The SnowFlake Necklace.

Yet again my blog has been left unattended to for days and days and days.....

I have nothing to write that is running or drinking related. I do have a funny story to share though!!

Background story:

The first year that my husband and I were together, he bought me a heart locket for Christmas.

The second year that my husband I were together, he bought me a heart locket for Christmas.

The third year......get it??? Okay....

So THIS year (year 12), our local jewellery store places their annual flyer on our door. In it I find a snowflake necklace that I LOVE!!!

I bring the flyer to the dining room table and show my 2 boys, 5 and 7, and my husband my deepest Christmas desires.

I then explain, kindly, to my children that mommy doesn't really like hearts and to keep that in mind for future presents. Stars, diamonds, and, especially, snowflakes are great though!!

We finish our supper and proceed with our evening plans of grocery shopping.

After we're done at the store, we drive around to look at Christmas lights. I felt this was the perfect time to question whether or not my family understand my Christmas needs for this year.

This is the conversation:

Me: Hey guys, do you remember what Mommy wants for Christmas?

Reid (7): A snowflake necklace.

George ( the husband): A heart locket......right Heath???

Heath (5): ................Shut yer face, Dad.

Me: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

Best night ever.

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.
