It was my brother's birthday on February 17th, and we had a little family get together. Nothing big.. The parties don't get all that big once we get older.. lol.
I got him this fruit cake from M&W Dutch American Bakery and some red velvet cupcakes. And for his gift I got him some Van shoes. It was raining that day, it always rains on his birthday.. So doing errands in the rain was not fun!
My parents.. hahah
My boyfriend, who also has a February birthday
The fambam.. i look like a total tom-boy
Alright, so I'm on my president's day weekend sorta vacation and i'm trying my best to workout every single day. Except today was rest day. On Thursday I did turbojam fat blaster, then on Friday I did Turbofire 45 class. The week before that I've also been trying to run. Last Saturday I ran 2 miles non-stop, which is a pretty good accomplishment for me. I have to prep myself up for a 13. something mile in October for the Nike Woman's Marathon to raise funds and awareness for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
What's making me feel motivated about this run is because my brother passed away from Leukemia when he was 3 and half. So me, my brother and cousins will be running in honor of him.
I hope I can do this!! It's going to be an obstacle for me because i've never ran more than 2 miles before.. 13 miles seems forever. lol!! But I have nothing to complain about, this is all for a good cause!!
That's what my workouts consist of so far. being a new nursing student, it's hard to put in hours for workouts. My classes usually run from 8am to 4pm, and I get home eat, shower then study, and have to sleep early to wake up at 8am the next morning and do the same thign over. Then on Thursday, I have to go to my clinical site in Vallejo from 7-3. Yeah it's pretty tough.. but that's nursing school for you!! I just don't want to gain any weight!! NO MORE! lol!
This is from my 2 mile run. I burned 636 calories.
lookin' all jacked up after my run. haha! oh well, it ain't always about looking pretty. shooot.. I have nothing to hide..
This is after my turbo fire work out! hahah class 45
I'll be off school end of April, So hopefully I can make more videos and updates on this blog and my youtube channel!
After I got my haircut, which was just a trim because i had severe dead ends, I hung out with my cousin and elbert and cheska. We headed over to the park to buy some food from these out door vendors. yum-a-licious!
OLD NAVY CARGO PANTS!
I got up a bit early today before my hair appointment and ran 2 miles. I'm loving my new running shoes! they feel great! I was also jammin' to Nicki Minaj Pink Friday album on my ipod nano. I like the new upgraded ipod nano because it comes with a clip in the back to clip onto your clothing while you work out. It's also very light and small great for workouts!
I didn't realize I matched with my shoes. lol.
looking very unattractive here.
mm.. this is one of my most favorite Cambodian dishes. la la la love it!!
My darn Juicy wallet broke. ehh!! So I headed over to Macy's to find another wallet. My boyfriend chose this wallet for me! It's too cute!!! LOVE IT!!
It's by fossil.
My suggested these running shoes by ASICS which were the kayano ones. We're all going to run a 13.something.. lol marathon sometime in October I think, it's the Nike Woman Marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. We're running it in honor of my brother who passed away from leukemia when he was 3. So we're going to form a group filled with cousins and run it.
I went to Lady's foot locker and saw some ASICS shoes. I tried the Kayano and the Nimbus and both we're comfortable! The gel cushion is sooooo comfortable! Except, I had to get a half size bigger which were in stock for the Nimbus but not the Kayano. Gosh, these shoes a just unbelievably comfy!! I can't even explain!!! I can't wait to start running in these.
