Entitled to a... Not so good very bad day!

I think we all can agree that we just plain have bad days once in awhile, you know when every time you turn around something else seems to go wrong or unplanned.  Well, I have had one of those weeks, I don't know if it's a virus that's making me CRAZY or what, but somethings gotta give.

I've been thinking of a project or something that will get me excited and keep me busy on my off time so I don't just sit on the couch and get fat watching TV all night long (especially since my BF has been working till almost 9pm lately).  I'm gonna start scrap booking again, that was my solution to keep myself occupied, although there is still a TV in my craft room at least I will be crafting my ass off instead of eating my way to a bigger ass.

As you all know I've been "trying" to lose weight, only for health reasons and to be able to do things that I want and not have my weight or inability to keep up get in the way.  I put 'trying' in quotes because although I feel like I've been trying hard to eat healthy and maybe exercise once in awhile, in all honesty I have been completely slacking and pretty much lying to myself about it.  UGH, get a clue Kelsie!

As much as I hate to admit it this SOOO describes me.... ha.






This past weekend we decided to go on a bike ride with our big group that normally rides the High Trestle Trail with us, but instead we rode from Nevada to Roland! I was SO nervous to ride because the only way to get there was to ride on a highway with no shoulder.  Well, we survived and it was actually quite fun (the highway was pretty dead as far as traffic goes) and Saturday was a perfect day to ride because it was overcast, and not TOO hot. And I will tell the truth, I was the only one to not make it back to Nevada (on my bike that is) :/ haha, i was doing great and pushing myself, then we stopped at a friends house that we knew on the way home (it was about half way back) and I was offered a beer (duh, who says NO to a free cold beer!) so needless to say I stayed and had a couple beers with our friends as everyone else rode on, then came back to get me a little later. :) I'm such a cheater, But seriously, who would pass up the free beer!

Here is just a few of the riders! Pregaming with Bloody Mary's!

I think that the goal for me here is to just spare everyone and stop talking about weight lose or being healthy! I guess it will just come to me when I'm ready and 100% motivated (whenever that may strike me)! Wish me luck and I will try not to complain about being overweight and unhealthy as long as I'm doing NOTHING to change the way I am!(Deal, DEal!) 

I love Summertime!

Despite the awful heat, I do love the summertime blues.  All the outdoor activities have been calling my name all summer and I can't believe that it is halfway through July already!  One of my other favorite things about summertime is there is always some type of festival or party to get involved in, and great friends around.  We do Sunday Night Grill Night and it is awesome sometimes its just my man and I and sometimes we enjoy it with friends, and sometimes we go to his parents for grilling night on sundays!  I love being able to spend SO much time outside this summer, the mosquitos have been pretty much NONE :) and the bugs are tolerable which makes sitting outside even more enjoyable this summer.  The heat has slightly bothered me lately but only because me and heat don't get along, the humidity just makes me sweat non stop and that is not very much fun.  Can't wait till this Saturday we are having a get together for my boyfriends 25th! Birthday! Gonna grill it up and enjoy the outdoors.

Little bit of a follow up on my getting on track to a healthier lifestyle, I've figured out that as long as I love myself and can see myself as beautiful, my weight and body seem to shape itself.  It also helps for me to realize that my boyfriend loves me just the way I am and doesn't care if I look different, as long as I'm healthier. I haven't weighed for a couple weeks because it's not about the number on the scale for me, but I feel better about myself and maybe a little lighter .  Keeping my motivation and not backing down on this life I have.  Not to mention the gym is gonna be my friend this week!

After being at the Midnight Madness run this weekend it really made me miss when I was running all the time and the few 5k's I have done in the past.  So my new focus is on getting back into running whatever it takes.  We have signed up for the Color Run 5K in October so I have a few months to get myself prepared and even time to enjoy running again before I actually have to run.

Midnight Madness

Just wanted to let you all know how Scott did on his first ever 5K. He did amazing if I do say so myself, before the race he said he wanted to finish before 30 min, well he got his wish, 28.35 I believe was his time! WAY TO GO HONEY!!!!!!

This was the very beginning, Scott is in the black shirt and my dad is right behind him in t he red shirt.

Scott at the finish line, my dad finish not to far ahead of him.

This is my hott boyfriend after he finished all sweaty and feeling good for accomplishing his goal! :D


Happy Early Birthday HONEY!!!!! :)

Mini Vaca

You know I would love to say that I kicked ass on my few days off last week with eating well and all... but I will just be honest... I kinda sucked.  I did workout a few of the days, but vacations seem to just mean a free for all for me, not paying attention to the food i'm eating or how much i'm working out.... NOT GOOD. 

My new goal is to lose 40 lbs by December 31.... I"m excited but nervous, I have a deal with my dad that if I meet my goal he will give me 400 dollars but if I don't I will owe him 400..... So looks like I better get my act together huh. :) 

This week might work out good for me though cause my boyfriend is doing midnight madness saturday night so he is going to the gym and trying to lose a few pounds before, so hopefully that will motivate me to get back into things this week! I'm so proud of him, going to complete his first 5k before he's 25(even if its only 3 days before ;) )  Love you honey!!!

Last week because of the holiday kind threw off any kind of eating plans and good habits.... I did enjoy my mini vaca though, wednesday my bf and I spent the day relaxing together then we  had a bbq with my family and then we went home and watched the fireworks with his brother and sister-in-law's family, including his nephew who is 3. :) Then Thursday and Friday my mom and I went shopping both days, I know its kind of an oximoron to go shopping when your not at work making money... lol but what else is there to do on a day off... ;)

We found out that the new Aquatic Center is adults only from 11-1 everyday of the week.... OMG thanks for the heads up everyone.. :) jk.  I was bummed to not find out till now though cause I could have been there all week getting my workout in.... But we thought we would try it out saturday since we have never been there, we walked the lazy river for about an hour and half (what a GREAT workout).  Then we had a date night Saturday night, we went out to dinner and went to see the movie TED, (definately worth seeing!)
