Ok so I went to the gym on Tuesday. I tried to run, I ran for .5 miles....and my knee began to screech in pain. I almost wanted to yank out my knee! hehehe!!! Not really. I decided to leave and run quick to Target. It closes at 10pm so I decided to buy some necessities. But back to the gym...I walked/ran 2.5 miles....weak ass!

Anywhoo...tomorrow I will make it to the gym. I am keeping my promise to myself and to those supporting me. So tomorrow I am going, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and then the routine. So whoot whoot!!!

4.0 and some change

Ok so yesterday I walked 4.00 and then some miles on the threadmill. I am super proud of myself. yippie....but i had to stop b/c i over worked myself. so today back to 3.0 miles =) Anywhooo....I ate super good yesterday. Im going to walk tonight! yippie!

Note: I killed my Direct TV box because I spilled some eye makeup remover on it and it is oil based! gurrr!

I took the day off from the gym yesterday, but today I shall go to take the stress off a sista! Gurrr!!! Ok today I am on a mission to take some pounds off, except i am not going to kill myself like i almost did on sunday....gurrr!!! ok peace out Yo!

P.S.S - My brother bought me a cake and some ice cream...ice cream is my weakness! gurrr!!!

Happy Walk....

So yesterday night, I walked for a mile because I said I was going to get up early and go to the training. Well turns out that I feel asleep and woke up around 4am. Then slept another hour. I was wakened by a phone call. It was my aunt wishing my dad and I a Happy B-Day. Whoopee!

I feel asleep until 8:45am....a little too late for the training. Whelp! I took my happy butt to the gym and walked 3.20 miles on the treadmill and escalated the inclination from 0, 1.5, 2, and up to 3, then i declined so it wouldn't be a drastic change once I was finished. Guess what?! I felt good!

Then I got home because I was hungry. So I made my veggie burger w/ wheat bread, lettuce, mustard, and light mayo. With my broccoli slaw (bought at Trader Joe's) and some lemon on top and a dash of salt....lol...dash! I know I am a dork!

So I am going to wait until 4:30pm to have dinner w/ my family at Chili's (song comes to mind) and celebrate my 20th b-day (really turning 25, but in denial). Probably just chill at home or go rent some movies from Hollywood Videos, maybe rent the inconvenient truth, who knows....

I'll keep you posted w/ what is going on as it develops...yay!

Support ME in the AVON Walk for Breast Cancer

Well to many it may seem like a generic request. To some another walk for a cause....blah....blah....blah!!! And to the few who believe in the cause. Well the women in my family have suffered from some type of cancer (ovarian mostly). Ever since I was little I can recall one incident. In 3rd grade, I remember Margarita, my moms only friend. She was diagnosed with cancer and did not realize she had it, until a year later. She under went chemotherapy. The cancer began to run off into oblilvion. And it did for a while. Unfortunately, a year and a half later, she began to pull away from our family, and we received a call from her husband one day.

My dad was at home, while my mom, brother, and I went to church. We came back happy, we were even joking around. My dad told my mom that Margarita had called her. My mom was ready to call her back when my dad said that it was Margarita's husband who called. He told her that Margarita had passed away. That happiness we all walked into the house with, vanished. I remember going to her house and she would pull out some typical Latino bread. My favorite, "Concha". Sugar is always good for the soul! She would warm it up and give up ice cold milk. That was great! But she is truely missed!

I have seen a friend suffer from Brain cancer in High School and have her withdraw from friends because she did not want anyone to see her in her "weak" state. Anyone who can go through any type of pain or obstacle, that is strength to me. Physical and mental strength! Needless to say, I never heard from her again. I pray that she is well.

My aunts, grandma, and two cousins had Ovarian Cancer and had their reproductive organs removed. My grandma and my two aunts were diagnosed in their late 40s, but my cousins were diagnosed in their late 20s. My mom and I have been blessed thus far, but it creates an awareness of those whom you know that could possibly have some sort of cancer.

I have never walked or ran for a cause. I barely make it to the gym, but i vow to dedicate myself to this cause and to the many more that I will support! I will dedicate my Fridays through Mondays to the gym and get myself together, since I have class on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have motivation and dedication.

If you would like to share your stories, feel free to do so! And to those who were supportive to those who feel in the arms of some sort of Cancer or any disease or illness, I commend you! It takes effort, patience, and most importantly Love!

This is my website if you would like to Donate a little something!!!! Anything helps!!!
