Reblog.

I'm quite certain that if you went back on my blog, there is a post that is exactly like this one.

Here comes September again!  I love September.  Kids are back in school and it always feels like the right time to start new routines and create some goals and resolutions.  This past summer was great.  In fact, our entire year has been quite awesome.  We finally made our big move to the town of Rimbey, Alberta and we are starting to feel quite settled in to our new home.  In fact, just today, I had my first "I hate this f***ing house day" so that must mean that we're home.  

So this September is completely different than any other September as this September is the first one that I have been unemployed for.  We managed to keep ourselves incredibly busy over the summer with a whole lot of camping trips and a vacation to BC, so I didn't really have the opportunity to wonder what I was going to do with all of my time, but come next Tuesday, WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL OF MY TIME??

I'm thinking I can probably keep myself quite busy parking my ass on the couch and watching Netflix doing all of my fitness videos.  I purchased a gym membership in July and I would like to make use of that some.  Side note: don't purchase a gym membership in July.  Them are drinking months.  I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar and I have a guitar....and the internet....sooooo......(this will probably be on next September's list again).  I think I might get my ass back into running again.  Winter pre-training??  That's a thing, right??

I give myself until September 10th until I start looking for a job.

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.
