Im Back!!!

Hi guys! I'm back! I know I know... I haven't been consistent with this blog... >< It's been too long! Right after the last few Disney World posts Mr. M and I went on a several more WDW trips and it was getting difficult to keep up with that and my school work... (first world problem, I know...)

So let's play a little catch up! Right now I am working and going to school full time. Actually I'm in class as we speak! My group and I are supposed to be working on our power point presentation, but we're procrastinating a little bit, haha. My schedule's been pretty hectic lately, and on top of that I got pretty sick just last week during another WDW trip, and that didn't help... Juggling work and school full time is no joke, and that's why my diet's been going down the drain. But if I can tell you one thing about myself, is that even if I get discouraged at first, I usually end up surprising myself by accomplishing goals that I really set my mind to. The most recent example of that would be... I completed my first half marathon!!! I love how my first was a princess theme ^^

The Good Idea

Hello everyone! So if you've been reading my blog, you know that I've done several 5k runs. My first one was last November, the USC prostate cancer run.

NSV: A First Time S6

Happy weekend!!! Update on my weight loss journey! By the way, NSV means non scale victory. I finally got my self into a size 6 pair of jeans!!! This is the smallest size I have ever been! Well maybe since I was like in 9th grade... Yea I know, I was big already. The thing is, when I was little, I was really skinny. To the point where you can see my rib cage.

Fighting Women's Cancer

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend! It was such a fun-filled one for me, but if I'm going to write everything about it, it'll be too long, and I don't want to bore you all. I know my posts have been incredibly long, but bare with me, I'm still trying to get used to this. So let's start with the Revlon Run/Walk for women's cancer that my friend and I did on Saturday morning. For those who have read my previous post, I signed up for this event with the goal of raising $250 that I reached within a day, because I have such great family and friends!!! But I wanted to see if I could do better and raised my goal to $500. By the day of, I reached $525. My faith in humanity has been restored once again lol. So I'd like to thank everyone that donated on my behalf, I am truly blessed to have you all in my life. I did this for my aunt that we lost to breast cancer 11 years ago, and for all the women out there.

Saving the TATAS!

Good evening to you all! I wasn't planning on making this a daily thing, thinking "ohhh no one's gonna read it anyway, wouldn't wanna bore people" but I had to slap myself for having any negative thoughts lol. I have just registered to participate in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women's Cancer, on May 12th. Not many people know this, but I lost an aunt many years ago to breast cancer, and I've always wanted to do something for the cause, just not sure what I could do. A friend of mine is doing the run and is also fundraising and I thought it would be great if I could do it too. This is going to be my third 5k run, the first was in November 2011 for prostate cancer, so its kind of fitting that now its for women's cancer, haha, and the second one was in January for the Disney Peter Pan Family Fun Run. If anyone would like to help support me with fundraising, please donate here Support Jessica! Any gift is welcomed, nothing is too small and it will be greatly appreciated =]

Aside from wanting to do it for a good cause, it is a great way to maintain your health. I run 5k 4 days a week and am planning on either long distance cycling or swimming on the weekend soon. For those who knew me way back when I was middle and high school, I could not continuously run to save my life. Remember the weekly mile run during PE? Yea, I always hope to God that it would rain that day so that we won't have to run... When we do, I would try to run for 10 seconds and my sides started hurting and so I ended up walking the rest of the way and be almost the last one to finish. It's been this way until last August, when I was at my highest weight, that my dear boyfriend suggested this running program called C25K, which stands for "Couch to 5K", it means exactly that, from being on your ass doing nothing, to running a 5K. If you told me at the beginning that I would be able to run for 30 minutes continuously, I would've slapped your back real hard and laughed saying that's impossible. But there goes my negativity again... Now I do it as a daily workout. My fitness have improved so much since then and its all thanks to my boyfriend, but of course I'm not completely done. I still aspire to do much much more, for example, my boyfriend does a century (100 miles) bike ride almost every weekend. Now doesn't that sound crazy??? It certainly did to me... But there it is.
