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....

    1. 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!!

  2. 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.

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.
