Drink Up!

It's SATURDAY!  You know what that means!  

(ok...you don't, but from now on I will be posting my weekly running wrap up as well as a new drink recipe for you try while celebrating)

The Wrap Up:

16 running miles : 3, 5, 8

My 3 mile run was rather easy.  The 5 miler was a good run, but I cramped up at about 3.5 miles and had to walk for .25
miles.  Last 1.25 were strong and I ended with the feeling that I could do a few more.
The 8 miles was a little tough, but totally doable.   
I'm ready for week 2.

2 x 1km swims - best cross training I've ever done!


The Drink Up:

We went to Cuba at the beginning of January and I'm still on a Pina Colada kick.  Remember when I won a Margaritaville?  Very handy for Pina Coladas!  Although, I did learn that each of these Pina Coladas are between 400-800 calories PER DRINK.  Eeeek. 

So I present:

The Skinny Pina Colada

2 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Coconut Rum
5 oz Club Soda

(Yes, I OWN this recipe...I don't, but you can pay me for it by following me on Twitter and sharing my blog with everyone you know)

Tastes great and less than 100 calories per drink!

You're welcome.

Drink Up!

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?

Kick Ass.

  Day 11, Letter K, and almost 5 pounds gone!  I'm kicking ass at my A-Z Commit to be Fit Challenge!!   I'm quite certain that the next 5 pounds are going to be quite a bit tougher than the first 5, but I'm willing to do the work.
