No to Negativity.

There's really no other way to describe this week so far than to refer to it as crappy.  It's a crappy week.  We had a ton of snow on the weekend that has decided to stick around (it's April damn it....I JUST WANT TO RUN OUTSIDE), I'm in a super bitchy mood, awful things are happening all over the world, my family is coming down with some type of  illness, and I'm losing motivation for both the A-Z Challenge and my Commit to be Fit Challenge.  Everything is just plain crappy.

So N is for Negativity.  I feel negative...and crappy.


I very much dislike feeling negative.  I spent a lot of years being a negative person.  I didn't like myself very much back then.  I refuse to be that person anymore.

Clearly, I just need to say no!



 
 I'm trying, damn it.


What I need is a damn good run, a few good beer, and tomorrow I'll be more optimistic! 

(see what I did there?)

  3. I can still be a pretty negative guy, but easing up on it a bit has made life better in general. Now if I could just stop enjoying wine and chocolate and cake and stuff so much.

  4. I feel exactly the same way. All blah and negative. I hate it. I think I'll skip the run and go directly to beer. I will not pass go. I will not collect $200.

    Hugs!

  6. Sometimes I get negative too....but times always turn around at some point. :) Remember, attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure!

  7. Have a beer relax and get you act together tomorrow. Chop chop. Life is good, but bad things to happen. If they didn't how we would we know when things were good.

    By the way, what kind of beer do you like?

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.
