I always claim that I'm more motivated than ever to be healthy, so I work out, and then I ruin it with junk food.
I'm guilty of something I hate most of other 'fit' people.
I made a resolution to eat clean, and I made it through the first 2 weeks of the year and then pretty much gave up.
So now I'm really determined. If I stopped giving up a year ago, I would be in a much better physical shape than I'm in now.
Now it's time to stop giving up. I'm determined to get through this.
I'm going to build my body up into the body it was meant to be.
I'm going to run my half marathon. I'm going to do the MS bike tour. And I'm going to have a diet that matches my athletic ability. My body deserves more than what I'm giving it at the moment.
So it starts now.
What's your promise to yourself?

Chips, chocolate and a movie.
PERFECT NIGHT IN.
Watched A Dangerous Method. Boy was it weird and kind of uneventful.
Keira Knightley is intense and incredibly good in it. The story sort of just follows her relationship with her doctor. A journey through the discovery and development of pyschoanalysis. Strange indeed.

Sooo... Would you like to go out tonight?
My bed is so comfy... I don't know I'll be able to get out of it.
What are you watching?
Once Upon A Time! The TV show!
Ohhh. That sounds like a pretty good show. I understand if you don't want to go out on a date with me tonight.
Well... You are pretty special. I might make the effort to get dressed.
Awwww. I'm special? That's awesome.
Okay fine. I'll get out of bed and go to the movie.

The story of how I took myself out on a date to the movies tonight. I'm watching A Dangerous Method because the line to the Descendants was far too long. Rolos in my mouth, cute little theatre? I'm good to go :)

My life is one of those pass time scenes in the movies where people bustle by but the camera never moves. You see people change, the season change, and the camera just sits there. I'm an observer of people. I feel like I'm at a standstill as everyone else lives their lives and I'm happy here. Just sitting, waiting, watching, listening, and enjoying.

Today was the most intense hot yoga class that I've had in a really long time.
The series of poses wasn't necessarily that hard, but it was the heat and humidity of the room.
I swear I managed to get heat exhaustion in the hour that I was in that room. By the time the last fifteen or so minutes of the class, I wanted to resign to child's pose, but I pushed through, had momentary dizziness that almost led to me falling over. I did resign to child's pose, but only long enough to gain enough energy to do a bit more.
I'm so motivated to lead my healthy life style and explore the fitness world.
Rock climbing is definitely in the books. As well as a half marathon. And probably biking when summer comes along. I want to bike to work, which would probably take a solid hour in the morning? Triathlon here I come :)

It has come to my attention that I haven't blogged about anything in a really long time.
So here comes a long blog about probably nothing important, but here it is nonetheless.
My weekend started off with me finishing work, going home, and eating chili while drinking beer and watching Hanna I think. Or was it something else? I don't overly remember. I think it was. I took a nap afterwards, and then got up and got ready to go to Mandy's boyfriend's band's concert. They are called No Witness and were playing in a lineup of 5 bands total, all sort of a heavy rock, screamo music types.
I picked up Shane at Wes' house, then picked up Rachelle at her place, and we all started driving towards Avenue theatre (shady, I know). Rachelle was hungry, so we went to Westmount to find something to eat, except she is picky but doesn't say no to things, so we stopped at Safeway, but she didn't want anything, and I had to make all these random stops until finally she got a veggie burger at A&W. Blah. Grumpy friends are no fun.
They both didn't seem to enjoy the concert, but I know I would have had more fun if I had gone alone and just appreciated the music instead of having to worry about two other grumps. I'm noticing that I'm having extremely antisocial tendencies these days. Everyone that I hang out with seems to irritate me. For example, I go to work out at the gym with Emily, but then she doesn't push herself hard enough, cancels out her work outs right after by eating greasy food for her after work out meal, and asks me stupid questions about how to eat properly when I know she won't do it anyways. Rachelle makes me angry because she is moody and sometimes when she gets drunk, she becomes a mega-beeyotch. And Shane is boring. Just plain boring. Josh I don't ever get to see which makes me a sad panda. People at work bother me because their lives are too school oriented and they forget that life is more than just going to school and studying. Eric bothers me because I've only hung out with him once and he bitches to me about annoying girls in his labs and how much homework he has. BLAH. Why can't people get past all the stupid little things and just appreciate everything? I mean, I'm guilty of keeping grudges for no reason, and for acting stupid over nothing, but at least I try my best to get over them.
Saturday, I went to the farmers market, which I am now obsessed with, and then volunteered. Our store offers awful awful awful customer service. No wonder people don't like coming back to the store in Edmonton. Ugh. Then I got to go home! I got to see my fam jam, and talked to them, and then I went on a date with Josh!
We went for Indian food and then to the Devil Inside which was a really crappy movie. Josh is so cute and makes me laugh. He dressed up in a nice purple dress shirt and khakis for our date. And then I took him to a liquor store so he could get boozed up with his friends later that night. The nice thing about our relationship? We both don't try to control each other and understand the fact that we have lives separate from each other. Phew!
I went home that night and watched West Side Story with Amanda until we got too tired and went to bed. Then on Saturday, we made a trip to Superstore, went to Di Yee's for lunch, and watched lion dances at the mall in celebration of Chinese New Year! I want to do lion dances so badly! But that would mean I need to stop volunteering in order to make time for it, and volunteering takes priority in my mind. Then we had a giant feast with the other half of our family :P and then I drove home.
I was really sad last night when I left home, and am still feeling a little glum, but I will survive!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

It's not only the melting glaciers and rising sea level that we need to be concerned about. It's the melting of the permafrost in the northern latitudes that can release carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide saturation of the oceans and trees that will lead to all the gas produced to remain in the atmosphere, thus accelerating the greenhouse effect.

There are some kids from my engineering classes that are in my Ground Disturbances training today. They are absolutely the most annoying people ever. Ugh.
But on the bright side, my sexy teacher from my H2S training is teaching again. Course number 2 with him. He is Greek and sexy. Oh, did I mention that he's sexy?
I was in a horrible mood last night and then Josh made me sad because he got mad at me for no reason and said I called him stupid but I didn't and was just making a joke about him liking chunky girls. Apparently the joke was confusing. He made me cry. What a poo face.
The weather is dreadful but for some reason I like it. When I think of winters, I think of weather like this. The kind that nips at your nose and legs as you walk 2 blocks to your friend's house. The kind where you just want to read and drink tea all day. Where the floors are cold on your bare feet but you don't put on slippers because as much as you hate how cold the floor is, you also love it.
I like the cold. The snow is beautiful.
It's days like these where I feel like I'm growing as a person. Because when everyone is hating the weather and each other, I'm able to embrace the fact that this is life and I love it even when it sucks.

Bad karma bad karma bad karma.
I have bad karma for being a bad girl.
For constantly kissing other boys while being with Josh.
For talking smack about people behind their backs.
For being two faced.
Must stop this bull and be a nicer person.
Tabitha cancelled on me for the City and Colour concert on the 26th because she thought it was on the 25th, the Wednesday, and therefore she would not have a lab the day after at 8 30 a.m. to go to.
POO. But my awesome sis Mandy pants will be coming instead :)
Made vegetarian chili today but it is lacking flavor due to me using fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones.
Gotta go to choir now!

Last night was my United Cycle Christmas party.
OH MAN WAS IT FUN!
The night started with Rachelle and I missing our bus to the venue which was the German Cultural Center, so by the time we got there, dinner was already being served and there were no more spots at the running/activewear table. So we sat down at our own table, happy that we each got our own bottle of wine to drink for the night. AND 2 free drink tickets.
But some lovely ladies decided that it wasn't right for us to sit by ourselves, so we got moved to another table, which ended up being some of the big bosses and a few employees.
Dinner was okay, speeches were boring, but then there were door prizes!
GUESS WHO WON GOLD SEAT TICKETS TO THE OILERS GAME AGAINST COLORADO ON THE 31ST?! ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Value of 229 dollars per ticket) Plus a 25 dollar food voucher :)
After the door prizes, there was a dance, but no one was dancing.
So Rachelle and I continued drinking, and once we were tipsy enough, we started introducing ourselves to all the randoms we could find, including my 'workplace boyfriend' as deemed by Mandy who I work with, who is named Stephan and from Quebec and super francais! We had a pushup contest. I beat him because then people started sitting on him because then his hips touched the ground and that counted as losing. HAHA. Funny. From that point onwards, Rachelle and I were the center of attention for all the boys in the crowd.
I stole some guys top hat, well I actually asked him politely and he gave it to me, but then his friend came to steal it back and he was cute too! His name is Logan and he was really nice and drank a lot of wine with me.
After all that, we joined the dance floor which had livened up a little and danced the night away. I danced with Stephan ;) It was kind of awesome... And then the night was over and the venue said it was time to leave :( So sad. I got Stephan's number. Hehe. But we got invited to Nick's house for an after party and decided to go to that. The cabs didn't show up for ever! I ended up talking to Logan while we were waiting for the cabs, so I got his number too! I have a thing for 18 year olds. So by the time we got a cab, Nick had decided he was going to go to a pub on Whyte instead, and Rachelle and I both went home. I don't really remember getting home :S
SO MUCH FUN.
I love United Cycle now. Even though they don't trust us, I don't care when they give us free booze and sweet door prizes.

SO many people miss the point of life.
It's not to be so absorbed in work or school that you forget to live.
Remember to appreciate the feeling of a good workout if that's what you want. Or to appreciate the taste of Macdonalds. Or to appreciate the hug you get from a friend. Or that first kiss that doesn't seem to leave your mind. Or the feeling you get from putting in an extra hour of your time to make someone else feel that much better.
Love yourself. Entirely.
From your toes to the top of your head.
From the inside to the outside.
From your laugh to your weird freckle.
Love everything that you've been given.
And from there, you can begin to love everything else.

I have made the official decision to run a half marathon.
It is the Edmonton Police Foundation Marathon: http://epfhalfmarathon.ca/
I hope I can force myself to train for it :S

This is a Pulis dog. They are awesome. Eric and I talked about animals for a long time last night.
Our date last night was good actually. We were at the restaurant for 4 hours! I met him at Culina just off Saskatchewan drive last night at 7 and didn't leave til a little bit after 11. It was good conversation. He did not look like what I thought he looked like at all. My best description of him would be that he has short brown hair, average frame, about 5'9", and stereotypical white man look to him? My description sucks. He isn't overly attractive and not unattractive either. Although his vampire teeth deter me a little bit from being attracted him.
We had delicious food. He had blue cheese and chocolate sauce on a steak on top of mashed potatoes, and I had something called Moroccan Vegetable Tagine. It was a spicy, red sauced, rich sauce on top of couscous with a variety of vegetables in the sauce. It was delicious. And then we shared a desert of chocolate cake with whipped goat cheese and pepita brittle on top. That was also incredibly good.
I like that restaurant! I offered to pay my half but he said he would do it the 'old-school way' and pay for it all. How nice! And then he walked me to my car and we hugged and left it at that.
Overall rating of the night: uhhh... 8? I guess. For the night, but my attraction to him is minimal and I feel no chemistry with him. But! He gets bonus points for owning a cat named Monster. Pretty cool. And for wearing a dress shirt and trying to look nice, although I think the shirt was a tad bit small.

So this week has been pretty busy so far.
On Monday, I had my H2S Alive training, and I went to the gym right after. I saw Abhishek and Pat at the gym. They are both idiots. I found out that I lift a higher weight of free weight than Abhishek. And afterwards, I had choir which was fun, but I think I'm getting sick of the music since we've been practicing it for so long.
On Tuesday, I went to work and was busy all day working on some borehole logs. Then I came home and relaxed for a bit before going to the gym with Emily. We had a good workout. She's definitely motivated to work out, but I'm afraid that she isn't pushing herself enough, yet I don't want to push her until after a month or so in the gym. Afterwards, we went to a pub downtown and had some dinner and drinks.
I thought they had their whole menu, but since they opened, they only had a whole bunch of meat products on their menu, and I had 2 choices. Edamame beans or olive and bread. So I got olives, and I got two big bowls of olives for two tiny slices of focaccia bread. Someone needs to re-think that menu item. Oh well!
Today, I have work all day, and then work at United Cycle right after at 5 30 to 9 15. I am then going to come home, do some yoga, and go to bed.
Tomorrow, I have work all day, then I'll get ready for dinner with the guy I met on New Years Eve named Eric. We are going to Culina's which I've never been to, but it should be good. I don't even remember what Eric looks like, so that should be interesting... Haha.
So far this year, I've only run 5 kilometers. But at least it's a start. When I was at the gym yesterday, I was wondering why 2 miles was so hard to run, until I remembered that I donated blood on Saturday and that I've worked out every day since then. HEHE.
Hope you're all having good weeks as well!

Went to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last night and fell asleep for a couple minutes in it. Haha. Apparently I started snoring. But it was a good movie! Rachelle and I hit up IKEA and I bought nothing, and then we went to Moxies for food appies and dessert and drinks, and then to the movies.
This morning I was supposed to go work out at 9 am with Emily, but she texted me saying she was sick, so I slept in because I was exhausted. Most likely from donating blood yesterday. So then I called in sick to work because I wanted a day off this week, even though I only had 4 days of real work last week, I didn't feel like going today. Plus I'm still super tired even though I slept in and had about 9 hours of sleep. Still feeling effects of blood loss probably.
The plan for today, lie in be all day and take a 2 hour break from bed to go to Sunday Detox Hot Yoga! Wash sheets and clean my room and sleep. Oh sleep, I've missed you.

Plus I'm still super tired even though I slept in and had about 9 hours of sleep. Still feeling effects of blood loss probably.
The plan for today, lie in be all day and take a 2 hour break from bed to go to Sunday Detox Hot Yoga! Wash sheets and clean my room and sleep. Oh sleep, I've missed you.

Have a knockout Friday! And maybe some hot man or woman at night :)
It's official. I don't think I could ever date someone who doesn't work out and worry about eating right.
I've been through my chips, candy, eat junk phase, and I'm ready to get in the best nutritional and physical shape I've ever been in. My junk food this week consisted of maybe a few too many chocolates and deep fried seafood from Red Lobster and a few too many beers. No chips though, and I didn't eat a complete meal of junk.
I've gotten 7 servings of fruit/veggies a day, taken my iron and multivitamin, and drank milk or ate greek yogurt each day to get dairy. Protein? Seafood and yogurt and almonds. I feel like I'm doing well so far!
Worked out on Wednesday with Emily. Going to hot yoga tonight. Did situps everyday except Tuesday this week to work on my abbies. Work time!

First day of work today.
It went well. I didn't do anything fun but filled out paperwork, etc.
No cute boys :(
Fun girls though. Potential friends? I hope so.
Guy from New Years Eve texted me and asked me out for coffee.
Don't really want to go, but I said I would give everyone a chance even if I didn't really want to. It's a New Years thing.
We'll see how it goes.
Officially over prof guy. Tried to ditch the fool and he didn't take me seriously.
Now ignoring him until he gets the point.
HA. I'm awful.

"Let 2012 be a year of new experiences and the year of growing up. Let it take you places that you've never been before, and let it take you back to places you've been before but that you will see in a different light. Say yes to things you you wouldn't have ever say yes to before. Stand up for your beliefs and feel the power of living. Just living. Don't let this year pass without the things you deserve. The goals, the dreams, the desires you have for 2012? In December, they'll be fond memories. You just need to go after what you want."
New Years was a blast.
There was dancing.
There was chanting (Shout Out out out out!!!)
There was flirting.
There was eye rolling.
There were butt slaps.
There was the countdown! But no make out sessions. Just kisses on the cheek to the boys we were dancing with.
There was Rachelle and I harassing people who cut in line for coat check in front of us.
There was me giving my number to a random.
There were frowns.
There were smiles.
And most of all, there was fun between two best friends :)
