Un motivation

Okay well let's see I've had a bit of a sh#**y couple days not including yesterday which was valentines day! Sometimes I just have zero motivation to do anything, and it's not easy to get past because most days I have nothing to do. I am currently not working,no show,not many auditions, and haven't started school yet so If I want to slack off and do lets say ... Nothing nobody will notice either way but this gives me an easy out. I find the best thing to do for me is to wake up and immediately get going on chores, working out, whatever, but if I turn the tv on, or computer on I'm immediately un motivated. I'm hoping when I go back to school and hopefully get some sort of part time job I will feel more motivated as I will have something going on everyday. I am not a mom I don't have kids to watch so honestly most of the time I don't know what to do with myself. I've always worked and stayed super busy. If I stayed motivated I would have lost all the weight by now, biggest loser style working out eight hours a day because I can!! But I don't! I haven't ran in over a week. Im probably going to have to start the c to 5k over!! And auditions I literally have to prep every single thing the night before so I am completely ready otherwise in the morning that's my excuse not to go, it's seriously ridiculous. Someone please give me some ideas for motivation!! Or tell me a good doctor to prescribe speed...(just kidding)

Couch to 5K

  Okay so I am taking another page from my friend Mallory's book and have started to attempt the couch to 5k program. I downloaded the app on my Iphone for .99 it really helps me since I need someone guiding me or I will just throw in the towel. Basically it tells you when to jog then when to walk and it can also GPS you which is how you know how long your mile is. Today was my second workout and lets see..well...someone please tell me this gets easier!! How can running be this hard, when so many people do it on a daily basis, and this is only my second day? If you are not familiar with the couch to 5k, in the first 3 days you literally only jog like 3-4 minutes,the rest is walking, you are supposed to work your way up to jogging a 5k (3. something miles in 9 weeks). Already my time is longer than the first day and my shins still hurt (I think I need better sneakers, but still!) However I will say this program can't be a total bust because soo many people do it including my friend Mal who is NOW training for the Disney Princess 1/2 marathon or marathon? I can't remember. Anyway so awesome and so excited for her, maybe one day I will be signing up with her (Hey, I wanna run with Minnie too!!).

   My plan is to be active 6 days a week. 3 Running, 3 in the gym or at Zumba or both, 1 day to think about how active I am being:) In my head right now this sounds like an awesome plan and I could probably add gym to one of the running days also if I really wanna get crazy. I know I can do this right now but we will see what happens when I go back to school in March, but then again they have a swimming pool. I'd love to take up swimming!! So that's all for now ... Today I am going to attempt to make these low cal pumpkin cupcakes from skinnytaste.com with the leftover pumpkin I had frozen from the holidays. Pumpkin is really hot right now, I have found so many articles about how great it is for not only your body but for your skin!! In women's health I found a pumpkin and honey face mask that reduces redness!! Who doesn't love a mask you can eat!?!?  I'd love to hear some of your favorite low cal recipes, and/or sites...
