Ohh hey I've been MIA

Hey Fellow Bloggers (9 to be exact)..

It's been awhile...Almost 5 months actually. I decided to re-enter the "blogosphere" because reading all of your blogs every day has given me some inspiration to start writing again.

Oh and I got internet at my apartment...Been a long 6 months without it, I actually think my vision has gotten worse from squinting to look at my iphone for endless hours. 

As I write..I look out my sliding door to see sunshine,birds flying around...oh and the sounds of screaming children about 5 of them to be exact. I finally had to close it to block out the noise. They play in the apartment complex parking lot next to me... Real safe I tell ya, never really see any parents but I do hear them screaming from their balconies! Will someone remind me next time not to decide on the second apartment I look at that is the one? Because this place is ghetto.. Can't wait to get out of here in August! Between the few ants scurrying around in my apartment (yeah gross) , loud neighbors, no parking for visitors because everyone has 1,2 or 3 cars, disrespectful punks with their loud motorcycles, "fart can" cars, and diesel trucks..I have about had it with this place! 

On other news, I started my "Couch to 5k Training" today. I've ran across quite a few articles about how to train yourself to run and I've always wanted to do it so with it getting nicer out and me gaining a few pounds the last few months, I decided now was the time! I was going to just go off a chart that I found online that outlines the intervals of running and walking each day, slowly progressing to when you can run 3.10 miles (that's a 5k apparently, never knew that) in about 9 weeks. 

But..instead of using the chart and having to pay attention to a stop watch, trying to pick my music, and just the whole feat of running in general.. I decided to go with an app on my phone. Seriously best $2 I ever spent. It guides you through the whole thing with a sweet lady named Constance telling you when to run and when to walk. Here is my 1st day complete, felt like I was gonna die but damn did it feel good after! And no Active.com I will not be posting this to Facebook...Maybe when I can run 3 miles in a reasonable amount of time I will!

Well 1 last thing before I finish up this episode of Law and Order, here are my pics for my new workout purchases I made.Yes I run 1 day and decide I need new workout stuff. All this stuff for $74 (Regular Price total would be about $155), not to bad! Probably could have been a bit cheaper but I'm a brat and only like Nike and Adidas.. :) 

Nike Shorts $12.99 Reg. $30
Just ignore my dorky facial expression lol. 

Roxy Tank $12.99 Reg. $26
Adidas Capris $19.99 Reg. 40 

Nike Tee $9.99 Reg. $28 

Nike Dri-Fit Tee $12.99 Reg. $30

Pretty excited to wear my new stuff and not sweat like a pig  like I did today. All the stuff I bought, I made sure that it was "Dri-Fit", I read somewhere or something  this is the best way to go because it keeps you cool and pulls away sweat instead of clinging to you like most things. And hey its good to look forward to a work out when you like your workout clothes! Maybe someday I'll buy myself some lululemon gear but for now it's Tj Maxx.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow with updates on my new job(s)!
