I'm. Sick. (and tired of resting!!!!!)

WHOA! It has been awhile that I've blogged, but I guess I fell off for awhile. Don't worry....I kept to my working out at least 4 times a week, and still am eating pretty healthy. But I had to REST my back for a whole week because it still has been bugging me. I went to see the doctor last week, but it was pointless! I worked out after a whole week of rest, and it felt like I hurt my back AGAIN and now I might have pinched my sciatic nerve =(. It's not only my back aching anymore, but also my left butt cheek down to my feet sometimes! It's not horrible, but I can feel a difference. I wish I would figure out what was wrong before it gets worse. Well, enough about the stupid resting back situations.... Back to the fun!

I have been on a yogurt craze, I'm hooked! I don't indulge in chocolates, brownies, cookie dough and whip cream anymore.. instead, I eat fruits.. yum! 

Not the best picture, but I'll be sure to take a better one very soon.

I went back to the gym on Monday, 2 days ago...and I felt sooo good.  I thought that I would be out of shape, tired and out of breath, but to my surprise.. I was running like I never took that 7-day rest! I had to make myself run at a speed of 4.0 instead of 5.8 because my stupid back. I'm also trying to get sexy, sexy arms! People don't want to underestimate my scrawny arms, because once I flex.. oh, hello miss bicep ;) HAHA. I want to lift at least 3x a week, but that hasn't happened.. So, my new love.. weights!

BTW, check out my hot red nails ;) haha. Ok, maybe I'm a little delirious because I'm so sleepy. Cory and Tone went to the gym without me.. why? because "you need to rest" blah blah blah! I can't work out until Monday, that's 3 days! My 21-day Challenge got me a little crazy for working out, but it feels so good!

On Wednesday, I came into a beautiful surprise! Cory is surprisingly..well.. a sweetheart. haha, weird! He got me 2 dozen flowers for an Early birthday, mothers day, and graduation. He wanted to be the first to tell me, along with Buddy, and our 7 lizards; Fat Girl, Spotz, Yayo, BEAST, White Girl, DC and Lizzy. It truly made my day, and he really does live up to his name BBFITW-Best BoyFriend In The World =)

It is my birthday month.. and this birthday is a big one! I'll be A Quarter of a Century on May 12th! That was another big reason I started my challenge.. because I new I was turning 25.. and I didn't want to be that person that "let go" of themselves, simply do to old age.. I know, I know, 25 isn't old. But at the age I'm at now, it is crucial to eat right and exercise to set my standards when I'm in my 30s and 40s. I bought a Bebe dress, that was a size TOO small. I bought it smaller purposely, in hopes that I would be down to my goal weight. I didn't get down to my goal weight, but who cares anymore. I feel good, and I definitely toned out. It came in the mail on Monday and guess what? It fit! It fit really good!

I will be sure to post pictures that night I actually go out! I'm so excited! I just hope I still fit it with all this resting! Ok, I'm going to get to some homework now.. and I promise to myself that I will blog more often.. to see where I stand with, well... me =)
