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.

The weather is finally getting nicer in our parts and I made it out for my first outdoor run this evening.  3 degrees was a little cool and my ears were screaming at me for not wearing a toque, but it felt great to finally get out and run at a natural pace.

My 1/2 marathon is just over 5 weeks away.  My goal is to run a strong race.  I expect a personal best, but I'm not necessarily striving for it.  I really just want to feel good the entire race and kick ass!



Maybe I'll run it in a power ranger costume....

      It quite the challenge for me. I'm not overweight by any means, I just know that I could look SO much better if I did lose a bit. How I FEEL always wins though. Whatever I lose will come back. Why? Cause I'm happiest around 140 when I can eat wings and enjoy good beer!!

    I'm glad you have started your weight loss program. Starting is half the battle. I guess my post today about the killer chocolate cheesecake wasn't exactly the thing you needed to see when you're trying to lose weight. That's my only food post on this A to Z.

    I know I could not get out in three degrees either. I can barely go out at forty degrees. I'm a warm weather person.

    I also would never even attempt to run a marathon, so good for you.

    I need someone to kick my ass, and get it in gear before summer. Good going.

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.

Beer me >>>

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?
