Long Time No Bloggy...

I haven't had time to post in a while, because I have been working a lot! YAY! Also, I'm training to do a 5K on my and Nita's birthday, Sunday, February 28th! I've been recruited by my friends, Roxanne, Michelle, and Nita to do a run/walk with a distance of either 10K or a 5K in Downtown LA, through Chinatown and around Dodger Stadium. This means a lot of hills for someone (i.e. ME), who is less than a runner. I am not built for running/jogging/fast walking. I am a swimmer, which is a whole 'nother world, if you know what I mean!

As far as doing the event, I have decided I would do it [just need to register :)], but whether it will be a 5K run or walk will be determined by my dedication to my workout regimen and meal plan! I've enlisted my friend, Helen, to be my workout buddy. All this week I have been really good with the workouts. I continued going to my Monday/Wednesday aerobics class, and we even scored a week pass at the YMCA. I really need to work on my eating plan. I do really well when I am not as busy, but in between work and the gym, it is difficult to choke down a decent/healthy option. I need to find a balance. My pass is up for next week, and I need to use my resources around me, i.e. walking the trail, running laps at the school, and take advantage of my overflowing library of exercise videos/ball/ weights!! Wish me luck! I have 6 weeks to make a dent in my training and building my endurance. I downloaded this plan from the Fitness Magazine website. ENJOY!

Happy New Year 2010

My New Years was great! My friends and I went to a loft in Downtown LA to celebrate. We ended 2009 and started 2010 on the rooftop, overlooking the bright lights and big city that we call home! I was happy to be celebrating with my great friends, and cannot wait to see what is in store for 2010!

This is my FOTN:



























SLO trip and Christmas FOTD!

These pictures are from my trip to SLO. We stayed at our friends, Amanda and Bret's home in Arroyo Grande. They had this little dive bar down the street that we hit up Saturday and Sunday. Apparently, I was a little too high maintenance for this place, but I had my eyes on a certain someone that was a no show! :( Nonetheless, we had a great time. On Saturday, we met a lot of people and had fun walking in the rain back and forth between Bill's and R&D's. On Sunday, we took a trip around town, and then ended up back at R&D's. We had the entire bar to ourselves, good drinks, and sang karaoke!






This is my friend I met during our day tour around Pismo Beach, San Luis Port, San Luis Obispo, and Madonna Inn! I don't think he was as happy to see me as I was to see him!
