Pina Coladas and the pool.

Week 1 of marathon training is going well, but so far I've done more swimming than running. It feels really good though!

On Monday I swam 30 lengths (25 meters), Tuesday I did my 3 mile run, and today I swam 40 lengths. The best part of swimming is still the awesome stretching at the end of it all. Tomorrow is a 5 mile run and then 8 miles on Saturday. I'm a little worried about the 8 miles. I guess I'll just take it slow and steady. I'm already
wondering if I should be following Hal Higdon's Novice 1 program opposed to the Novice 2. I guess time will tell....

I found myself VERY hungry today. 1900 calories hungry. I usually consume about 1400 calories per day. Now, I know that I'll need to consume more as my training progresses, I just didn't expect my body to want and need it so soon. At least the majority of it was good calories (only a handful of chocolate covered popcorn). My new favorite snack is Iogo Yogurt. I'm in love with the Pineapple-Coconut-Banana. I best not ever buy the big tub for I will eat it all in one sitting. Guaranteed. If you haven't tried this brand yet, do it! It's amazing! Tonnes of flavors too!

It tastes like this, only healthier and less drunk!

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.

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.

No to Negativity.

There's really no other way to describe this week so far than to refer to it as crappy. It's a crappy week. We had a ton of snow on the weekend that has decided to stick around ( it's April damn it ....I JUST WANT TO RUN OUTSIDE), I'm in a super bitchy mood, awful things are happening all over the world, my family is coming down with some type of illness, and I'm losing motivation for both the A-Z Challenge and my Commit to be Fit Challenge. Everything is just plain crappy. So N is for Negativity. I feel negative...and crappy.
