SVU in real life?

 The SVU story is way on down bare with me

I went to the beach TWO weeks ago, and I had every intention of staying on track while I was down there, I even attempted running on the beach hungover and sickly feeling was not the best idea however I ended up staying up too late, drinking all the drinks, and eating all the foods. It's hard to stay on track when you're in paradise, I'm just sayin'

I had every intention on jumping back on that wagon the Monday we returned home. I didn't. Guess what I didn't workout one single time that entire week, and I definitely threw clean eating out the window. I also smoked A LOT... I'm doing better but haven't completely quit yet. Someone throw a brick at me :(

I learned something though, every thing we do comes with a lesson right? That entire week that I didn't do a damn thing; I felt sluggish, irritable, and incredibly sleepy. I caught myself nodding off at my desk and wanting to go to bed at 8pm. I also was craving any and all junk food I could get my hands on. I also gained 4lbs... got anymore of those bricks?

However I had my very first smore and I don't regret that

However this week I told myself I wasn't going to fall into that slump where I'll start Monday became next Monday and then the Monday after that. I couldn't let myself fall back into old habits and undo all the hard work I've done. Thanks to an amazing friend Jen @ JVKom Chronicles  who has helped me so much over the past couple of months told me that she was expecting a full check in on Tuesday. I just couldn't let her down y'all. So Monday morning I hit the pavement, and it wasn't easy. Taking almost 2 weeks off really kills your pace, well it does mine anyway. Just as expected Jen tweeted me wanting the report...isn't she freaking awesome?

Tuesday morning when I woke up and it was raining, perfect excuse to sleep in and not run... Jen wasn't having it LOL

I ended up telling her I would do 2 days worth of Couch to 5k instead on the next day. However the more I thought about it the guiltier I felt. The rain stopped, I was in the middle of cooking dinner and I ran and put my shoes on, told the guys to watch the food and ran. It felt AWESOME!


Okay now I have some scary stuff to tell you ladies and it's definitely opened my eyes (and ears). I run at 5am, alone, and it's still dark. I run around my neighborhood so Im never too far from home. I started my run, headphones in, and really getting into it. As I was running I saw someone in the corner of my eye. A group of girls was trying to get my attention so I stopped.  One of the crossfitters said "hey do you know those guys back there", I turned around. What guys? She said "there were two big guys following you while you were running and when we came around the corner they ran off."

Insert panic. This made me think some real life SVU shit may have went down.

Thank God for those crossfit girls or I could have been hurt, raped, killed, idk but its really scary. From now on I will run with one headphone out and the volume as low as I can get it. I will be weary of my surroundings even if Ive ran that path 9000 times before. I'm thinking about taking my .380 with me but Idk where to put it. It would kind of be difficult to run with a gun in my bra thats where my phone is.

Someone on facebook showed me this though and I am so tempted to buy it, in fact I contacted the company to ask to review it. Anyways ladies be careful out there and be aware of you surroundings!
