I'm a Yogi.

In my August 29th post, I had stated what my goals were to get my health and fitness back on track.
  1. Eat clean everyday!
  2. Complete every workout in Focus T25 (I start on September 2)
  3. Run 10 miles a week.
  4. Spend more quality time with my family.
  5. Prepare lunches and clothing  for the kids the night before.

It wasn't nearly as easy as I thought it would be.  I knew I shouldn't bother trying to make too big of changes over the long weekend, especially because we were away from home.  It took me a good week after that to get my "diet" (I hate that word) back on track.  My head is back in the game and I'm feeling so much better already!

Exercise wise, it's been a lot harder...
I completely Week 1 of Focus T25 and absolutely hated every single one of the 25 minute work outs.  I'm trying to tell myself that the more I do it, the more I"ll enjoy it. Especially because of the success that Randa has had with it!  I do find that I enjoy the "kickboxing/martial arts" type moves significantly more so I did order a video to teach me more of that!  This week (week 2) has not been going so well.  On Sunday, our entire family ran in the Drumheller Dinosaur 5Km race (I hope to post about this by the end of the week) and then hiked the valley's around Drumheller.  That's pretty much been my only exercise this week.  

On Monday, I decided to attend a lunch hour Yoga class.  I've never Yoga'd before so this was a pretty big step for me to do....alone.  I loved it!  I called on Monday afternoon and signed up for the session.  So now I am a Yogi on Mondays and Wednesdays during my lunch hour until mid-December.

Where I'm at with my goals right now:

      1. Killing it!
      2. Not killing it.
      3.There just isn't enough time....yet!
      4. Dinosaur Run, hello?!?!?
      5. I deserve an Awesome Mom medal!!  


From what I have accomplished of my goals these past couple of weeks has helped me drop my weight a few pounds and has made putting on jeans a little less scary.

Here's a picture of our boys after the DinoRun:


I think they look a wee bit proud of their accomplishment!

      Thank you! My goals used to consist of a lot of numbers that, a lot of the time, seemed unreachable. I'm glad I've changed my way of thinking!

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.
