Pep Talk

Today I am getting back on track and started the day off with a 4K run.  It was a much better run then I had the other day which I am very thankful for.  It is crazy how food intake and hydration play such an important role.  I am really hoping that me heading back to work will help out with getting my food consumption back on track.  I actually got on the scale this morning (after breakfast and a coffee so not a true weight) and was a bit disappointed but not surprised).  I know that on the 30th I will be partying but can still keep my food healthy but up until then I need to really be focused.  I really want this weight that I have put on in the last couple of weeks to come off and I know that it will if I eat clean and exercise.

I still need to work on that training schedule that I have been talking about.  I think that I will make monday my offical start date and go from there.  I am hoping I can get my butt out of bed at least 1 of my 2 days over the weekend to run.  I really would like both days but we will see how it goes.

I am going to have all my meals planned for while at work which always helps.  I made an awesome smoothie yesterday and will try to make that a snack instead of a kashi bar since they make me want to have a whole bunch of them which I know is not healthy at all. I am going to do some research into healthy smoothies.

Well must get some lunch.  Have a great weekend.

Need to take a step back

So I had all these great plans for June and I seemed to put them all on the back burner.  I am going to take today and tomorrow to try and get my focus back.  Get back into the regular exercise, tracking what I eat, try to eat as clean as possible, drink more water, get the house organized somewhat before going back to work on Saturday (clean kitchen, bathroom's and try to have the laundry done and put away).  There is no reason why I can't acheive those goals in the next 2 days.  Because my eating hasn't been the best I am really starting to feel it.  I need to get more serious with it so that I can have a great race in October.  Tomorrow will be the offical start date of my training so I need to work on a training plan today.

I had a great day yesterday with some girls from work.  I had a bit too much sun and too much to drink.  I was at A's from 1130-8pm.  what an awesome day.  I am having the next pool party so I need to keep my house somewhat presentable so I am not frantically cleaning the day before the party.

Well I must get ready to go for my PT session.  It has been almost 2 weeks so it will kill me but in a good way.
