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.


I'm talking about all the other choices.  The choice between going to the gym or going to the movies with my husband.  The choice between jumping on the treadmill at 11pm or just going to bed.  Making these choices can be really tough because there isn't necessarily a bad choice.  While going to the gym is a good fit choice, going to the movies would be great for my relationship with my husband and allow me some time to relax and de-stress.  Running at 11pm would make me feel great about getting my training run in, but the added sleep would also help my body recover and heal from my other workouts.  It all relates back to doing enough.  

Throughout my commit to be fit challenge, I'm taking a lot of time to think about my choices and find a balance that benefits all aspects of my life.  (see the F word)

I sure hope I do it right.

    It's hard to find the balance you need to keep yourself healthy. Heck, I'm always struggling with it and often losing.

      It's definitely a learning experience! We so easily forget about our mental and emotional health when we are focusing on physical health.

    Hi- just stopping in from the A-Z. Maybe following you will help me want to get my fat butt off this chair and run. Or get drunk. Preferably both!

      When you're really good at something, you gotta stick with it!

    Such a great post! Everything in moderation... when you're too focused on one thing you tend to neglect another. Finding that balance is key. I am pretty sure I'm not there yet... haha!

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.
