just ‘cause i liked it: my outfit from last night! i went to ryan star’s album release show (buy his album! he’s talented and wonderful and some of the songs are really great workout music/inspiration) and saw lots of people i hadn’t seen since before i lost weight, and they fussed over me and i felt cute. :)

still 167, barf. it’s been almost two weeks. >:(
whateverrrrrr, something corporate tonight, fuck and yes.
eating: cupcake alternate-friday was a hit! i got my cupcake and it was yummy as hell. i can’t find calorie counts for cupcakes from that particular place online, but i counted it as 500 to be safe (it was pretty dainty so realistically i think it was probably more like 300-350ish) and that plus a nectarine was my lunch. i still have about 200 calories left for a snack later.
pictures: i posted a little bit of a…not really progress pictures but just a quick comparison earlier, in case you are interested/missed it. i had a friend in town from chicago last weekend and it was nice that i didn’t hate our picture together!
running: finished week 7 of couch to 5k today. it felt really good and i kept on running afterward to reach 5k in 37:21, which is like a minute off my previous fastest time! hells yeah. XD

W7D2 of couch to 5k today. it felt much better than monday, yay! i actually felt good enough that i did some more running/walking after my 25 minutes were done so i could reach 5k, which i did in 38:27. slow, but i’ll take it. :D my hope (fantasy? lol.) is to get down to around 30 minutes by the time i do my first actual 5k, but whatever, as long as i don’t finish dead last i’ll be psyched. hell, even finishing dead last, i’d be psyched, because that would mean i’d finished a 5k, you guys! for years, i always said “i only run if i’m being chased.” think about that!

Spinning
Jack's Mannequin
jack’s mannequin // spinning
i can’t remember when the earth turned slowly
so i just waited with the lights turned out again
i lost my place but i can’t stop this story
i’ve found my way, but until then
i’m only spinning
attended my first spin class; didn’t die! \o/ i did however sweat like a horse, wow. it was hard, but i actually really enjoyed it. i’ll be going again for sure. :D
finished W6D3 of couch to 5k! 5 minutes walking, 25 running, 5 walking.
it actually wasn’t too terrible, either. next week i’m going to work on increasing my speed a little; right now i’m doing a 12-minute mile, which isn’t horrible, but it’s pretty slow. my biggest problem with longer runs like that is that i get a little bored…which is why i should probably run outside instead of on a treadmill, but it’s just too hot for that.
my playlist today was pretty delightful, tho, and totally carried me through.
florence + the machine // blinding
fall out boy // xo
jet // are you gonna be my girl?
la roux // bulletproof
ludo // hum along
the postal service // such great heights
robbie williams // rock dj
vv brown // l.o.v.e.
the hold steady // stuck between stations
