I'm going home this weekend, because I didn't do anything last weekend, I stayed home, went to the gym and just did nothing, so why not just go home and do nothing?? Good idea right... RIIIIIGHT I'm going home after work to pack, and then I'm headed down to good ol' So.Ab!! My mom is taking my sister and I shopping tomorrow, and I'm going to do Wii fit and play guitar hero with my dad and just be lazy alllllllll weekend....
So, Last night I had a Stake Relief Society Presidency meeting with all of the R.S presidencies in the stake, and it was really good. With my calling its really hard sometimes without the support of others. I'm the Enrichment Councillor in the presidency, and lets just say I had nothing but bad experiences in this calling in my last ward, so I'm not as stoked as I should be about planning activities. I go thru all the trouble of planning a fantastic activity and 4 people show up, it's pretty depressing....I realized last night after meeting with all the other enrichment councillors that they all have the exact same problem... it made me feel good that I wasn't alone in this, I thought it was cause I was in a singles ward, but NOPE! it happens everywhere... We were all talking about our march 17th party and when I told them what my theme was they all just thought it was the cutest idea on the face of the earth... so needless to say in a few weeks I'm going to be getting a whole heck of alot of emails from the other councillors to see if I actually pulled it off with a hit! and I just hope that I do. I have a wonderful committee this time around and its getting even bigger which is what I need... Everything is falling into place, and I've done something, thats never been done before(by me) I DELEGATED.... I know everyone take a step back and breath.... I don't do that very often because I have a vision inside my head of what I want it to look like, and I end up just trying to do it all my self...... and then I get burnt out... and I dont know why I try and do it all my self, because I am the LEAST creative person that I know.... Sooooo this year I left the decorations up to another part of my committee and I'm washing my hands of it, and whatever happens will happen.... SOOOOOOO I'm excited. It's all starting to come together! I love it. I got so many good ideas from the other "older" sisters in the stake, and I want to try them. I'm really thankful that I work with a president who lets me do what I want with my calling, and doesn't set guidelines for me. It's been amazing! I love Cora and Jayci.. they're waaaay funny!!!
Training..... oh my training...haha!!! freakin eh! It's coming... slowly but surely.... I'm going home tonight and I'll be home tomorrow so I won't get a chance to run for a few days, but monday I will be back up and killin' it. It's my 2nd week running for a whole mile non stop(endurance training) and next week I will be doing two miles, that way when I'm in utah I will be doing the full 3.5 mile run, and from Utah until the actual triathlon I will be working on my speed. My bike is going very well... I'm as happy as I'm going to get with it. I've got to get back in the pool tho. Thats something that I've been thinking alot about, and I'm not as fast as I'd like to be, but I think I can get away with only swimming 1-2times a week and still get a pretty decent time. So wish me good luck! Cause I think I am going to need it... My roomate alisha gave me this sweet exercise log for my birthday(yesterday) even tho my birthday was a month ago, and I'm super stoked to use it. It will let me record all of my stats down, and I can keep record of my eating and what not. I'm excited to start using it.
At work yesterday this girl was talking about Lent, growing up I went to a Catholic elementary school....don't ask... ha ha.... worst experience of my life, but I knew a little bit about catholicism(sp) and I knew about lent, and its 40 days before Easter and each person "gives" something up.... and she was talking about how she was giving up t.v and chips blah blah blah, so I'm going to do it too(only I'm two days behind) I'm giving up all junk food for as long as I can. I've been doing pretty this year, for the majority of the time I'm pretty please with the way I eat, although I do get off track and eat stuff I shouldn't.... but who doesn't..... anyways... for lent I'm going to "try" giving up all junk food... I've just found some pretty amazing organic chocolate that is way better for you that normal stuff.... so I'll just have to avoid that for the next 38 days..... I don't think my training will mind that too much... its all mental. I work in the worst place for that tho, cause everyone brings food/junk they don't want at their houses to work, and I walk past it....and it says.... "eat me lachele, just one...." and then one turns into 5...haha.... oh this will be interesting...I'll keep you updated!!!
Again... Good luck to Eric and Ryan this weekend. They're in Arizona right now....
DOOOOON'T die boys!!!

oh ya....
Last week my tri training update was 1h 56 minutes... and I'm down to 1h 48 minutes.... probably because I actually tried running this weekend when I timed my brick(and I just add 20 minutes to whatever my time is for my swim, since I haven't done all 3 events at once) Friday night I did my run in 34 minutes and my bike in 51 minutes.... give or take a few transition minutes inbetween my bike and my treadmill.... thats where I'm at....
Once a week(either Friday or Saturday) I will do a brick(two events in a row) to get a rough estimate of my time. And this week it was on friday night.... and this I don't know when it will be.... I might go home for the weekend, and if I do I will go to the gym in Taber friday night after work, and then go shopping with my momma on saturday.... shes buying...ha ha!!
Anyways.... those of you who read this are probably so confused because I just write down whatever is in my head.... and it usually comes out jumbled..... which probably explains alot about me(why I'm all over the place allllllllllll the time) cause its how my brain works... ha ha

Training/Life Updates....
So.... I should just start saying the opposite of what I plan on doing, because everytime I say that I will update a whole heck of alot more on my training I never do, but when I don't think about updating I always seem to do alot of it.... sooo......
I WILL NOT BE UPDATING AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME.... ha ha I wonder if that will actually work.
Ok, So last night I was talking to one of my besties.... and shes a nurse... and I was asking her why I keep getting these insane bloody noses while I run, and all she said was it's either the air is too dry, or I'm not drinking enough water... so I will drink more water but the air I can't really control that at the gym.... so I will just have to take my chances and see what the outcome is. I was doing really well last week running and not feeling like I was taking a couple steps backwards.... Friday night I spent all night at the gym...(I was the only one there) how cool am I... but I got a lot accomplished, and I pushed myself for the first time in a really long time and it felt good. Saturday I went down to Cardston to the Temple with a bunch of people from my ward.. It was a good time. On monday when I went to train I did my bike 13 miles in 51 minutes.... I think thats as good as I'm going to get right now, and I need to work on my run and my swim. I haven't swam in over a week. Yuck, Yesterday I did my bike and my run and I need to come up with some sort of protocol for that...because I'm getting frusterated with my run... I hate stopping while I am running for a few reasons.... A. when I slow down my right Tibialis anterior gets wicked sore and it takes a few minutes to get back into the groove of running at a decent pace.... and B. I look stupid and out of shape if I always stop... pretty lame excuses... so I've decided to work on edurance vs speed for the next 6 weeks... I'm going to slow down my pace to about 36 minutes if I can and just work on my edurance... as it sits right now without transition my tri time is like 1hr48mins but I will be put over 2 hours with my transitions and if I factor in my times to be slower because I will be more tired... I'm looking at well over two hours...... I know I say the same thing in every post, but I still haven't found anything good I can do. So I'm going to just build up my endurance for right now, and try and get my nose bleeds under control and see if that helps anything!
Last night while I was talking to Mallorie, she was like so....Colorado is fun I'm really excited to move out here..... WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAT.....shes moving?? since freakin when?? I got really sad, as if It doesn't suck bad enough I already have seperation anxiety from being away from Mal and Ri now all 3 of us are going to be seperated.... thats not cool...she promised everytime I went to utah tho, she would be there too...which made me feel better... ALOT BETTER! I just love her and Rianne they actually are the best, and I've had the worst week away from them.. which makes me look like the biggest weenie ever.... but I don't care... I know they miss me just as much as I miss them dang it!! I can't wait only 6 more weeks until I'm back with them for a week.... and I'm sooooooo excited!! woooohooooooooo......
So incase I didn't say this enough above.... I'm going to go for a run first(rather than bike the 13 miles then run) and see if that makes any sort of difference.... and then I will bike, and I will try running for a constant mile(1 out of 3 miles I have to atleast be able to run without stopping) at a 6mph....maaaaaybe a 5.5 depending on how I'm feeling. Then I'll jog/walk the other two miles for the first two weeks, then the next two weeks I will run two of the three miles and walk the 3rd and on the 4-6 weeks(the week before I go to Utah) I will hopefully be up to running the full 3.5 at a 6mph speed... that way I won't be so embarassed when I train with the rest of my team, because I know that Eric and Ryan atleast are running every single day, and are training for their race down in Arizona this weekend( GOOD LUCK BOYS!) Rianne... isn't training.... but I think this comes natrually to her... she doesn't have to work as hard as Mal and I do.... and Mal last night told me that she sucked as bad as I did.... soooooo her and I will be the caboose... ha ha.....
Anyways.... Good Luck to Eric and Ryan this weekend in their Relay Race, I know they will do freakin amazing... They always do!
I WILL NOT BE UPDATING AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME.... ha ha I wonder if that will actually work.

Freakin Ehhhhhhhh
OK, so I've decided that I'm going to embarass myself royally right now, and everyday up until my triathlon. Everyday I'm going to post my times... of the events that I'm doing so that everyone knows how crappy I'm doing..... last night while I was doing my run.... I sucked waaaaay...... bad... I'm embarassed to say that I did a 3.2 mile run in 41 minutes and 13 seconds...... are you kidding me?? I know you're probably all thinking what I'm thinking.... my GRANDPA can run faster than me..... One day I will be fast. Tonight I'm headed BAAAACK to the gym to try and atleast get 41 minutes...ha ha...... Each day my goal is to go down a little bit, and in hopes to have my time around 35 by the time I go to Utah in 6 weeks.... that way I don't feel sooooo crappy about myself.... As of right now if I were to do a triathlon I would do it in 1 hour and 56 minutes.... My bike is 51 minutes my run is 41 and my swim is 20 which would give me 4 minutes to transition...haha yah I definately won't be able to transition in 4 minutes between events,and these times are based on not having completed any prior events.... which means I've got alot of work to do if I want to do my tri in under 2 hours.... Looks like I've got to step it up. In reality my goal should just be to finish. Rianne did her first one 10 weeks after having a baby and she did it in 3 hours.... so really I should be able to do it in under 3 hours but I really need to do it in under 2 hours. AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh ya, I'm still getting nose bleeds while I'm working out, yesterday I almost felt like I was going to throw up.... what is wrong with me. Soooooo gay!!! I got another bloody nose last night at 36 minutes. No cramps tho... wooohooo ha ha.... When one problem goes away, another one pops up...... If anyone has any ideas/suggestions on how to get rid of all of that. I think I need to take a mulitvitamin and that might help a little bit...... ugh!

Updating alll around.....
Well, I'm back from Utah now, and let me just tell you I'm soooo glad that I went, it was definately a much needed trip down to see some of my best friends... I cried when I left Ri's ot was soo sad, We left a day earlier than we were supose to and I never got the chance to say bye to Eric, cause we left 2 hours before he got off work....GAY!!! ha ha.... but I'm going down again 6 weeks and I think it will be the longest 6 weeks of my life, but I will be busy as a bee so hopefully that will make it go by waaaaay fast.
So I got down to Utah early friday morning, had breakfast at IHOP with Abby and a friend of hers, then I went down to Salem to Erics house to meet up with him...haha oh man I missed that kid so much, he's freakin the funniest kid ever... I was really tired and grouchy alot of the weekend.... I hope we're still friends haha.... we went and washed my car and just played the game "remember when" haha some of the things we've done are actually half insane. He's such a good guy! Then we went up to salt lake to meet up with Aaron and went to the Gateway.... Man I miss that place sooooo much!!! We ate a delish dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. soooo good, then we headed down to Spanish Fork for a sleepover at Riannes house. Scott went to his brothers and so we had a huge sleepover that was supose to be girls only, but Eric and Aaron ended up sleeping over and we had leg wrestling fights and sock wrestling competitions... it was sooo much fun. I think I'm stronger than I thought I was because I kicked Eric into a wall..... ha ha... I still laugh about that one.....I freakin already miss Mal, Ri and Boo....those 3 girls are seriously the best ever!!! Aaron and Eric are ok too... but freak I love my girlies! Saturday we went and tried to do some shopping but I just didn't find anything I liked... sad.... I got to meet up with KATHRYN!!! wooohooo it was sooo good to see her... I had so much fun! We went to Ryans house and then met up with Mal and a bunch of her friends from Rexburg for some dinner, then Eric Kathryn Aaron and I went to FatCats to bowl, and while we were waiting we played some mean games of air hockey... ha ha I bowled really well actually... one of the last times I went, I bowled a 37 and I was nervous I was going to blow really bad, but I was in the lead pretty much the whole game, then cockiness took in and Eric won both games by 2 points...errrrr he beats me at everything.... Sunday we went to church at his ward, then went to his brothers house for a Valentines Day fondue party. It was sooo fun. We watched their triathlon video that Erics sister Jamie made for them, and it got me really excited to get home and start training, because lets be honest I said I was going to work out while I was down in Utah but I totally didn't..... Eric didn't even go running.... oops. So needless to say I was excited/nervous for my first training back.... Yesterday was Riannes birthday and everyone went on a birthday dinner date, and I wasted away at the gym alone.... I freakin can't wait for the next 6 weeks to fllllllllllllllllllly so I can go down there again, and actually train. I will for sure be training because I want to run/bike the course I'll be doing my tri at. I need to see what I'm up against! I still have to register for that, I should have done it at Ri's house but I totally didn't oooooops! Eric doesn't think I'll do it, but you watch..... I'll do it, and I kick his butt..... Ryan is a master at Tri's and hes got his time down to 1h17mins...ahhhhh whhhhat!! maybe one day... this is my first tri. I'm glad its Erics first one too....cause we can stick together! We got home super early monday morning and I went straight to work, then I went home from work slept from 5:30-11:30 then I went to walmart, took a shower and slept from 1:30-6:30 and I slept from 10-6:30 this morning and I'm still exausted... oh well it was soooo worth it...even tho I got nooo sleep the whole weekend, and I was pretty grumpy for a while. I still feel really bad, and wonder how I still have friends! oyi!
So, now for an update in my training..... I took a few days off while I was in Utah, and I honestly had every intention of training down there, Eric and I were even gonig to go for runs, but it was snowing, and then we had already showered...yada yada!! whatever... so many excuses... Anyways last night I got to the gym and I've been super tired lately so I wasn't looking forward to it, and the gym was waaaaaay packed, and yesterday was my day for a 15 mile bike and then walking 40 minutes on the treadmill...... so thats what I did..... I did my 13 mile bike in 51 minutes...thats about 4 minutes amile....... I don't know how much faster I will be able to get on this, so I'll just have to try and maintain and get better on my run and my swim..... I did a fast walk/jogging/running last night, but I kept getting this nasty cramp in my right leg(which still hurts today) and for the past 3 times I've gone running I get these bloody noses and I don't know where they're coming from, but its embarassing to be running and having my workout towel shoved up my nose.... actually sort of sick...... It seems like the most I try and run, the slower I get.... It's getting super frusterating... I actually want to swear(but I won't) I guess I have 6 weeks to pick up my lazy bones and maybe try and get in an extra work out..... I don't have that long until my tri... its in 3 months.... and then there is one in sept a YUBA tri that they want me to do, and a halloween run too... which I should be able to make..... I think I'm going to need another job just so I can afford to travel to all of these...haha!!! I'm sooo excited to go down for conference. I hate that even all of my canadian friends are in the states... everyone wonders why I come down so much, its cause I have no friends here... haha soooo sad! Anyways, thats my training update, my swim pass expired on friday so I need to go get a new one. but I'm fairly confident on my swim I know I can do it, so maybe next week I'll work on it... I need to work on my run and my bike before I go to utah, and then from when I get home til the tri I will run and I will swim.... my bike really isn't concerning me too bad..... oyi! Oh well... I'm headed to the gym tonight to train and its another run night for sure, and I might try and bike a few miles while I'm at it..... then it's off to play volleyball....woooooohooooooooo
Oh ya, I am planning the R.S birthday for March 17th, and I knowwhat I'm doing, and I know what I need to do, but I haven't started yet, and I usually leave things til the last minute, and then it's never as good as I want it to be, so I need to get my bootay in gear....
Eric and Ryan are going down to Arizona in two weeks to do a 292 mile relay.... freakin eh!! thats insane but I wish them good luck with that, and in their training, Erics portion of the relay is 18 miles and Ryans is 21.
Good Luck Boys!!!

Eric and Ryan are going down to Arizona in two weeks to do a 292 mile relay.... freakin eh!! thats insane but I wish them good luck with that, and in their training, Erics portion of the relay is 18 miles and Ryans is 21.
Good Luck Boys!!!

My blog hates me.....
I had a huge long post typed out... and then all of a sudden POOF.....yes poof... it was gone! This is like the 5th time this has happened... and I don't even know why!..... My blog just hates me!
So last night.... I got back into the groove of things.. I went to the gym and I went swimming... it was pretty much amazing. I always feel so much better after I go to the gym, yet I always have these insane internal battles.... I really have nothing else to do other than go to the gym, so I don't see what my big problem is..I'm just a wussy! So I didn't do my run last night cause my foot hurt, I'm proud to announce the swelling is gone, and its not bruised to badly anymore! I'm really being a worry wart for nothing, and I realized last night that this experience really could have been something so differently... but I haven't let myself change thru this. I haven't really been pushing myself lately the way I would like to push myself..... So....I've been swimming 300m for the last 4 weeks, and I think I still have 3 or 4 weeks left to train on 300m before I move up to 400m swims. I'm still trying this whole co-ordination thing... and it doesn't actually seem to be working out for me all that well.... although, my time has greatly improved its no where near where I want to be, but I realized... I have 15 weeks... thats plenty of time. I'm planning on overtraining on all 3 of my events.... so instead of just training for the exact times I'm going to train/take my times of higher mileage... so for my run I might go to 4 miles, my bike might be 15 miles and my swim might be 500m. I'm happy to report that I just might be able to complete this Tri in under 2 hours like my orgional goal! I'm a little disappointed in myself in a few aspects.... 1. Is the spiritual side of myself that I can rely on thru this. I haven't been doing a good job of asking for learning experiences thru all of this. and 2. which is the biggest of my two concerns is my nutritional training for this, which is almost as big of a task as my physical training. Lately, I've been super tired after a 30 minute run, and I've been wanting to actually die. I've been evaluating what I've been eating in the past month or so, and for the first 3 weeks I was on top of the world with my training, and I was feeling absolutely amazing... and now I've slacked, and all of last week I pretty much sucked in the eating/working out dept. I guess I celebrated my birthday a little bit tooo much!! meh! Most of you know that my fave show is the Biggest Loser, and so I wanted to know their secrets on how they had so much energy to work out 8 hours a day, and I barely had energy for a two hour work out.... wtf.... so I found out that pretty much they're on the 4-3-2-1-0 diet with portion control. They Eat 4-fruits/veggies 3-proteins 2-whole grains 1-other 0- junk(the last one is in moderation.... a "healthy" treat is alright sometimes...but not everyday! So I'm going to do this. I've done it today so I'm 1 for 1. I realized how I didn't eat a whole balanced diet....weather it was from skipping meals, or eating actual junk. But for breakfast I ate Cherrios(grain/protein) for my snack I ate an apple(fruits) lunch I had a homemade chicken pizza(protein1/2,grain1/2, fruits) and for my afternoon snack I had an apple with peanut butter(fruit,protein) so pretty much for dinner I need a veggie......1/2 protein..... I think I added alittle bit of junk in there too....booooooo I'm working on that, and I know that my diet is the biggest part of my training, and so I'm trying. I'm also drinking water like a fish! Wish my luck on this part of my training... its by far been the biggest trouble that I've had! I found a couple biking/running trainings I want to try.... They're interval trainings and it will really help with my endurance.... so I will try working them into my plan(not caring about the time) for a while and see if that actually helps improve my time. Someone told me that I should be interval training and only timing my events on my brick days. So once a week.... Does this all sound like chinese to some people, because sometimes I think I understand what I'm reading, and other times I feel like I'm stupid!......For this reason exactly is why I need a degree in nutrition!
7 days 15 minutes until I leave for Utah.... I'm planning on driving as far as I can on Thursday night and finishing my trip friday morning. I would like to be there by noonish, so I can see everyone/play with all of my friends. I miss everyone down there, and I'm stoked to get to see them!

I wish I could.....
.....take a picture of the way my foot looks right now....Tuesday at the gym I think I hurt my foot a little bit, but yesterday I was fune....it hurt a little bit at work yesterday but I went to the gym last night, and I ran 3 miles then I went and biked 10 miles then did some weights, I went home and was fine.... I went to bed last night and I was still fine... but when I woke up this morning and i jumped out of bed because I hit the snooze 4 times and I had to leave for work in 10 minutes... whoops! I jumped out of bed and OOOOOOOOOOW my foot... I looked down and it was all black and blue... WTF happened!! I don't even know but my foot has hurt the whole freakin day and I actually am getting frusterated with how much I can't do right now! I'm so much slower.... Needless to say, I think I will be taking afew days off running and just riding my bike and trying to go on the elptical! I don't even know what I did... I didn't even kick my night table, I didn't do anything... I'm actually SUPER sore lately too.... my legs, my butt, my arms, my back, my sholders...... I just don't even know what this means!
Last night while I was watching the biggest loser I was talking to Rianne, and I was sort of having a meltdown, and she is my Jillian....I'm sooo grateful for her, and I wish she lived closer to me! Her, Mal and I are going to have a wicked fun sleep over when I'm down there one night, shes kicking her husband out of the house... it's going to rock actually..... I know I can always count on her and Mal to be straight up with me, which is nice. I feel like I don't have very many good girlfriends I can turn too..... someone always lets me down! what can ya do tho...thats life!!
I'm actually really excited to seeeeee them, and all my other friends. I know I won't have enough time to see half of my friends that I've told I'm coming down.....oh well

Blogstalker
Thats what I am.... Saturday when I was at the Temple with my friends I saw a girl I recognized and I couldn't figure out where I knew her from.... and then in the Celestial Room it dawned on me and I got freakin embarassed... I came across her blog from one of my friends lists and I always check it to see what her and her cute family are up too.... I instantly turned red and tried to hide from her(I just figured since I knew that her daughter who is 1 is already going thru terrible two's how her feet are sooo swollen from her 2nd pregnancy and that they're trying to buy a house just down from her parents.) that she knew I was blogstalking her....haha!!!
I wish my blogposts could have some sort of "theme" but I just sort of post whatever I want....whenever I want.... so I'll be talking about something and then just go off about something else....story of my life!! seriously! But I came across another blog....stalking again... ok, I guess there is a theme here! Anyways, this girl is training to do the Salt Lake half Marathon and shes blogging about it...what a good idea(I wish I thought of it.) but shes actually good at blogging about it, I blow at blogging about it.... sooooooooo I've committed myself again... and I think I did this last month but already fell off the band wagon....so here goes again!!! Last night before FHE I went for a 3 mile run.... I swear I keep getting slower and slower everytime I run... I thought I was supose to get better?!?! For FHE we had a picture scavanger hunt, and my team was sooo amazing.... 4 girls 1 boy.... I felt sorry for that kid...between me driving down a one way street the wrong way, and girls screaming trying to find directions... I think he wanted to jump out of my jeep... We ran thru China town, down Stephen Ave and all over to find king kong..... I was running in my Uggs and I think I did something to my foot cause it hurts real bad... and no I am not making up excuses.... :( But I will press on... I'm going to do another run tonight and then hit up the pool for a few hours... I need to set up a schedule and follow it, but until then I will just do whatever I want....
10 Days Til UTAAAAAAH!!!! woohooo

My Luck is just.....
down the drain.... or maybe thats just my phone that went down the drain...the toliet drain to be exact... UGH!!! I cried when my phone fell in the toliet saturday night! frrreakin eh! Could I be any unluckier... oh wait, yah I totally could... I was driving to the Temple saturday morning talking about how if my windshield ever got hit with a rock I'd cry, then a freakin truck knocked a rock onto my windshield...... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH It's just little, I need to go in an get it filled sometime this week.... and I had to buy a new phone.... which was $550 bucks..... GAH! Kill me.... sooo brutal! The only good thing to come out of this is that they were able to get all of my data off my old blackberry and transfer it to my new one... which was great, its the exact same phone, the exact same color, except now I'm $550 bucks poorer and I might not be able to go to Utah. I'm trying to be responsible and I don't want to go into debt for going on a trip that was impluse, and since I spent my trip money on a new phone... I might just have to wait until my trip in April to go play, I'll just go down for longer...haha!
So I think I just found a new sport that I loooove!! SOCK WRESTLING.... haha!! sooo excited.... we're having our first ever sock wrestling tournement this weekend... Joel and Mark made up the game, and they think they can beat Abby and I, so we're having a huge night of round robin wrestling..haha!! Abby and I have the sweetest outfits ever, and we are definately planning on kicking Joel and Marks trash.... so what you have to do is wrestle in different categories... its either 1 on 1 on 1..... or teams of 2 on 2... or just 1 on 1... so Abbs and I will definately be fighting Mark and Joel.... I'll have pictures up on facebook soon after the event so be ready!! soooo freakin fun!!
Annnnnd, tonight is back to the hardcore orginal training, and I'm excited. I haven't worked out in almost a week... wooohooo!! I'm actually excited to puke my guts out tonight after running for an hour.... I've missed the gym, and with all of my birthday festivities I didn't get to go very much last week, so I will be there this whole week... I will waste away my life at the pool and in the gym, considering I'm a little poor face... My goal this year is not to use my credit card for anything.... P.S they upped my credit card limit and I almost died....every 6 months they up it 500 bucks, and I didn't want them too....cause when they do I use it, and I don't need to be that far in debt!!!
