BBBS

Well hello! Today is mighty milers and I am pumped!!! Yesterday I kind of overslept and didn't get to do as serious of bonding with Danielle as I would have hoped, but today I will have the chance to make up for it today. Danielle is such a sweetie........ most of the time. She can be quite bossy but is all in good intentions. She really is a sweet girl. That's why today I am going to run run run with her. She is in the second grade this year, so a mile it is. I haven't ran in awhile so it might be her waiting for me, but it will still be a blast!

Get Me Out Of Here

kjdfa;lksjdfklsajdfklsadjf sdjflksd......... that is how I feel today! I have lost all motivation within myself to do anything really! I NEED A BREAK! Not only am I ready to graduate, but I need to make some money. Sounds crazy but I am actually ready to start working again this summer. Well, this was a boriing blog but my mind is so so blank!

Coming To An End

School is flying by and I am loving it! Graduation can't get here soon enough. It has been a fun ride, but I'm so ready to be done! The spring season hasn't been as successful as I would have hoped, but it has been a blast. I could not have asked for a better team this golf season, and I'm so thankful for the memories we were able to make together! UIL also did not go as well as I had hoped, but that's ok. We tried our hardest, that's all that counts right? All in all it has been a pretty great year with some pretty great people! Stepping into the real world does scare me a bit, but it will be such a fun journey! I will miss all of my friends, but I know that they are only a phone call away and I can always visit! :)

In a more positive light, I am loving the warm weather lately! Being able to pull out the shorts is my very favorite!! I can't wait to be able to take a dip in the pool.

FUN

These past few weeks have been a struggle of balancing time, but I have really been working on eating a lot cleaner. My goal is to try to stay as organic as possible because lately energy is something that I need. I have found that eating organic foods rather than artificial foods gives me that extra push that I need to perform at the best of my abilities. I will be honest in saying that I have had a major sweet tooth lately (which isn't unusual for this little piggy), but I find that upping my fruit intake makes me think less about other chocolate delights. Don't let it fool you though, fruit does have sugar but it is a good kind of sugar that your body needs in order to function.

My newest commitment to myself is to get more sleep. I really need to work on getting to bed earlier everynight. I tend to have a lot going on during the day, so at night I stay up late to get things like homework done, and also to squeeze in a little me time which is always nice. Sleep seems to be something that I am usually lacking and this definitely stunts my performance when working out and such. I think that going to bed earlier will also allow me to do my workouts in the mornings before I get busy. This is the time when I prefer working out because if you just get up and do it you can't make up excuses throughout the day of why you shouldn't workout. I'm usually not a morning person, but I think that it will benifit be quite a bit.

Life has been pretty crazy lately with golf and UIL, but there is been success in both so I would say the hard work is worth it. I am really looking forward to Regional UIL and golf (if we move on), but I know that it will take super dedication to keep my diet healthy while traveling so much. Though it will be tough, I know that I can fight the temptations.

Tee It Up

Well, we had our first golf tournament & I must say it was a success! Though the wind was blowing and it was freezing, I had a blast! It's always great when you have a fun group that you can laugh with. It makes me excited to see what all is store for the 3 seniors throughout this year. We have two more tournaments until district which seems like very few. This season has been kind of crammed due to bad weather and not being able to get on the course for awhile.

I plan to play as much golf as possible over spring break because it is supposed to be beautiful which is a blessing. Other than golf, it is looking like my spring break will consist of a whole lot of nothing, and that doesnt bother me one bit. I have been going going going this year, and a break will be so nice. I honestly feel like I have yet to recover from the numerous stockshows and being gone for weeks. Bouncing back from being gone is hard for me, not only because I wear myself down but also because the stress of school work really just hits you when you've been gone for a long time. You can trust me when I say that I will be snoozing quite a bit during the break... call me lazy I don't really care.

Sleeping will not be the only thing I do because dad has big plans for me at work. YIPEE... not. Besides work I plan to finally get my tornado stricken room back into proper order, and I'm sure I will be doing lots of painting. Painting is something that I really enjoy when the weather is nice and I can just sit outside, paint, and relax. It's like my little form of meditation which is great. You can count on me to get in a few workouts throught the week as well. When I am able to get a lot of sleep I am on my A game. The energy before and after my workouts feels great, and will help me start school back up feeling great!

Enough about me, I hope you all have a wonderful break and make the best out of whatever you may be planning to do.

Frosty The Snowman

Helllloooooo fitness freaks! Well, due to the cold weather and blizzard like climates in Gruver I have been cooped up in the house for days. If you know me, it drives me nuts being inside not moving around. In order to keep myself fairly active I have been doing a few mini indoor workouts. The reason I say mini is because, due to the weather as well, I have developed a horrible cold that has lasted far too long. If I don't make my workouts mini I'm pretty sure I would be on the floor having a coughing fit, and why let that happen when it is completely preventable. Here is one of my favorite leg workouts that kept me quite busy this week....

This is a quick workout for when you really aren't feeling up to hitting it hard. Though you may think it's easy, you will definitely feel the burn.
Hopefully this cold I have will be gone soon because I have about had it with laying around doing nothing.

Fun, Fun, Fun

The last week was a blast, but this week took a turn for the worse. Last week was the Fort Worth Stockshow & Rodeo which was super fun. I didn't do very well but shopping and hanging out with friends and family made up for that. Is was a long trip, so when I got home it was safe to say that exhaustion had kicked in. I was in a deep sleep around 11:30 when I was woken up with the bad news that my granpa had passed away. Dad and I got Spearman where we were greeted with many sweet people. It's such a blessing to live in a community where people care so much. This week has been extremely tough and hard to get through, but the kind words of friends and family has gotten me through it. The funeral is Friday, so that will be hard and hectic.

Anyways, as you can probably guess I haven't been working out dilegently and food hasn't been super appealing to me because on top of all the greif I have been hit with a stomach bug. I should be able to get back on my normal routine next week which will be good because my body is begging for it.

Enough bad news, good news it that prom is Saturday. I'm hoping that this lifts my spirits and helps me to relieve my mind of the bad times. After prom I will have to frantically pack because Sunday I will be heading to San Antonio for yet another pig show. I am very excited and hope that things go well, so wish me luck!

Happy Eating & Let's Break a Sweat!
