Goals....

I'm failing at life and I'm dying.  Ok....I'm not dying, but I have a cold and a fever and I just feel like complaining for a little while.  I might also not be failing at life, but I was reviewing my goals I created in May and I'm not as far ahead as I was hoping to be.  I've actually accomplished a few of them, but had a major fail on the main one "pay off credit card the same day I use it" <----yeah, that didn't work.  We bought a hot tub.  It's a great hot tub and filled with great times....and hot water!  Oh, and we bought another house too.  F***.

Let's try to stay a little bit optimistic here though.  What are the things that I have done?  Well, I ran the Woody's half (see previous blog post), I have avoided late fees on movies (I just don't rent them anymore), I haven't gone into any debt for Christmas (yet), I am living simpler and loving it, the boiler bill is slowly dwindling away, and I have blogged more (3rd post of the year....booyah!)!

I am going to try to blog more and, perhaps, keep it a little more interesting!

enough IS enough.

  I can think of many 'e' words that are relevant to my commit to be fit theme for this A-Z Challenge: energy, exertion, educate, excel...the list could go on and on. I finally settled on the word 'enough'.   Christmas of 2010 I was at the lowest weight I had ever been.  I remember being very happy and very, very hungry.  I was over-exercising and under-eating.  The weight didn't stay off because it wasn't a lifestyle that I could keep up with.  By summer 2011, the weight was back on. In my commitment to be fit and my quest to lose the last 10 pounds, I will be doing enough.   I will exercise enough and I will eat enough.  I will change my body and change my life in a healthy, and maintainable way. When I run, I will run fast enough.  When I lift, I will lift heavy enough.  When I stretch, I will stretch far enough.   I will, simply, do enough.

Feel the burn.

B is no longer for beer and I'm sad   I really should have thought this theme through a little bit more.  Words that start with B and are relative to my "commit to fit" challenge aren't the easiest to come by.  I've decided to go with " burn "  because I am already feeling it!! On Saturday I decided to terrorize exercise my core and upper body after my run.  DOMS set in late on Sunday and after an intense work out tonight, I dread laughing.    My commit to be fit challenge will include 3-4 strength training sessions per week in addition to my half marathon training program.  It's time to feel the burn !  Can you feel it?

Good choices.

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope your week is a good one! We're on Letter G for the A-Z Challenge, and my commit to be fit post is about making good choices. Making good choices isn't always easy for me.  Mainly, because I'm usually really drunk and not thinking about what's best for me in the long run. You're probably thinking that I'm talking about making good diet choices and, of course, I am, but they aren't the only choices that need to be made when choosing to live a fit and healthy lifestyle.   Nutrition and diet choices are, actually, probably the easiest of all them all.
