i have a personal journal, princesskitu, but decided that i don't want to bore ALL of my friends talking about my new lifestyle so i started this new journal.

i am a runner. ran my first 5k on thanksgiving day 2008, but really started focusing and training on january 10, 2009 when i joined my running group SacFit. with them i completed my first half marathon in may 2009 and i also became an assistant coach. my 2009 goal is to run the CIM (california international marathon) in a decent time (before they start to open the streets back up). this means i have to shave off about 2 minutes per mile. my coach says that it's too much but when someone tells me i can't do something, i have to prove them wrong. i completed my first marathon in december of 2009. i didn't shave off enough time and i was DFL. but i don't care because i finished! this next year is focused towards weight loss and working on speed.

since i was young, i've loved animals and wanted to save the world by recycling and such. stories of animal cruelty makes me nauseous and people who litter piss me off. about a year ago or so, i saw a segment on the news that made me want to vomit. it was about the cruelty at slaughter houses. on that day, i decided that i was going to be a vegetarian.

unfortunately, i am very uneducated in that department and i, not only, gained weight, but i made myself sick. so i went back to eating flesh. not much though. i never really ate much to begin with (well, in comparison to most people).

however, i just finished skinny bitch and that was a big smack in the face with information that i was already familiar with and a huge motivator to do something 100% different. i decided that i want to go full vegan. my only concern is the fact that i LOVE sushi. i've been eating sushi since i was a toddler and it is my all time favorite food. so i have yet to decide whether or not i'm going to go "vegan" except raw fish or slowly wean myself off.

another thing about me, i'm always trying wanting to lose weight somehow and i whine and bitch and moan about it but i never really do what i need to do. i know it's a cliched excuse but i really don't have the time or energy. and that's one thing i'm learning to manage with my running so i want to learn to manage it for weight loss.

so welcome to my roller coaster of a journal. i just hope i have to time to document everything. :)
