Goodbye Lent, Hello Carbs!

Easter was yesterday, so that means Lent is over and I can have CARBS again!

Well I didnt give up all carbs, I tried to keep it under 20 grams everyday.

I must admit that I cheated a little bit a couple times, its really easy to mess up your whole day with just one thing - like 1 banana was over my whole days worth of carbs.

But I think I did pretty good overall!

Anyway so now that its over I'm just being a maniac for carbs, but I dont want to gain back all of the 13lbs (whoop whoop Lent for Jesus and health :p) that I lost, obviously.

So I think I'm going to indulge in a little bit of carb love until wednesday and then start a new less strict little diet and work out plan.

Who's with me?

I haven't figured out all the details yet but when I do I'll probably post them on here, so I anyone cares they can join too, or give tips!

How was your lent if you did it? And how was your Easter?

P.S. If anyone is doing low carb right now and you find it hard to keep track of your daily intake, try the DailyCarb app, thats what I used and it is so useful! It keeps track of carbs, calories, water, etc. and it has a huge database of food to choose from or you can add your own!

Work it, Run it, Watch it

I have my first test of the semester this Thursday, an annotated bibliography due next Tuesday, and I have to have my thesis advisor picked out and ready to sign an agreement by the following Thursday...

Have I done any preparation for these tasks?

None whatsoever.

But that's ok, right?

I'll admit it, I have been procrastinating non stop and this weekend would have been a wonderful time to get stuff done since I no longer have my apartment in the Classic City :( and downtown wasn't calling my name.

Actually that's a lie. My sister and I went downtown Friday, but just to dinner NOT to go out. : P

Anyway, since I got very little done this weekend (oh P.S. I'm including Mondays into the weekend now because I'm THAT procrastinatory), I have to get things done today!

But of course after I went to class, I had to do something before just diving into more school work.

So I actually did something productive (even though it still isn't school stuff)!

I worked out. I planned to crank up my iTunes and run out my feelings (Ha!), but I saw Friends with Benefits was on and I love that movie. Instead of being a fatty and sitting down and watching it, I did a "no gym required" workout from Pinterest, while I watched the movie.

(Weird? Maybe, but Mila Kunis is still Black Swan skinny in it and that is some major inspiration)

 I kind of thought it would be easy and not that intense, but let me tell you: I felt the burn and I still feel it. But that could be the fact that I haven't worked out more than walking to class and the refrigerator in weeks!

I also noticed how old and dirty my running shoes are starting to look, which is weird because of their lack of use. (Ba dumbum tsss)

So I was browsing around on Zappos.com and found some that I thought were cute (because lets be honest, these are going to see campus during class time way more than the treadmill):

These Newton Running shoes are the prettiest sherberty sporty shoes I've ever laid my eyes on.

(via)

These Nike's are similar to the ones I have now, which I liked a lot at first.

And at $65 they're about half the price of the Newton's above.

I think these are adorable, you can never go wrong with pink and black or red and black (they come in either). They also got a pretty high customer rating!

I think these Brooks' might be the winner, I really liked some old Brooks shoes I had and they also go a 5/5 review.

I might go waste time at brick and mortar store and investigate a little more. Haha.

What's your favorite running shoe? Or what's your favorite way to work out? I'd love suggestions!

P.S. Here's some inspiration if you need it!
