I'm Falling Behind.....Can I Catch Up??

I am nowhere near where Lori is in all of this. I am working my way back into working out on a regular basis, where I was before summer started. I have fallen behind. I was doing my Wii Active 5 days a week and walking at least that many, nothing could stop me from my workouts. Then came summer, I stayed with it for the first part and then came camping and that just completely derailed me. So where am I now? Eating worse, not doing my Wii Active and trying to get into running...slowing and sporadically. I am now in awe of my sister, Lori who is doing an incredible job of training for a 10k and eating healthy. I have my inspiration, I'm definitely not lacking that.

So what's my problem? I think the worst part is a new routine. The kids are back in school and I am going back to work...sort of. I am in a substitute position so there may be some days I'm up all dressed to run and then the phone rings....I'm going to work. So I've got to figure it all out and have a back up plan. I need to dig my treadmill out. I guess I can't use it to hold paper towels, toilet paper, grass seed, an extension cord a lasso and oh yes, our camouflage Snuggie. That way on days when I get called into work, I can get on the treadmill when it's dark.

I do plan on running a 5k on October 22, the Run Scream Run http://runscreamrun.com/. I am running...ok run/walking it with a friend of mine and I need to get my butt in gear! Let's just hope I can stay motivated and do it right this time.

This is for my run today!  SUCKED so hard!  And? not only did it suck...  my Ipod quit halfway!  And?  It was 1245287 degrees outside!  And?  The sun was making my face boil and melt off my skull!  And?  I felt like I had a beach in my mouth.   And?  My hip flexors hurt so bad, I wanted to lay on the side of the road!  And?  IT SUCKED!!

BUT?!  At least I didn't get run over by a John Deere, or bitten by a wild turkey, or fell into a hole to the pits of hell, right?

So?  Not all runs are fabulous and most days aren't easy to 'eat right.'  Just some are much worse than others.

You did.  I did.  We ALL have said this.  So, let's stop.  Start today.  Start NOW.  People say 'tomorrow' or 'Monday'...what's that doing for you?  It allows for another day of cheap eating, another day of not moving, another day of not loving your body.  You don't have to be a size 2 to love your body....but wouldn't you love feeling energetic rather than sluggish?  Wouldn't it be great to feel and see your body changing - is there anything MORE motivating?  No.  Feed your body what it needs, not what you want.  It will change...remember this though "it's a marathon, not a race".  Meet you at the finish line.
