Beer Shot

On my quest to become a part of our new community, I had decided to take up bowling.  Yep. Bowling.  I have to admit that I was rather nervous to join a league.  I wasn't very good (and am still not) and I was worried that I would bring my team's score down.  Turns out....nobody cares.  Some people care about their personal score, but nobody is there to judge and I've been having a really great time.

My husband and I joined a Scotch Doubles tournament a few weekends back.  That's where you both bowl as if you're one player, taking turns throwing each ball in one turn.  Well, we sort of sucked...or so we thought, cause we actually came in 4th place and won $80!  

Something happened during this tournament though.  Something that I will never ever forget and will probably never ever be able to do again.  I......got a beer shot!!  A beer shot is when you knock the 3 pins down (the two on each side of the headpin/front pin) and then knock the rest down in one turn.  It's not easy.  But....if you can do it, the bowling alley gives you a free beer!  I LOVE FREE BEER!  



This is how I did it.  Pretty wicked, right?!

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.
