Yeah, a Double Post Today!

I have a question - thought...........

I have noticed that I'm getting a lot more traffic on here lately and that more folks are reading my blog - cool!

Just out of pure curiosity, what does one need to do to get you to post a reply?  I'm just curious who the lurkers out there are.......

The Thing About Mondays

Funny how many people who are trying to get a healthier lifestyle to stick often reboot on a Monday.  Fresh day (well, aren't all days fresh, new out of the box?), fresh week, fresh start.

Well, the same USED TO BE true for me, but is no longer.  I have decided that sticking to a restructive food diet all of the time is my typical way of starting a diet and is always my way of crashing, hard, only to reboot the following Monday.  No longer true over here.  I have chosen to indulge sometimes, making somewhat wiser choices than I used to - ie I no longer have processed food in the house that I like to eat, so if I'm going to indulge, well, I don't think anyone's ever been hurt by a handful of almonds, or a bowl full of berries, right?

Switching things up so that I don't have the cr@p accessible is working!

So, yesterday - I had two cocktails - orange juice & raspberry vodka.  I know, you're supposed to eat your fruit, not drink it, but all things considered, it was a healthier option than what I might have chosen before.

So today is Monday - it's a running day.  Running Class is now up to 5s x 1s.  Not sure how my legs are going to feel about it, but I'm going in with the plan of crushing it!

Happy Monday!

Wednesday's Adventure....

So, in keeping with my theme from yesterday, I have planned an "adventure" of sorts for myself today.

Run in the Rain.  It's not a downpour kind of day, just a gentle drizzle. 

Temps are supposed to divebomb from +14 when I left this morning to somewhere near +5 or lower this evening (going down to freezing tonight). 

I own a raincoat.
I love walking in the rain, when I'm dressed for it.
I have no reason not to run in the rain, then do I?

So I'm going to go for it.

4 x 1s on deck for tonight.

Happy Hump Day!

Adventures in weight loss!

Lifestyle change...yes.
Diet....um, kind of, but it's going to be a life-long commitment to eating clean, so not really a diet.
Weight loss - yes please
Exercise - unhun...who knew I was going to actually LIKE running!?  and my new bike!? 
Weather - um, more of yesterday please.
Water - love, love, love myself when I drink enough of it.
Lifting weights - that will be the next step in my adventure.  Likely will start in the next week to 10 days and develop a plan with my two daughters (18 and 22) that we can do together at the gym.

They said a lifestyle change was a journey.  Not sure that journey is the right word.  I think more adventure is more it - for me anyway.

Care to share your adventurous side with me?
