What's up,  people?!

Sorry I've been MIA.  Our family finally bit the bullet and sold our house and moved!  You can check out some of the details of that on my new blog: Life Less Crazy.  I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to pull off having two blogs, or if it's really even necessary really, but I figure I'll give it a shot.  I've always been slightly bipolar, so this should at least keep me blogging on one of them, right? Yeah, you're right, probably not.....

So what does this move mean for the The Drunk Runner?  Well, first of all, it means that I'm quite unemployed.  Very unemployed, actually.  I'm enjoying this.  I do absolutely nothing all day long and then act like I'm really tired at night when my husband gets home.  I'm totally kidding.  I do actually do things: lots of organizing, TONNES of yard work, and I mix in doing absolutely nothing when I have the time.  I can't say that I've picked it up with the fitness, yet, but I'll get there.

It's summer now and I need to get some goals in place.  My good friend, Randa over at The Bewitchin' Kitchen, and I have challenged each other to eat clean and abstain from alcohol for 2 weeks starting on Monday, June 9th.  I can do the nutrition part, but the no beer during yard work is going to super suck.  I'll do it though.  Can't pass up a good challenge!  I think she has a post of this either on the above mentioned blog, or on her new blog, The Everyday Domestic.  Check it out.

I'm trying to get myself back onto a running routine....or running in general.  I love it when I do it, but holy hell does it ever take a shit tonne of effort just to put my running shoes on.  Meh....I'll get there.  I'm thinking I need to find myself a half to run in late September.  Perhaps paying for a race will motivate me to train for it.

Keep in touch drunk running buddies!  I'll be back soon.

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.
