I really have not had time or been able to give updates during this trip.
We have been constantly on the go, loosing phone service, maxing out phone batteries and without internet.
It has been wonderful.
I have no reason to think about work.. & just been able to relaxxx.
We are currently in Oregon --> McMinninville which is in the heart of wine country.
Today, Jason and I spent the day wine tasting!!
So fun. The wineries here are wonderful & the people are so nice.
We actually had to stop after 4 wineries.. (but lots of tasting!) because we felt we would be talked into buying more wine!
Yesterday we spent the day traveling from Victoria, on Vancouver Island, by ferry to Seattle, and then by train to Portland!! LLOOONG DAY!!
Tomorrow we will be heading to Bend Oregon where my sister lives before trying to head back on Saturday!!
On workouts, I got a mini run in yesterday combined with a walk with my mom. Other than that not too much other than walks and some hikes. O well!
Hope you are having a wonderful week!!

Working through the night..
So this post is going to be short and sweet.
This Friday we are heading back to our home town (Jason and I grew up in the same town)
We are heading back for a high school friends birthday, as well as to see Jason's dad, my dog (who is at my dad's house, where a friend is taking care of him and living in the house :( while my dad is in the Peace Corp), and a friend of my family!
In attempt to get everything done, I am working through the night so I do not have much to do later this week...
Yes I was drinking wine while working and eating ice cream (I got two Bryers, but one get one free! How could I say no?)
Today was pretty uneventful anyway.
Check out my workout log to see my workout!
I do have to say, I was extremely sore today and the run was a struggle!!
Jason grilled me mahi-mahi burgers with avocado, tomato, lettuce, and brie cheese, along with sweet potato fries! YUM! (i did take pictures but I am lacking energy after all that work, wine and ice cream)
Hope you all have a wonderful evening!
Whats your favorite kind of ice cream?
I always say mint chocolate chip because it is so repressing but lately I have also been liking dark cherry chocolate of any kind, soy, coconut, yogurt etc. and of course CHOCOLATE. Jason is a pistachio lover!

Getting a little Psychological
Warning I am going to get a bit psychological!!
This is the result of reading Julie's post (which I must say was really good!!)
I had a little rant because I have so many experiences with kids and how they feel (or don't feel--kids with autism spectrum disorders or asbergers which will be seperate disorders in the new DSM-V) about their appearances.
Since I have such a psychological background, it is common that during adolescence, you are more egocentric and feel that the whole world sort of revolves around you. Everyone is judging you (that is your belief system, so you want to be liked, meaning cool clothes, looking good, and being accepted by the popular kids. There are many theories on adolescence.. Here is one that helps explain this. (remember, it is only a theory, therefore it is not proven)!!!!
I also have to admit my competitive edge came out a bit. A guy hopped on the treadmill next to me, and although I was not planning to sprint the last half miler very fast I increased the speed to 9.2 (i think) just for fun. Can you tell I really like to race people!!?? I always do this at the gym.. I HATE when other people go faster or farther than me... it really is a downfall because I will push myself to hard. I am working on it I swear!!
Major stretches and abs after.
The trainer bought me a shake for helping him out. Though I wasn't in the mood for one.. I took him up and got a matcha green tea smoothie! MM.. tasted like a milkshake! I drank some and put the rest in the freezer... Sometimes my stomach can't handle too much after a tough run!
Questions:
Are you competitive with others at the gym or when you are running near others?
YES!
When you were younger did you feel self concious about appearances or that you were judged?
yes, i always did. I had curly hair when a lot of other people didn't. I didn't always have the cool clothes. I was soo self concious and always wanted to fit in.
Anything else?

Erikson's stage's of Development
Adolescence: 12 to 18 Years
**(as cited from one of my textbooks, Theories of Personality 9th Ed, Schultz & Schultz, 2009)
Ego Development Outcome: Identity vs. Role Confusion
Basic Strengths: Devotion and Fidelity
Up to this stage, according to Erikson, development mostly depends upon what is done to us. From here on out, development depends primarily upon what we do. And while adolescence is a stage at which we are neither a child nor an adult, life is definitely getting more complex as we attempt to find our own identity, struggle with social interactions, and grapple with moral issues.
Our task is to discover who we are as individuals separate from our family of origin and as members of a wider society. Unfortunately for those around us, in this process many of us go into a period of withdrawing from responsibilities, which Erikson called a "moratorium." And if we are unsuccessful in navigating this stage, we will experience role confusion and upheaval.
A significant task for us is to establish a philosophy of life and in this process we tend to think in terms of ideals, which are conflict free, rather than reality, which is not. The problem is that we don't have much experience and find it easy to substitute ideals for experience. However, we can also develop strong devotion to friends and causes.
It is no surprise that our most significant relationships are with peer groups.
Hope this helps to understand what is really going on during adolescence! It is also important to remember that social media and parenting play a huge role in how children and adolescence feel about themselves. Fostering a positive self image and remembering to praise, PRAISE, PRAISE kids for their achievements, and trying not to focus so much on appearances helps. Also being actively involved in their lives (but not smothering and restricting kids)! BALANCE IS KEY (just like eating habits & exercise!!!!)
Like Julie stated, its also just a stage that most kids go through, and at some point you feel more appreciative of the compliments that focus on your accomplishments/personality rather than appearances. Really I could go on and on about this..But I am going to stop. If you have questions please email me (kahnh93@gmail.com)!
Now that I got that off my chest.... phew.
Workout
After work, I headed to the gym. The clouds were about to burst as I was on my way and the humidity was super duper high!!
Let me say, I am so glad that I didn't do that spin class last night! My legs felt so good (though my abs and upper body were super sore!)
I did a little over 4 mile on the treadmill in 34 minutes. A slower pace but I was increasing the incline while remaining at the same speed (7.2), reaching about 4.0. Incline is killer and really burns!
I would have done more but one of the new trainers at the gym asked me earlier if he could practice doing an assessment on me for training purposes. I am always up to help.
He just had me do some stretches, squats, pushups etc. The main purpose was for him to learn how to communicate what he wanted me to do. He also told me that it was evident that my IT Band was sore as well as my lats and tricips (YESS so true) But he told me at the end that he failed his little test because he was not able to communicate correctly what he wanted me to do. He asked if later on I would do it again so he could see how far he had advanced.
I did some stretches and abs and then...
Did some intervals between the treadmill and stair climber (similar to last week).
- half a mile on treadmill, 5 minutes on stair climber.. x 4 times (about, since I kept switching between the two by the time the 4th round came up, all the stair climbers were taken so I didn't do the last one)
I also have to admit my competitive edge came out a bit. A guy hopped on the treadmill next to me, and although I was not planning to sprint the last half miler very fast I increased the speed to 9.2 (i think) just for fun. Can you tell I really like to race people!!?? I always do this at the gym.. I HATE when other people go faster or farther than me... it really is a downfall because I will push myself to hard.

P90X
I am back into it.. partially.
Instead of heading off to the gym or a run this am, I decided to do P90X Back and Biceps.
It was a perfect start to a day, other than a run...
I definitely felt the burn, and remembered why Tony was so annoying but I don't care.
He makes me sweat and I generally don't sweat when I do strength training. I love when others push me, like in classes because I don't push myself until I burn when I am on my own! Definitely helps me a lot (I have noticed that I say definitely a lot!)
I do like P90X and even like some of the cardio, but generally just do the strength training aspect of P90X. I have to say the X Stretch is $$$$! I did it at one point when i was training for my marathon after a long run, and I felt wonderful the next day!!! If you have P90X.. DO IT!! It is AWESOME!
Made a banana/coconut smoothie this morning , very simple, just banana, coconut, flax seeds, ice, & water. Also had an apple and a handful of nuts.
Heading off to a meeting in a bit, and to meet with a client.
Then off for a run!

Just added!
I just added a new workout log so I can look back at my work outs to see what I have done each week!
I think it will keep me not only accountable but give me something to look back on and be proud of what I have accomplished each day, each week, and decrease the negative emotions/attacks against myself!

Forgiveness.
Let me finish off my last post..
My work out this am was a little more 4 miles in 32 minutes (finishing off strong with a minute sprint at 9.0)
Then 20-20-20 class! Which was KILLLLER! We did a sprint across the gym two times, which I love because it bring out my competitive edge.. the last person had to do pushups, and I totallly kicked everyone else's ass. Hahaha..
I also did 30 minutes on the stairclimber before finishing off with some additional stretches.
I tried something different for breakfast. A coffee smoothie. We are running a bit low on frozen fruit..and I am trying to save a bit of money.. So I just used what I had.. Coffee, Ice, and Vanilla Protein Powder
Did some work before heading off to meet with a couple clients..
I decided against the spin class and instead did P90X Chest, Shoulders &Triceps. I have a bunch of stuff to do tonight and wanted to get it done..
I haven't done P90X in forever and remember when I did in last spring I was in AAAAmmmAAzing shape!! It was tough! I was sweating after the first set of push ups!!
Also did Ab Ripper X for a little extra!
Forgiveness
Soo... Jay and I live in a kind of up and coming area.
the woman who lives next door to us is older and has lived here for 30 years.
We have not exactly gotten along too well and have gotten into a couple arguments about stupid things. For example, she yelled at us for putting our garbage on her side of the side walk, past the line that seperates our property from her's. She also yelled at us for not cleaning up garbage on Christmas Eve, as we were leaving to go to our family, as well as yelling at us for the roof repair man messing up her roof when he fixed ours. We rent so our landlord is responsible for repairs and we do not even get involved in repairs. As you can see, it is silly stuff and has resulted in a bad relationship between us. We have tried to be nice and say hello yet she ignores us.
Lately she has been a bit nicer. She asked me to help her with a gate that was stuck in our backyard (which is connected). Today she told me that I was beautiful, had beautiful legs, and told me she was bored because she doesn't have much to do and doesn't drive!
I headed out to go to the store and asked her if she needed anything, and she invited me in, and told me she was sorry for ever yelling at us, but she was this old lady that got angry sometimes and she did not know why. I felt so bad. I told her I understand and it happens to everyone, so she should not feel bad.
I am so glad that is resolved and hope that we can have a good relationship in the future. I hate having poor relationships with those around me.. especially if that means that things will suffer when you want to do things..
I think forgiveness is essential in life and it is not worth worrying over petty things in order for you to be happy. Worrying causes you stress, causes you to loose sleep, affects your sleep, your looks, your weight, and your relationships. IT IS NOT WORTH IT! (channeling Hungry Runner Girl's color changing type)!
Questions:
Have you ever done P90X? What do you think!?
I did it last spring, and was in the best shape ever. I was also running a ton and had sooo much endurance!! Kind of want to do it again! Or atleast partially!
Have you ever gotten into an argument with a neighbor? Or someone close that was over something silly?
How does stress/worry affect you?
I really loose sleep when I am stressed. I have trouble sleeping as it is anyway so it is not good!

Rewind back to college...
I seriously felt horrible, tired, and lazy today..
After our wonderful breakfast Jason and I seriously lay on the couch and did not move.
He went off to get a shower and get ready for work, and surprised me by making a yummy smoothie for me and him! It was pretty good with orange, raspberries, banana, and protein powder. (Though not as good as mine!.. Needed to be a little thicker :) )
He left and I continued to lay on the couch..
I began watching Sex and The City 2,... again. And fell asleep.
This is seriously what I did in college when I was hung over..
I woke up..unmotivated and tired.
I had to make it to the gym.
I actually pretty much dragged myself there. Although it was perfect weather for a run.. There was NO way that I would make it.. probably be the person throwing up on the side of the street, and every one else looking at me like I am a pathetic mess (I was, but I don't want everyone else to see that!)
Workout
I started out with 5 minutes on a malfunctioning stairclimber.. obviously it did not last long!
I hate when machines don't work the way they are supposed to...
Although I was not completely up for running I gave it a short.
Definitely struggled..
I ended up doing 3.63 miles.
Back to stairclimber-- A working one... for 20 minutes
Decided to stretch it out before weights..
which was made up of..
I probably should have more of a plan.. I just felt like today was going to be disastrous anyway.
I was moving slow/yawning.. feeling like I should just go home!
I decided to stretch a bit ... some more..
I got a little inspiration to run some more.. I always like ending my workouts with a little sweatiness!
Another run for 3.15 miles.. (I hate ending at weird numbers..like this entire run ended up being 6.75 miles.. why didn't I just run another 1/4 of a mile and make it evenly numbered?!?)
Before heading home I decided to stop to clean my car in preparation for beach trip with my step sisters. I have not really vacuumed my car once since I got in back in December! I even found somethings I had been missing like a headband that was in my field hockey bag in the trunk, & jumper cables! ..and those came in handy when my car died because my battery is a little testy with me.
I don't like asking people to help me jump my car.. especially at a gas station where the crowd was a little iffy. Jason was on his way home from work and stopped by to help. :) What a keeper!
After showering..we had planned to head into Olde City - a fun area of the city, where there are a lot of bars, restaurants, and historical sections, I mean we are in Philadelphia aka tons of history=tons of tourists in the summer-
There was a kick of for summer this weekend including a Taste of Philadelphia.. but traffic was horendous. So many people were around in the city.. Philadelphia Tri was also this weekend, as well as a ton of concerts..
There was no parking ANYWHERE... we did not want to pay for parking especially since we were only going to stay for an hour or so, and $15 dollars is unjustifiable for that!!
We just grabbed some sandwiches and came home to watch a movie.. only lasting about an hr and 1/2 before crashing and going to bed.. Friday definitely did us in.. we are so old!!
Today is the beach! Just a day trip, which was not the original plan but one of my step sisters couldn't get off of work one day.. so a day is better than nothing. Thats the great thing about living so close to the shore. It is only about an hour drive!
What do you do when you are hung over..lay around all day or try to get moving somehow?
-for me it definitely depends on the kind of hangover..but I try to get moving as much as possible!
Do you go out and drink like you are in college ever?
-I am not a big drinker anymore.. a glass of wine once in a while, but I also have trouble digesting it. I used to get patches of red all over and a doctor told me that I was probably missing the enzyme to digest alcohol, resulting in the redness which is called the Asian Flush (I am not Asian!) Alcohol really affects me but I still will go out once in a while to drink with friend. I am an old head.. and can't handle it like I used to...
Any recommendations that you can give me to make my blog better!?

A success!.. Sort of!
So after my unhappy, unsuccessful morning..
I went to work..(long and sweaty drive..)
I stopped at Wegman's.. a go to place for me, for bathrooms and to fill up my water bottle. I sat for about 40 minutes, finishing some paperwork before my next client..
RIGHT BEFORE I went out to my car.. I mean minutes...
Complete down pour...I MEAN COMPLETE.
I had to go,.. and of course I did not bring an umbrella in with me because it was sunny when I went in!!
I sprinted to my car.. only a little wet!-->success!
Traffic on the way home... a problem with drinking water is having to pee all the time--> NOT good when you have to drive everywhere, get stuck in traffic, and no public bathrooms ANYWHERE.. seriously! This happens to me EVERY DAY and EVERYDAY I sprint into my house, don't say anything to anyone, and sprint up to the bathroom, barely making it to the bathroom..
Off to the Gym..
After sprinting 1/4 of a lap in less than 2 minutes...
I decided to go to a spin class.. haven't been to a spin class for 2 years! It was pretty intense and fun!
All the spin classes that I used to go to lights were on and we saw our selves in the mirror.. this time black light!!!
After I stretched out, did some abs..
Then..
1/4 lap in about 2 minutes
5 minutes stair climber
..repeated 3-4 more times.. I lost count!!!
I was a SWEAT MONSTER!!!
just finished up some work...
watching TV.
Bed very soon!

Veggie Love.
Is it weird that I seriously love veggies.?
I mean, I don't think I could go ONE day without eating them, and when I do.. I am very sad.
Thankfully this is a rare event.
I LOVE veggies.. so much that Jay says I am going to turn into a veggie one day...
Favorite Veggies: (if I have to choose...)
Jay thinks I am weird because I put spinach in my smoothies but it just gives me POWER like Popeye!
I just ate a plateful of eggplant with pesto! Weird I know .. but these are two of my loves mixed together.
Anyway..
I was very much looking forward to a night with Jay tonight..
He made plans...
He went to visit a friend from college, his old room-mate until Thursday!
Bummer..
Oh, well..
So now I am sitting outside, after finishing my plate of eggplant with a glass of wine.
I just got told by one of my neighbors it is not a good sign that I am drinking alone..
...well I am alone, so I will have my glass of wine!
Workout
My workout today was a bit rough!
My legs were sore from the long run yesterday..
I love/hate feeling sore!
I did:
20 mins stairclimber
21 minutes on the treadmill, (5 min. warmup at 7.0, every minute after increased speed to 8.0)--> I struggled..
30 minutes stairclimber
Stretching
Weight lifting.. was kinda random but..
Finished off with a 7:15 mile.. which I also struggled through.
I wanted to run more but my body did not let me.. So, that is that.
Oat bran with protein powder, nutmeg and apples for Bfast
Lunch was kinda on the run-- water, banana, and Luna Bar (which was melty because it had been sitting in the sun!)
Overall today was not so bad..my session was a success, traffic wasn't bad, it turned into a beautiful but sweaty day, and my eval from my school went well!
Hope you had a beautiful Tuesday! Its almost half way through the week!!
