<br />It's been a long time. My last post was just about a year ago. It's crazy how time goes by.<br />
<br />
I never meant to abandon my blog but I also was not doing very much exciting. I wasn't working out anymore and honestly I didn't want anyone to know. but here we are again. Same story. I NEED to lose this weight again. It's not me. I'm not my happiest. But I'm ready.<br />
<br />
I started playing disc golf more seriously than I ever have. You know, going to tournaments and practicing almost everyday. It has definitely paid off. I recently won the Texas Women's Disc Golf Championship in the Recreational division. That was my first tournament and I won! I couldn't believe it but it definitely was one of the more happier times in my life.<br />

I also recently competed in the Women's Global Event. Ladies from all over the world played two rounds at their designated course and we were ranked based on course difficulty. I ended up 41st out of over 350 girls. This was only my second tournament.<br />

<br />
Now I'm just ready to keep competing. I've got a couple tournaments in the next months that I'm really looking forward to and can't wait to post those results here!<br />
<br />
Have you ever played disc golf before?<br />
<br />
Is there any competition/race that you are getting ready for?renae.nicholehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13174020586971906124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403755977201355749.post-42197580567007342702015-06-18T09:28:00.003-07:002015-06-18T09:28:51.031-07:00HCG Diet - 14 pounds DownI figured I should update you guys a little. The last time I posted I was only down about 4.6 pounds. Today I am down 14.1 pounds. It's crazy! I've just been sticking with the diet and I feel so good. My body definitely needed this.<br />
<br />
In addition to the diet, I'm starting to go the gym again doing weight circuits. I won't try running until I'm in the maintenance phase of the HCG diet. I'm going to definitely start incorporating some yoga into my workouts. I am the most inflexible person I know. It actually hurts for me to bend down on my knees and my hamstrings are super tight.<br />
<br />
<br />
After the diet my plan is to pick up running again but not as much as I used to. I want to focus on weights. <br />
<br />
This weekend we went camping for the first time in forever. As you may or may not know, Texas got a lot of rain in the month of May and our lakes went from 30% full to 80% full.<br />
<br />
There's a good and a bad to that story.<br />
<br />
<b>The Bad - My Backyard</b><br />

<b>The Good - Texas Lakes</b> <br />
<br />
It was so nice to be back on the lake where I spent so much of my youth. I really wanted to soak in the moment by drinking a beer. But I refrained. It's been 18 days since my last beer. And that says a lot coming from the girl who had at least one drink everyday.<br />
<br />
I'm very proud of myself and it helps so much having Drew be so supportive as well. Although, there are some days when he eats chick-fil-a right in front of me. But that's okay. It just proves how much stronger I am now then I was before. I would have suckered down and ate a chicken sandwich about 3 weeks ago. But I'm now at a place where it doesn't bother me as much. Don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of cravings (chickfila, pizza, bacon cheese burgers) but in the end, I know whats best for me.<br />

<br />
1 - Pound of tomatillos<br />
1 - Jalapeno<br />
2 - Serrano peppers<br />
2 - Limes (just the juice)<br />
1 - Yellow Onion<br />
1 tbsp - Minced Garlic<br />
1 tsp - Sea Salt<br />
1 tsp -Ground Comino <br />
1 tbsp Chicken Bullion<br />
about 2 cups of water <br />
<br />
<br />
Place the tomatillos in a pot and fill pot up with water until just covering tops of tomatillos. Cut up your onion, jalapeno, and Serrano peppers into small pieces and place into the boiling water. Add in bullion, lime juice, sea salt, and ground comino. Boil until green tomatillos begin to bust.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Once the tomatillos have bust, place everything including water, into a blender and blend until your desired consistency. I don't have a blender so I just used a small food processor and blended little batches at a time.<br />

You can serve this in a bowl warm or place in refrigerator to cool. Or you can leave it warm and use this to top off your Chicken Enchiladas. Yummmm!<br />
<br />
This stuff is seriously delicious. Try It.

I weighed myself this morning and I'm down another 2.6 pounds for a total of 4.6 pounds! Mom lost another 1.6 also. My body and mind feel so much better already. Clean eating really does feel good. <br />
<br />
Yesterday for breakfast I have a grapefruit and sprinkled some stevia on top. Stevia has been my best friend during this diet.<br />
<br />
For lunch I had a lemon chicken salad. I had romaine lettuce, red peppers, tomatoes, and mom made a homemade dressing. I also had some melba toast for some crunch.<br />
<br />
For my afternoon snack I cut up half of a cucumber and dipped it into fresh salsa. Weird but it worked.<br />
<br />
Last nights dinner was super yummy. It was also the first time I've ever used the broiler. I marinated and then pan seared steak and then put it under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Very yummy and flavorful. I had a salad on the side with romaine lettuce, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and a few slivers of tomato. I was really full and satisfied.<br />
<br />
Throughout the diet I've been drinking lot's of water and green tea. I've never really been a tea fan but it has helped me a lot during these past two days.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited and motivated about this. I think the hardest days might be this weekend when I'll be around people that are drinking but I'm so committed that this shouldn't phase me.<br />
<br />
I think I'll make some salsa verde sometime this week. It's super yummy and HCG friendly!<br />

<br />
I woke up in a great mood this
morning. I was definitely not dreading work for once. I feel like I have
a ton of energy and I'm ready to conquer the world.<br />
<br />

<br />
This
past weekend was the official start of the HCG Diet. The first two days
are called "Fat Loading." You take the HCG drops three times a day and
eat full portion servings of high fat foods. Things like eggs, avocado,
butter, yogurt, dairy, nuts and seeds are all foods you want to focus on
eating during these first two days. This step is very important because
the loading phase stocks normal fat cells and prepares the body to burn
abnormal fat, which results in fast weight loss.<br />
<br />
<br />
What foods will I miss the most? <br />
<ul>
<li>Cheese/Queso</li>
<li>Breakfast Tacos</li>
<li>Pizza </li>
<li>Pasta </li>
<li>Beer</li>
<li>Mountain Dew</li>
<li>Rice</li>
<li>Ranch Dressing</li>
<li>Bread/Tortillas </li>
</ul>
<br />
So yesterday was the first day of Phase 2. I took my
measurements and weighed myself which I'm not going to share with you
guys today, but I will check in to let you know how many pounds have
been lost. I'm also not going to measure myself again until the last
day. I can't even wait.<br />
<br />
For breakfast yesterday, I had
an orange and green tea. I started to get hungry around 10:30 which is
completely normal. It's only day one. I waited until 11:00 to eat the
pot roast and cabbage that I made the night before with 1 serving of
Melba toasts. It was super yummy. Once the diet is over I will not weigh
out my food so I'm not doing it now. I'm eyeballing my measurements
which some might say will hurt you but I don't think it will make too
much of a difference. I also had a snack around 3. I had a handful of
strawberries and another green tea.<br />
<br />
After work I was
starting to feel really hungry but it was still too early for dinner. So
I started cleaning the house to keep my mind distracted. I think I'm
going to have the cleanest house after this diet. :) I ended up making
tacos with lettuce as the tortilla. They came out so good and by the end
I was full.<br />
<br />
When I weighed myself this morning I was
down exactly two pounds!! Yay! It's really motivating to see progress
like this. My Mom is also doing the diet and she is down 6.2 pounds.renae.nicholehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13174020586971906124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403755977201355749.post-9598138419760043012015-04-13T12:46:00.000-07:002015-04-13T12:46:06.567-07:00Weekend Workouts and a Raise!Things have been looking up lately. But I think that just happens when I finally take the time to make myself happy. I've been staying active and trying to eat better and as a result, I feel like everything else just automatically gets better.<br />
<br />
This weekend I took d.o.g on two runs. This was the first time I ever tried to run with him and it was a mess in the beginning. He is getting better though. I love running with him. Not only do I feel safer but he also pushes me to go faster and to actually run up the hills. We did a little under 2 miles on Friday and on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Today I plan on going to town lake and renting a bicycle for a while. If not, I may just run a 3 mile loop and call it a day. I can't wait until my niece gets a little older so that I can take her too. She is getting so big and so cute. I loves her.<br />

<br />
And I was just told that I'm getting a raise. Hallelujah! And they are going to back pay us from March 1st. So this weeks check will be very nice! I think I'm gonna get a new dress to celebrate the raise and celebrate my running and getting moving again. <br />

I've already dropped almost 8 minutes from my first run. I also know that I used to be a lot faster and it sometimes makes me sad but then I realize if I keep it up I can be back to where I was. I just can't give up.<br />

<br />
<br />
Yesterday's workout included a bunch of different things. I looked pretty lost at the gym I'll admit. It's been so long since I had stepped foot into the gym. And honestly, it was pretty intimidating. I remember when the gym felt like a second home. I feel scared again but I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm gonna keep going like I did when I first started. It takes time to get that confidence back. <br />
<br />
I started in the dark cinema room at Gold's Gym and completed one mile on the treadmill. Even in the dark I felt uncomfortable. The treadmill was making all of these weird noises and I didn't know what was going on. So I moved out to the gym floor and did a couple of machine weights and hand weights. After that, I still felt like I didn't know what I was doing so I went back into the cardio cinema and completed one last mile before leaving. <br />
<br />
There were soooo many people there. I felt really crappy but I think it was just what I needed to get my butt back in the gym. <br />
<br />
Today during lunch I went into our gym and did some more machine weights, a little bit of yoga, and some crunches. After work today, I'll be heading to RPM, a cycling class at Gold's Gym, to get some cardio in. <br />
<br />
My thing for the full month of February is, everyday after work I'll have my stuff ready to stop by the gym and I have to workout at least 5 days a week. No excuses. <br />
<br />
And a picture of Madisyn because I just have to...<br />

<br />
Drew and I found a new place! We move in January 28th and we are super excited about it. It's a step up from the apartments we've had in the past. This time we got a duplex with a yard that I know our dogs will love. It's a cute two story duplex with the living room/kitchen on the bottom floor and the entire upstairs is our bedroom, restroom, and huge walk in closet. I am so excited to start decorating.<br />
<br />
Other good news - I was pulled into the office at work with news that I may be getting a role change soon. They want me to take on a more project oriented role which excites me a lot. In my previous role I was answering everyone's questions about benefits and helping them figure out their new plans. When I move to my new role, I will not be on the phone anymore. Woot Woot. They did mention that I may be working longer hours some days, but I'm very okay with that.<br />
<br />
The bad news - Drew lost his job of 5 years on January 8th. I know, perfect timing right. But the way I see it, it's actually good news. Really good news. I could see that he was becoming unhappy working there and even after 5 years he wasn't getting paid what he deserved. He was such a hard worker. <br />
<br />
So he's on the hunt for a new job. So far the prospects are building and designing pools, landscaping, or foundation repair. All of which I know he'll enjoy because he likes using his hands and creating things. He also loves a job that he can sweat and get dirty at. He is not the office type of guy.<br />
<br />
With that being said, I am soooo excited for 2015. A lot of new things are happening and I look forward to the day that we're settled into our place, Drew has a new job, and we are happier than ever.<br />

<br />
I'm hoping the New Year will bring me more energy and time to blog more often. Not only that, but we're moving into our new place at the end of this month and I will have internet again! Hallelujah.<br />
<br />
So I really do hope to blog more and run and workout and just feel good about myself again.<br />
<br />
I'm going to let my pictures explain what I've been up to lately because obviously I don't remember how to write a blog anymore.<br />

My niece is getting so big. Every time I see her she is changing. This Christmas she was finally old enough to rip the wrapping paper off of her own gifts. Too cute.<br />

Okay so this entire post was pointless, but very, very necessary. It's a reminder that I need to use my camera again and go out and do fun things.<br />
<br />
Next post is sure to be better, I promise. <br />

<br />
Maybe because my weekend was nice and relaxing. It was one of the first weekends free, with no required activites or events to attend. <br />
<br />
I spent a lot of time with my Mom and Dad and their dogs. I was so full of energy and randomness. By 5p.m. they both were wondering why they invited me over.<br />
<br />
The best part of my weekend was spending time with my girls. We made a spread of meats and cheeses, garlic spreads, salads, and build your own pizzas. We had fruit with yogurt dip and mini pecan and pumpkin pies. We also went through 3 bottles of wine and a tray of jello shots. <br />
<br />
We were supposed to watch the move "The Other Woman" but never got around to it. Instead we sat around the table, drinking wine, eating little bites, and gossiping, Oh the gossip. :)<br />
<br />
We had so much fun and I can't wait to do it again with these lovelies. <br />

I've been really down on myself. I've gained a ton of weight and have not done anything about it. I've just been depressed and taking it out on others, including myself. I've just eaten more food then imaginable because whats the point, I've already let myself go. I haven't worked out, because again, what's the point?<br />
<br />
But today I have a different outlook on things. Today I brought my workout clothes to work and I WILL workout, and I will try my hardest. I've done it before and I can do it again. If I remember correctly, blogging was one of the biggest things that motivated me to do my workouts. So I will blog more often, workout, and try to eat healthier.<br />
<br />
In other news, my niece Madisyn turned 1 on Friday. I can't believe how quickly one year flew by. For Halloween she dressed as a ladybug. The cutest lady bug I've ever seen. She has also started walking a little bit. She still needs a little help, but in no time this little girl will be running. <br />

Drew and I had a very busy weekend. After my niece's bday on Friday night, we met up with friends we met on our last cruise. They we're in town here in Austin and wanted us to take them out. We went to 6th street and took them to some nice bars/clubs. They had a blast.<br />
<br />
On Saturday we woke up and drove to College Station for the Budfest Softball tournament. Drew's first game was at 2pm and his second game was at midnight. Since we had a huge break in between games we decided to get some rest in our nice room. We had a King Jr. Suite and it was awesome. We really didn't want to leave.<br />

On Sunday morning we drove back to Austin. We didn't even stop at the house before heading to the park for disc golfing. Drew's friends met us there. We ended up playing two games and weren't done until 6pm. We headed to Cici's pizza for dinner and then went home and slept like babies.<br />

Carnival CruiseI had a great 10 day vacation. While only 5 nights were truly spent away on the cruise, the other 5 nights were just as glorious not having to go to work.<br />
<br />
This was my 4th cruise (My 3rd with Carnival) and it never gets old or boring. I can't wait to start planning the next one.<br />
<br />
This time only Drew and I went aboard the Carnival Triumph. I was really horrible at taking pictures because I had already been on this ship before. I felt like we were regulars, others constantly remaining close as to not miss anything spectacular that we might know of being past cruisers and all.<br />
<br />

<br />
This time we didn't gamble in the casino, we actually ate in the fancy shmancy dining room twice, and we did not look at our itinerary for the day very often. We just went with the flow, took naps, and enjoyed each others company, all while sipping pina colada's of course. <br />
<br />
We tried some things we have never tried before. I tried alligator fritters and Drew tried the calamari and scallop pasta dish. My favorite night of dining was when I ordered the prime rib which was the size of my plate. Overall we loved our food but never left enough room for dessert.<br />
<br />
On this ship, Carnival had us seat with others for dinner. I don't know how they select who sits with who, but we were seated with two other couples all around our age. But both couples were newlyweds and were on their honeymoon. Is Carnival trying to hint at something?<br />

Again this trip we made many friends and exchanged numbers. We are all looking forward to going on a future cruise together sometime next Spring. I can't wait.<br />
<br />
Some notable things that happened on the cruise this time:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pat Green was on board and even held a concert. We got to see him perform live in Progresso.</li>

<li>A girl we met got really drunk. She was taken to her room and somehow managed to leave the room. She ended up with a black eye and only remembers hearing "Hey, don't talk to my Mom like that" </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A boy and his two friends decided to wander off in Progresso to the not-so-touristy parts of the island. They had to be escorted by wheelchairs to the ship. They don't remember anything, their money was gone as well as their ID's and one of them even jumped/fell? out of the wheelchair between the giant ship and the pier. They think they may have been drugged. Lesson learned: Don't venture to non-touristy areas of islands...especially in Mexico. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A big brawl that included men and women ensued in the comedy club, those people were taken away and isolated from the rest of the boat.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>People were very attracted to Drew and I. We received plenty of drinks and shots, cigarettes, and we were even given two $20 bills by others just because. When I tried to give the money back, one of the ladies said, "Don't mess up my blessing! You can't give me that back." A very nice reminder that there are great people in this world. </li>

One of my favorite things was the shopping in Progresso. After we rode jet skis and had a massage on the beach, we did a little shopping. We bought a hammock, Cuban cigars, a cool Mayan carving to hang on the wall, an ashtray/cigarette and lighter holder that just looks like a log from a tree, and a very nice all leather purse with the prettiest little details. I fell in love with it.<br />

<br />
Everything that we bought, we bargained for, and a bargain we got. This purse was originally $85 and we talked them down to $35. The hammock $35, we bought it for $15. It was amazing at how much they locals were willing to go down in prices. We also bought 3 liters of the best organic tequila 100 anos. No hang over what so ever. Glorious! We also bought a single 3 liter bottle of Bacardi. We have yet to open that bad boy.<br />
<br />
All in all it was a great trip. We had a blast and we can't wait to go back again. renae.nicholehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13174020586971906124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403755977201355749.post-7699292850183011392014-09-25T10:51:00.002-07:002014-09-25T11:01:47.159-07:00The Fitness Games (TFG): My Review - Platinum Edition<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><br />

The only thing I was a little worried about was fitting into my swimsuit. With the help of The Fitness Games app I was able to shed a couple of unwanted pounds and now I'm more than ready to put that swimsuit back on and hop on board. </span></div>

I chose to do a full body work out and was presented with what I thought was a challenging workout. Another great thing is that you can select between beginner, intermediate or advanced, so you can chose what level you begin with. I started with beginner but will eventually work my self up as I get my comfortable. That means this app is here to stay. </span></div>

<br />
On Friday night, Drew and I went disc golfing (what's new) after work. We only had a couple of hours to play before the sun would go down but I knew that I wanted to be on hole 15 when it was so that I could catch a picture.<br />

On Saturday morning I got a call from my Dad. He literally woke me up begging me to go to Houston to go to the car races. I said no. Then went back to sleep for approximately 2 minutes. Realizing I just turned down a fun day, I called him back and said Come Get MEEE!<br />
<br />
The drive wasn't terrible at all. It only took us about 3 hours from Austin to Houston.<br />
<br />
We arrived to the racetrack. The air was full of gasoline and burning rubber. I've always loved that smell because it reminds me of going to the racetrack as a little girl. The crew was working hard on Mason's truck. They take it very serious.<br />

Tonight was an extra special night because it was "double feature" night which meant everyone got to race two races. Mason won the first race and got a trophy. His second race he finished third. We were all so proud and I was happy to be back to my stomping grounds.<br />
<br />
Plus I got to ride around in this bad boy<br />

After the night was over, we went back to our hotel room and woke up early Sunday morning to head back to Austin.<br />
<br />
Sunday we celebrated my best friends 25th birthday. We went to a little neighborhood bar called Little Woodrow's. It was so nice to see all of my friends. It's rare that we actually get quality time together, especially without the boyfriends/husbands/kids.<br />

Then our friends really wanted to go out downtown. After several No's and a handful of excuses we gave in. We stayed out until 4:00 a.m and I had to be up by 7:30 a.m. to not only celebrate Grandparent's Day but also see my Grandma on her last day here in Austin.<br />
<br />
My Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law Niece and Mema all went for breakfast at Dan's. As always it was a fun time, especially being able to hang out with my niece. She made all the Grandparent's cards. Of course my Dad's had to have fish stickers on it. She already knows him so well.<br />

I thought it was hilarious that she had the ketchup bottle in these pictures because my brother eats ketchup religiously.<br />
<br />
After a nice meal, I met up with Drew and his friend Ben to go Disc Golfing. It was a much needed workout. I'm getting better every time we go out there. I can't wait to start being able to beat Drew.<br />
<br />
After our workout we headed to our friends son's birthday party. Mason turned 3 years old. He is so smart and very, very talkative. He had a jumpy house and Drew and I decided to go have some fun of our own in the jumpy house once all the kids were out. Once they all saw that we were in the jumpy house, they came running and I got scared the closer they got. They piled on top of us; jumping and running and laughing. It was cute, but I had to get out of there.<br />
<br />
Drew was unfortunately was stuck in the jumpy house with all of the kids when he tried to leave the kids yelled "NOOOO, get Woody (they think he looks like Woody from Toy Story)!!" And they all ran towards him and jumped on him. And this is what happened to Drew....<br />

<br />
<br />
That was the hardest I've laughed in my entire life. He was seriously stuck. It took two of us to lift him up and get the jumpy house back up and running. <br />
<br />
We ate BBQ, Cake and Ice Cream, played on the playgrounds and watched Mason open up his gifts. It was a good way to end the weekend.<br />

<br />
I just wanted to check-in and let you all know how this past week has been for me. I started the <a href="http://renaenichole.blogspot.com/2014/08/hi-im-renae-and-i-have-drinking-problem.html?showComment=1409058650125#c2075400667523837227">No Alcohol</a> for a month challenge last week and I'm very please with week 1 results.<br />
<br />
My mood has definitely changed for the better. I am not grouchy when I wake up. Instead I can't wait until I peak from under the covers and see a decent time to open my eyes and start the day. Over the holiday weekend I was in bed everyday by 10 pm and was awake by 8am everyday. I've laughed more and I've been very goofy. Almost overly hyper at this point. I just have so much energy. <br />
<br />
My energy level is out the roof. Drew and I played disc golf several days throughout the week but also played at least 2-3 times everyday throughout the holiday weekend. Each games is 18 holes and can last from an hour and half to our longest game at a new course taking 4 hours. Each course is designed to take you through the woods and allows you to connect with nature. It's seriously a hike and disc golf combined. In the past week we've seen an Eagle, Owls, a Fox, several Deer, a Jack Rabbit, small snakes, a red robin and plenty of lizards. It's very beautiful but I don't get the chance to take pictures because I'm so in to the game and what my next throw will be.<br />
<br />
My weight has dropped! I've lost 2.2 lbs in one week. I could tell a difference and really wanted to step on the scale mid-week but I made myself wait until this morning. I am very happy with loosing weight although that wasn't my goal. At this rate, I can be 10 lbs lighter by the time our cruise comes around.<br />
<br />
I think I mentioned to you guys that Drew and I stood in a wedding as Maid of Honor and Best Man last month. I will dedicate an entire post when I get pictures from the photographer, but for now here is a sneak peak picture of what Drew and I wore.<br />

<br />
Why did everyone turn to Drew and I at that moment? Because we drink. A lot. Too much.<br />
<br />
Exhibit A - Really? Mini pitchers of liquor! And I'm sure that's not all we had to drink that night <br />
<br />

So I think you can understand why everyone felt the need to turn and look at us. And while I try to promote a healthy lifestyle, I'm failing miserably in the alcohol department. How can I get up and go for a run when I've been drinking heavily the night before. How can I crave vegetables and fruit after a night out of drinking? I don't. I crave greasy pizza and breakfast tacos.<br />
<br />
So Drew and I have decided that beginning today we will be alcohol free until our next cruise on September 27th. That is 33 days from now. We usually drink almost 4 times a week, pretty heavily. This will be hard but I know we can do it together. We can do anything together.<br />
<br />
I think we end up saving a lot of money and I will probably shed some pounds. I'm sure I drink at least 1200 calories or so every time we drink. I'll make sure to weigh myself today and then again every Monday to see if there is any difference. Even if there is no scale difference I will still be happy because we are not quitting to lose weight anyways, there are far more other concerns that we are worried about. I will also be sure to document things like how I'm feeling, if my skin changes for the better, and if my eating habits change as a result of not drinking.<br />
<br />
Sometimes bloggers say that they feel they are putting too much information out there, but I am putting this out there so that I can be held accountable. I also want to look at this one day and be like "Whoa, I'm glad I don't feel the need to drink that much anymore." My goal is not to quit drinking completely, it's to drink in moderation and to know when enough is enough. renae.nicholehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13174020586971906124noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403755977201355749.post-64202454968737553162014-08-21T10:35:00.002-07:002014-08-21T10:35:55.070-07:00Thinking Out Loud #9 - Bachelorette Party Hey there!

1. I've been really busy lately. That explains my lack of posts lately. I'm standing in a wedding as Maid of Honor and it has been a lot of work. Last weekend we celebrated the bachelorette party. Lot's of fun.<br />

3. Have you guys seen the dress I'm wearing yet? I got to pick out my own style to wear that will be separate from what the bridesmaids are wearing. The picture doesn't do it justice. There is really pretty beading on the sweat heart top. <br />

<br />
I started my day off bright and early with a 5:30 a.m run. I did about 3 miles and I'm very proud of myself for waking up early these past two days to do this. Now, I'm not the fastest runner yet, but I'm doing it and that's all that matters.<br />

<br />
<br />
The reason I love running is because it's the only time where I really am to myself and my thoughts. I was thinking today while I was running about why I am the person I am today. Why do I feel the need to wake up at 5:00 in the morning to run? What do I have to prove?<br />
<br />
I am who I am today because of what I struggled through in the past.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I grew up with an older brother. He is 4 years older than me. I am a strong person who takes criticism lightly because of how often my brother would call me names. I am also literally a stronger person because of how often we got into wrestling matches. Drew will tell you today that he thinks I could definitely take out a guy if needed.</li>
<li>I remember trying out for the volleyball team in middle school. I didn't make the cut. I think the coaches thought I was too out of shape and had no self-control because of how big I was. So I became the manager. I remember one practice none of the girls were getting their serve's over the net. Coach said "If Renae makes her serve over the net, she is on the team and taking one of your starting positions." And guess what, I made it over the net. Why? Because I worked hard, because I wanted it so bad. My coaches later named me one of the MVP's. What I learned from that experience is that sometimes people are quick to assume that you're not good enough. I've learned to not let things get me down, but instead learn how to grow from those experiences. I've learned that not one person can tell me that I'm not good enough for something, because I can and will prove them wrong. I'm a hard-worker and strive for success because of this volleyball experience.</li>
<li>I remember always wanting a boyfriend but because I was a big girl and in middle school/high school, guys we're very shallow and therefore, didn't want to date me. Instead I was every guys best friend. Once I lost weight, I got a lot of attention from those guys that didn't dare date me when I was big. So now, I won't just say yes to any guy. They have to earn my trust. I have to see what kind of person they are and they need to see what kind of person I am. I need to know that they love me for who I am not how I look. And that is why I'm with the love of my life, Andrew. He accepts me for me. He loves who I am inside and out. </li>
<li>In band I sometimes felt picked on by the director. I also felt that he didn't take me serious because of my weight. I walked into band class late one day. He was talking to the entire band about me, I didn't know that until later. So when he asked us not to wear jewelry to the parade, what did I do? I freakin' work the earring to my tragus piercing. And of course he saw it, and hated it, and thought I was being rebellious. And guess what! I was being rebellious. No one is going to walk all over me, treat me like a horrible person and then try to tell me what I can't do. If you tell me I can't do something, then I will do it. I don't take crap from anyone, especially when I didn't deserve it in the first place.</li>
<li>When I was in middle school, my home flooded. My family does not have a lot of money so this was especially devastating to us. We didn't know what to do or how we were going to start rebuilding. The thing that we lost that hurt the most was our pictures...our memories. I now make sure to cherish things I love each and every day, you never know when you will lose them.</li>
<li>I lost my best friend to a tragic accident a few years ago. I've learned to live and love life. She was so bright, optimistic, full of energy, and loved to live life like it was her last day. I've learned to not take things so seriously. I've learned to truly embrace the things life has to offer and to take advantage of each and every day. Again, you never know when it's your time to go, so make sure you are happy and at peace when that time comes.</li>
</ul>
<br />
And this is why I love running. Where have these thoughts been hiding all of this time?<br />
<br />
I can't wait to discover more about myself through running.<br />

I'm trying this new thing where I wake up at 5:00 a.m. with Drew so that we can see each other in the morning. He leaves the house between 5:30 and 5:45 so after he left I got changed into my workout clothes and went for a run. It was so nice. No Texas sun beaming down on you, not many cars you have to keep an eye on, just you and the pavement. I loved it and can't wait to do it again.</b></div>

<br />
I took a little break from the blog because I wasn't really in a place that I wanted to discuss how I have been feeling lately. I haven't enjoyed the way I have been treating my body or myself as a whole. <br />
<br />
So I'm not gonna sit around and cry about it <strike>any longer.</strike> I'm gonna do something about it. Set some goals and better myself and my relationship with Drew. I've at least figured out that you can't have a happy relationship if you aren't happy with yourself. <br />
<br />
I've also learned that it's a lot harder on yourself when you forget to think about the good things you do for yourself and others. So I'll start with that then go on to goals. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I've been really good at helping my Mom through her surgery and post-surgery. Dad is also out of work currently so I've been sure to make them dinner and to visit them often.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I have helped to take care of Drew's Grandparents house while they were away on vacation. I even made them a care package for their road trip.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<ul>
<li>I've made sure to keep in touch with friends. Not only does that help me get through my days a whole lot easier, but I'm sure it puts a smile on their face when they know that I'm thinking about them and care about them.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I'm the captain at work for coordinating races. I'm in the process of getting everyone signed up for the <a href="http://www.rocrace.com/">Austin ROC race</a>. We are at a team of 28 so far and the race isn't until September. I'm so happy with the results and it definitely puts a smile on my face that I've encouraged this many people at work to participate in running and being healthy. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I donated 2 large trash bags full of clothes to Goodwill. They were all very nice, decent clothes and I'm just glad that I can pass them along to others that really need them. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I volunteered at the food bank recently. It was the best 3 hours spent. We helped feed over 2,000 families with the amount of work we did in 3 hours. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Goal Talk</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Stop biting my nails! I've started this goal already and haven't bitten my nails in over a week. I just keep applying nail polish to them and this is definitely helping. </li>
<li>Make time for myself. Read a book, go to the gym, pamper myself a bit, take long showers, tell Drew to go out and let me have the house to myself, go for a walk/run, go downtown and explore the shops... I think this is a really important part of not losing who you are. It can be difficult in relationships to not just do what the other person is doing. It's very important to do things that make you happy.</li>
<li>Sign up for a race and actually make it. The past two races that I signed up for I did not attend. One was explainable, the other was because I had too many drinks the night before, which leads me to my next goal...</li>
<li>Stop drinking during the week. It is not that important. It bogs you down, you don't feel good, and why do you feel the need to drink anyways? I understand that I am young and like to go out, so I can save drinking for the weekends, not really sure why I feel the need to drink during the week. </li>
<li>Instead of drinking during the week, go do something active. Go sweat. Do anything that gets your blood flowing.</li>
<li>Drew asked me to start waking up with him at 5 a.m. He says that he would love to see me in the mornings helping him out the door. I was also thinking it is the perfect opportunity to get in a nice run before the Texas sun comes out. I WILL start this goal next week. </li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
I love when my mind and my heart are in the same place. That's when I have the most motivation and determination. <br />
