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?

  1. I was laughing by the end of the first sentence. :) Now I'm going to work out and I will chuckle now and again as I join you in the burn...

  2. I always wish I had the motivation to work out harder at home. However, I am bad at taking it easy on myself. Not that my thighs, butt or upper arms would agree right now, but they could hurt more.

    1. I have this struggle as well. The gym is definitely more motivating! I find having a plan and knowing exactly what I'll be doing for my workout helps for giving it my all at home.

    2. I should really try that, but mostly I just make things up as I watch whatever I PVRed from the day before. lol. The side lunge with weights I think will be a repeat for me. My thighs are now screaming at me.

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.

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.
