the lifeguards would fill in for me. While he wasn't exactly pleased, he made it work and I now have Wednesdays off.

Now I'm just praying that the little mid-week break from all the madness will provide rest my body is begging for. And hopefully I'll have a positive update soon.

Sugar Update.

While my original goal was 14 days without sugar, I ended up going 26 days! This is a huge accomplishment for me, as I will always consider myself a recovering sugar addict. Go ahead and laugh, but it's true. I was going to try and go for a solid 30 days without sweets, but Holly & Jeremy had a chocolate fountain at the wedding. How can anyone resist a chocolate fountain? I know I couldn't, I mean come on... look how amazing my dessert was. I've decided to start over and beat my new record. This is starting to become a fun game, and I've already seen a huge improvement on the scale and in my overall health.

Motivation.

So, as many of you already know, I'm running a half marathon on May 1st. I'm not sure what kind of drugs I was on when I signed up for this thing, but I can't back out now. I am not a runner by any means, and at this point I'm not really in good shape. I started off training with a lot of determination, but life just kind of got in the way. With school and getting sick, I just haven't had time to run. Lovely, considering I have three weeks to get my butt in shape. I'm scared, and really angry with myself.



So now I need motivation. I figured I would start writing about it a bit more on here, so that I can be more accountable. I know, pathetic, huh? I need the internet to keep me on track. Don't judge! Here is my schedule for the next two weeks, do you think I can do it?

Monday- 4 Miles/ Yoga
Tuesday- Yoga
Wednesday- Cross Training/ Yoga
Thursday- Yoga
Friday- 4 Miles
Saturday- 10 Miles
Sunday- 4 Miles

Then the week before I'm doing Yoga every day, and 4 miles on Monday and Wednesday.
