I have less than 5 months until I am 30 and to complete my 30 awesome activities. It is so fascinating and at times frustrating how time flies. I can remember writing my first blog on April 9th marking how I have 8 months to go and here I am 3 months down months writing about 5 more months left. Good goodness where does the time go.
Now on to the ever lovely update of my life and list thus far. Since you can view my 30 by 30 list by looking at my initial post I will not rewrite all of that stuff like I did before. But let me give you a glimpse of my life since last month:
I visited a different state!! That puts my total up to 16. Kara, Heather and I went to West Virginia where I got the awesome nickname Little Sizzle. Thanks to a news broadcast and our love of American Gladitors we all came up with names. I love my nickname so much that I think I embarrassed Kara by singing "I'm a little sizzle" while at Snowshoe, WV. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but it was super funny. Due to this being an update and suposedly brief, I will dedicate an entire posting to West Virginia later this week.
Anyways, while in West Virginia I did my crazy thing. The definition of crazy takes many forms, but the one that applies to any activity that I decide to do would be: foolish or impractical; senseless. So what did I do you wonder? I took part in The Mystery Hole located in Ansted, West Virginia on July 3rd.Why was it crazy? Because it just was. I went in a happy, energetic person and walked out feeling like I was drunk without the fun act of getting drunk. It was horrible and the feeling of sickness lasted pretty much the entire day and night. Granted the feeling got better as the day wore on, but honestly going to bed for the night was the only relief. I was so thankful waking up the next morning feeling 100%. It is so weird how that activity really impacted me. But I was happy that I was not the only one. Heather handled it like a champ, but me and Kara were not so lucky. For the entire day if someone mentioned Mystery I felt like I was going to puke. Like I said not a good feeling, but crazy activity is marked off. Don't get me wrong if I come across another activity that I deem crazy I will still do it, but I can rest easy knowing that crazy activity is complete.
So what made this activity crazy, foolish, senseless, or impractical? Well because I paid $6 to get sick. I paid $6 to go to the bottom of the shack and even though I was vertical, I was at a slanted version. It was really weird. There was one point when I wanted to push men, women and children out of the way so that I could get out. But I refrained. Kara on the other hand made a boy a man by grabbing his head and securing it on her breast. By far the funniest thing that happened in the Hole. I really can not explain the activity, which is why I attached the link. It was bizarre, sickening, and horrible. I would never do that again. Ever.
Another activity that I made progress on is cooking my meals. I made 2 awesome dinners over the weekend. Yummy, yummy, I will blog about them later on also. I feel like I have so much blogging to do now. :)
As for more accomplishments, I weighed myself today and after my month or more hiatus of working out and eating better, I am back on track. I lost 2.2 lbs last week putting my total lost at 5.8lbs and needing to lose 14.2lbs more in less than 5 months. I would say that I should have challenged myself into losing more weight, but I know me and my patterns. 20lbs will definitely be difficult but worth it and attainable.
As for the marathon, I did post about that my progress last week but in our running group on Saturday, we ran for 7 miles. I am so proud of how far I have come. Granted I did not run the whole time, I am still in my 3 and 1 group but I survived. I am even strength training 3 days a week to hopefully get my body toned and let's face it, everyone knows that strength training is by far the best way to lose weight. I also have been doing my shake weight which has been helpful also. It is a trial basis, if I don't see improvement in my chest and arms by September 3 it is going back. That will give me 60 days from the time I brought it to see a difference. I do hope it works because Kara laughed at me when I bought it.
I guess that is really all for the updates so far. I am making progress and am very happy with my results. I still have a lot more to accomplish (I have truly only completed 6 activities) but I am optimistic that I will get it done :) Well, until I write in you again.....
