Drinking > Running

Ugh...what a week.  Not a good week.  A very drunk week instead.  I've been dealing with a lot of personal things lately and this week it all really affected me.

Monday: Supposed to swim.  Partner couldn't go.  Drank wine instead.

Tuesday: Uhhhhh....see this post.  Drank wine instead.

Wednesday:  Amazing swim!  Could totally do an Ironman.  First Day of Squat Challenge (20 squats)

Thursday:  Hubby worked incredibly late, depressed about Valentine's Day (I get depressed on EVERY holiday.  Don't even mention my birthday).  Second day of Squat Challenge (25 squats).  Drank wine instead.

Friday:  SO tired.  Squats are kicking my ass....literally.  Ran 11 miles.  3rd day of SC (30 squats)

They weren't an easy 11 miles.  In fact, my long run this week was the hardest run of my life.  I've never been that mentally detached from a run ever in my life.  Finishing it felt like the biggest victory of my life.  I should have a medal for that run.  I had a bottle of merlot instead!!!



Whenever I'm feeling down, I like to make a list of what I have to look forward to. 

  • Mud Hero - best hungover run you could ever do!!
  • Dinosaur run!  Taking my biggest little man this year!!
  • My MARATHON!!  I can't wait to cross that finish line.
  • MEXICO!  We're taking our boys in November.
  • Visiting my sister in Vancouver in July!
  • Summer!  My ass is going to look amazing after all of these effing squats!!!

    What is this squat challenge you speak of?

      I'm not sure who devised it, but it's a set number of squats each day for 31 days (I think it was originally a month long challenge). A friend challenged me to it, I accepted!

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.
