Week 3 Wrap Up & Drink Up

This week has sucked. Actually, things have sucked since about last Thursday when my computer finally died (hence no Drink Up! post on Saturday). My computer is back and now so are my posts!

This week:

Sunday - SUPPOSED to be a rest day. I worked out. I think I ruined my entire week by doing this....

Monday - Swimming. No energy. 12 lengths...maybe. Sat in hot tub and bitched about my life.

Tuesday - Awesome 5km run and a great strength work out!

Wednesday - Didn't go swimming, worked out at home and then shared a bottle of Merlot with the husband.

Thursday - Pace run. It sucked. I'm disappointed in myself about this. I was crampy, I had no energy, and my legs felt heavy. This is my fault. I'm watching what I eat because I want to lose some weight still and I don't think I'm eating enough. My legs felt heavy due to strength training. My body is not used to it and I need to take it easy I think.

Friday - Rest day, but I'm not going to rest. I'm going to do my long run tonight so I don't have to do it tomorrow.

This Weekend - We are taking our boys to Monster Jam in Edmonton and then to the West Edmonton Mall Water Park!! I'm super excited! I'm also going to do a post about this for A Fit Mess in regards to staying on track with your diet while being away from home. I have good intentions, but I already know that the beer at Rexall Place will ruin it all (in a good way....for my inner alcoholic).

My absolute favorite drink! These aren't available in Canada so I put in an order with anyone I know that is heading down to the states! US readers, feel free to send some up my way!!

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.
