Bike-a-thon! (outfit post/life post.)

Yay for another outfit post! I love doing these! Ok so, I loved this outfit. Neon is my obsession...and I love crop tops. I took all these pictures with  my ipod in the church bathroom after the 25 mile bikathon haha.

FUN FACT: I only wear pink if it is neon. :) (some exceptions, I guess but hardly any. pink=yuck.)

NEON PINK CROP TOP: Thrift Store (less than 25 cents.)

WHITE TANK TOP: Walmart ($4.88)

DENIM SKIRT: Thrift store forever ago ($4??)

PLAID CONVERSE STYLE TENNIS SHOES: Payless ($4.25 with a coupon!!!)

So here is where I talk about the bikathon! It was actually really fun although incredibly painful.

We got to the church at 6:00 am and then we all got into vans/trucks/cars and got to the lake where the bike trail was. We all took a picture and then we were off. The first few miles weren't bad at all, and it was incredibly peaceful. There was a heavy fog over the lake and it was beautiful, and the sun came out while I was riding and that was gorgeous too.

For the first 15 miles or so, I was pretty much riding by myself. 

the lake, well some of it, i was moving while i took this picture haha

Also took this picture while moving haha, isn't that just attractive lol I was so scared I was going to fall while taking the picture lol

One of my friends haha

So around mile 15, well maybe mile 10, my friend Christian started riding with me and we finished it off together. It was nice having someone to talk to while riding, it made the last few miles pass quickly.

We found a turtle!!! (it's peeing....haha)

He was like, "No, I wanna be in the picture too!" So I had to take another one. haha

So at the end, I was EXTREMELY sore and exhausted, but I am not as sore today as I was expecting to be, probably because I ate bananas (YUCK!), took a hot epsom salt bath, and some ibuprofen.

We raised a lot of money from the bikathon, and it was a lot of fun. :) I don't want to do another one though haha

I'm also proud of myself for going all 25 miles!!! :)

Health and Fitness

I am not sure if I ever mentioned this before, but I am really into health and fitness. I don't know why I am, since my parents really aren't, and I wasn't raised to be this way, but I am.

Don't get me wrong, I love my junk food, but I have learned to eat less of it, and smaller portions.

I decided to do a few little health and fitness posts as summer is around the corner, and that usually means people are ready to get healthy and fit. :)

ONE: my number one tip is drink water!!! This is so important. Water is essential to life, but many people don't drink as much as they should. Take water with you everywhere you go. Drink before, during, and after workouts. DRINK THAT H2O!!! :)

TWO: we hear a lot of talk about healthy eating, but if you're a teen living at home, it can be hard to eat healthy, especially if your family doesn't. Encourage your parents to buy healthy stuff. My dad likes to take us kids to circle k a lot to get candy bars. What I like to do instead of getting candy, is I will get a granola bar or a cereal bar, a healthier tasty alternative.

Make sure you are eating plenty of and veggies!

THREE: allow yourself some junk food. It isn't good to completely deprive yourself of junk food, because you will crave it and eat a whole bunch when you get the chance. If you are out with friends, enjoy the ice cream or brownies. I like to eat junk less often, because it is a special treat when I do eat it.

I am going to post three more fitness tips soon.

Remember you are beautiful just the way you are!!! :)
