U is for me.

I'm finding that I'm really enjoying this A-Z Challenge.  My Commit to be Fit Challenge has been an amazing learning experience for me.  I appreciate the knowledge and experiences I've gained in just matter of a month, but I think what I appreciate the most is being able to understand myself.  Writing 20 post on me has helped me to understand who I am a lot better.



I understand what motivates me and what doesn't.
I understand why I try so hard and why I feel like giving up.
I understand my feelings and emotions.
I understand what's important and what isn't.
I understand what I can control and what I can't.
I understand the things I can and accept the things I can't.
I understand myself.

 

What I don't understand is non-alcoholic beer.  WHY, BEER, WHY???

    I am envious of your depth of understanding, I'm stuck somewhere between knowing and guessing....far from understanding. :)

    And non-alcoholic beer is sheer madness. (someone got drunk and thought that one up...)

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.
