My car started smoking Thursday after work and I knew I needed maintenance so I decided not to drive it until my friend Marcus could check it out. Anywhoo he couldn't look at it until Saturday. On top of that Chase has been staying with me and we were fatties so there's no point in working out. He leaves today so it's back to 5x weekly workouts! Plus add the diet strictness and I should be dropping inches in no time!

I didn't gain or lose a pound. Which could be OK. I have been doing strength training so it could be muscle building in place of the fat. Like I said, my goal weight is 156. It will take over a year to happen and when it does, I'll have a lot of muscle in place of fat, which prevents fat from coming back. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />I'm still upset...I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. It's OK though. I told myself that I will begin a stricter diet is I did not see any results this week. So the diet will be next on the agenda to TEAM SKINNY =) I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!<br /><br />So I took yesterday off from exercising. I spent the day with brother and his ex-gf Melanie. So we went to the beach, and I swam a bit, but I was there to get some sun. Today I worked legs, the gym was slammed so I didn't get the opportunity to work my butt and the second of my abs workout. Oh well. Then I went and ran 2 miles. I was suppose to do 3 but my legs were sore. I don't want to kill them and I'm enjoying running so I want to take it slow and not hurt my legs. I will not be doing my half-marathon BUT I will be doing my 5K. So excited =) Anywhoo, I'm watching the Olympics. Tomorrow I'll be working hard again!

I hope to have lost another pound at least. I've worked hard this week and I hope my diet isn't burdening me from losing pounds. Tomorrow will be a breaking point. If I have no results I will cut back on the eating as well. </p><p>I'm happy I have this LJ to write in. It helps me get out of my worries and express my triumphs.

So excited to be working out and being healthy. My legs feel good :) Not sore from yesterday's long run. The key is to stench afterwards. Next week starts 5-day running training. I CAN DO IT! I am a little nervous.

I felt guilty but I had a amazing day with my family :) So I'm happy I got time with them. Today I went early because I knew I had to do a 3-mile run/walk. I worked my legs today and did well, meaning I pushed myself. I was sweating and out of breath by the end. I jumped right on the treadmill and went to town doing 2/1 intervals. That lasted about 11 mins and then I went at a pace I felt comfortable with. I finished in 42:55 so I'm happy. I'm not in bad shape like Wednesday when I was really sore. Tomorrow will be a easy day because I have a 2-mile recovery walk. Also going tomorrow will give me day 5 which is my goal of exercising 5 days a week. I can't wait until weigh-in on Tuesday! I need to make better choices eating wise. All will be accomplished with hard work :) Just resting before work.

The soreness is gone and my shins are at a level 2 pain. Very minimal. I love it. I'm glad that my shins are not in a lot of pain. Today I am going to focus on strength training my legs and core. No running today. I'll do my cardio on the elliptical. So yea! Feeling a lot more positive than I did last night after that run. I was so sore and not feeling it! Talk to you later :) </p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/86763.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/86376.html Thu, 26 Jul 2012 04:01:50 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/86376.html OMG I don't know how runners do it. My legs (shins) are killing me. I did 2.4 miles today when I was suppose to do 2.5 so not to bad. I didn't even check before doing it but that's OK. I didn't go to the gym because I had a busy day so I told myself to take the day off. BUT when I got home from my AMAZING dinner I changed into workout gear, walked the pups and ran 2.4miles. OMG I check the Color Run page everyday because it's so COOL! I will sign up this weekend. SO EXCITED! I'll be in such better shape come October 21st. It's going to be one of the best experiences of my life. I'm still not sure about Team in Training. It's a lot of money to come up with. I don't know a ton of people so sponsorship is going to be tough. We'll see, I'm still going to the meeting next week. Tomorrow I don't know when I'm going to get to the gym. Probably after the photo shoot with Rach and Chase. I can probably convince Rachel to go with me =) She needs all the motivation she can get! I want her to get healthy. I worry about her. If she has someone to push her I know she can do it! Anywhoo, my legs are sore. Tomorrow I'll do a rest day from the running. I'll pick up again on Friday with a <b>3 mile</b> run!!!! UH That's going to suck lol. I CAN DO IT! I'm off to bed to rest these dogs. Chow =) https://cassi.livejournal.com/86376.html?view=comments#comments public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/85855.html Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:39:37 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/85855.html <p>I'm at the gym on a break. Just finished my first day of marathon training. OMG I'm dead. Today was 2 miles with 2 run / 1 min walk. I did that for about 5 mins and then I went to 1/1. It was a lot harder than I thought. It took 27:55 to complete. So now I know and have a place to improve. I'm drenched in sweat. I'm kind of dizzy so I think I'm not going to do another 30 mins. of cardio. That was the plan but I'm tired today. Not very motivated. BUT at least I did my workout for the day. So yea. I'm ready to go home and hit the showers. </p><p>EDIT: Weighed myself on the way out. Down 1lb! Congrats Cassie! 37 more to go until my goal weight! I'm happy to see some sort of result because I took a picture and it was the same old Cassie lol. This makes me happy and want to work harder :) </p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/85855.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/85542.html Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:22:26 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/85542.html <p>So today was suppose to be my first day training for the marathon. BUT Brittany decided to show up and workout with me so I got sucked into doing a class instead of my 2-mile run/walk. It's good because I still got my cardio workout in. My arms are dead. I won't be working these out for a few days now. Anywhoo, tomorrow I'll start my training!!! I also found an awesome 5K called the 'Color Run'. It's October 21st in Miami. I can't wait. Watching a movie so I'll update later</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/ipad/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPad</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/85542.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/85478.html Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:06:22 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/85478.html <p>It's dead here. What a waste time. I want to r at the gym so bad right now. Blah blah blah. I have my stuff packed and ready to go though. :) See I knew I would be motivated by the start of the week.

I got a letter from Team-in-Training and they team up with Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help people complete marathons. Well I want to do it! I KNOW I can complete it, but I don't know if I could gather all the funds to do it! BUT I'm going to go to the Informational Meeting on Aug. 1st at the DUB! lol. I</p><p>I want to do the "Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend" It's November 10, 2012. What do you think? I'm already building stamina with my workouts and it's another way to get in shape.

I'm feeling good. I can't wait to take a photo on day 10 so I can look and see if there are any results. Regardless, I'm staying motivated. The weekend is here! So I won't be working out because tomorrow is super busy with friends activities and Sunday I work a double. I did my 5 days this week and that was my goal! Today I worked my legs and butt. My hamstrings are weak! I could barely finish my sets. I only did 20 mins. of cardio because I wanted to get home to the pups. I hate leaving them and I already had to go to the hair salon. So 20 mins. is not that bad. The trainer said between 25-45 so I only shorted myself a little. I stuck strictly to the elliptical. Ok I'm off! </p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/84584.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/84322.html Fri, 20 Jul 2012 17:06:58 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/84322.html <p>Okay so I convince myself I was not going to work out today. I've had a busy day because I had a hair appointment so I think I would skip today go tomorrow. Well I took the dogs to the park and then I went got my hair done and I got out super early. And I literally have five hours before I have to go to work but I thought just relax you'll just go on Saturday. Not so easy. I kept convincing myself that I had workout clothes washed and cleaned so I should just go. Next thing you know I got just got myself together and now I'm on my way to the gym LOL. So I kind of addicted but I'm super happy and excited about it because it's better than being lazy. That's a good thing is that I don't have to try to go tomorrow night so super crazy busy. I'm pretty excited about how motivated and how much I want to work out it really makes me feel better about myself. Even if I'm not seeing results the fact that I'm still out there working out sliding I know I'm burning calories and I'm doing something good for my body so I know that I'm bettering myself. Hopefully I can keep this up another 60 days or so and I'll be good to go! I did this entire post with my voice so God only knows what it looks like I'm going to meet it later and probably edit it later. </p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/84322.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/84189.html Fri, 20 Jul 2012 00:32:24 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/84189.html <p>First week complete! So excited! Today was another cardio day. Rachel joined along for the exercise adventure. </p><p>The game plan was to do a cardio kickboxing class. Rachel was running late so I started without her. 2 mins. into the class it felt like I was going to bleed everywhere. I didn't want to risk it do instead went on the elliptical. Guess how much time I did today?? 20 mins! So excited :) Rachel joined me later. Next we went on my favorite machine the stair machine and I only lasted 5 mins today. Finishes off with 10 mins. on the cycle on level 9. Overall, I did 45 mins. between warm up and exercise. Not bad. :) Back to strength training tomorrow! Later!</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/84189.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/83960.html Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:41:30 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/83960.html <p>I rocked it today! I'm in the swing of things and I enjoy doing it! It's a great feeling to be so motivated to want to get out there and work hard. </p><p>So I did my typical warm up, 10 minutes. Then I moved on and did Pull exercises. I pushed myself today. I upped the weights if I felt it wasn't effective and ended in a sweat. Very nice feeling. Then I worked on my abs as always. </p><p>Next is 24-45 of cardio. I started on the elliptical because it's my enemy lol. But once I got a rhythm I rocked it! Without breaking I finished 15 mins. A new record for me. I can barely last 8 mins lol. Then of course I went on my favorite the nautical step machine. This thing is a challenge. I'm still having a hard time finishing level 2 for 10 mins. so I'll continue to do that. </p><p>Finally, a nice 10 min. cool down on the treadmill to finish with 35 mins. of cardio, a new record. I left feeling awesome :)</p><p>I weighed myself and I've lost no weight. I was a little shocked because I figured I would have lost some water weight, but I'm not discouraged. I read this cute Pinterest quote, "you'll notice results in 2 weeks, your friends in 4, and everyone in 12 weeks." I keep thinking that every time my crazy head wants to compare. That's why I won't take a picture until next week. I want to see if it's true ;)</p><p>Anywhoo, time to pack supplies for tomorrow's Kickboxing class!! Woot! Let's hope I can survive lol!</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/83960.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 1 https://cassi.livejournal.com/83601.html Wed, 18 Jul 2012 02:32:05 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/83601.html <p>OMG it just hit me!!!

I wanted to give up, a lot. The ending was the toughest when we went on the mats. My arms are super sore because I worked those yesterday. Note to self: Do not do Push a day before Kickboxing. I can do legs or something else. Anywhoo, tomorrow I'll be back on resistance training.

I WANT to work out. My body is bored. So so so awesome. I'm just so excited about it. I've never wanted to go to the gym before.

It was so good! That was dinner last night and a piece for lunch today lol. </p><p>Today I met with a PT at LA Fitness. It was very informative. I learned a lot about Resistance Training. Of course they wanted me to buy the PT package, but I can't afford that right now. I want to work with someone so bad! It's quite affordable so after summer I'll start that. </p><p>I did get a good idea of how to work out the right way. When I get there I'll do 5-10 min. cardio warmup. After that I do my resistance training. I can choose from Pull muscles, Push muscles or Legs. All three will end with me working on Abs. He told me to do about 4 machines. Then I'll do a 25-45 cardio workout. This is the part that surprises me. I assumed I should just do cardio and then strength. All in all, it's about 60-80 min. workout. SO DO-ABLE! In really excited. </p><p>After doing the body fat calculations he said that I'll be about 156lbs. with my lean muscle added on. Im currently 194. I gained a lot of my weight back! But that's OK! I can do this!!! Results should take about a year. I just want to be healthy and keep it off this time. </p><p>Very motivated and can't wait to see some results! I'll keep you updated :)</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/82288.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/82171.html Thu, 12 Jul 2012 02:54:03 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/82171.html <p>I've read a lot of of my old posts from USF. I sound like I'm the coolest person alive lol. It was fun. </p><p>Ok onto Day 2 of the gym. It was more rough today. My legs were sore but I did work out. I started with the Treadmill and tried my regime I found on Pintrest. I got to min. 10 before I gave up on it. I did better on speed 6.5. I stopped at 10 because I went to a class. It was called "Step Up plus Abs". It was AWFUL! It wasn't really for beginners because the instructor just barked orders. I lasted about 30 mins before I gave up. I looked ridiculous and wanted to do something else. The gym is so busy at night so getting on a machine you want is pretty tough. I know for certain I will not try any weights at night because it's crazy. The afternoons are so quiet. I wanted to do the Stairmaster but it was full so I went on the elliptical and only lasted 5 mins. My legs were so sore from yesterday. Tomorrow is a Personal Trainer day. I'm excited to learn the machines. </p><p>Overall, day two was a success! Only 12 more until a photo update :)</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/ipad/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPad</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/82171.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/81917.html Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:52:00 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/81917.html <p>After my first day of working out I feel ready to go back! So happy about that! I love LA Fitness and all the fun classes and machines available. If I like being there I'll go more :)</p><p>Workout yesterday:</p><p></p><p><br>20 min. Treadmill. 2 min of running (it's a start!)<br>20 stair master. Level 1 but I'm trying level 2 today. <br>20 bicycle. Random and not very challenging. <br>10 elliptical. Kills me everytime. <br>5 min on another stair machine. Devil machine. </p><p>Can't wait to do it again today! Today's class is Step Up plus Abs! Woot!</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Posted via <a href="http://m.livejournal.com/iphone/link" target="_blank">LiveJournal app for iPhone</a>.</i></span></p> https://cassi.livejournal.com/81917.html?view=comments#comments via ljapp public 0 https://cassi.livejournal.com/46709.html Sat, 08 Oct 2005 14:38:50 GMT cassi https://cassi.livejournal.com/46709.html <center><br /><b><font size="2">locked.</b><br /><font size="1">but currently looking for some new friends =)<br /><br />If you're interested in adding me, <b>please add me first,</b> and <b>comment with your name, age, and how you found me.</b> Preferably I'd like to meet new people who are at the same place in life that I am or share interests with.
