Eat Clean and Drink Beer

As you've all probably noticed, I haven't been blogging as much as I used to.  I've been pretty busy lately and trying to find a way to re-focus "The Drunk Runner".  I then realized that a blog name does not necessarily have to set the tone for the entire blog.  I drink and I run, but I also do a lot of other things.  Lately, my new passion has been changing my eating habits to lose weight and keep it off!!  I don't have too much to lose, and I don't aspire to be a bikini model, so it's been a lot easier than I expected.  Basically, I've been "eating clean" and drinking a ton of water.  Yep, that's it!!  Staying away from crappy, preservative filled foods; passing on heavy, unnecessary calories and opting for real meats and veggies; and being conscious of my decisions.  It feels good and is easily maintainable!  

I'm not changing my blog to tell you about how to live your life, and what foods to eat and what foods to avoid.  You can find that on a bazillion other sites.  I might give you some tips and tricks that works for me, but please don't come here to find a diet and fitness plan.  Though, I'm sure you'll find one if you read far enough into it, but by the end of a week, you'll be hospitalized with alcohol poisoning and over-exercising and trying to sue me for your life problems.  (I really should put a disclaimer on all this stuff....)

 So, here's to healthy eating and blogging!


Sangria is "Clean Eating", right??

  1. It's good to know I'm not the only one who lives a double lifestyle per se. I'm getting healthier, but I love a good beer every now and then to relax!

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.
