90 day challenge

I am not starting this challenge now but going to do my best when we get back from the cruise.  I am going to do my best to eat as healthy as possible while we are away.  i think that there are salad bars on the boat so that will be a big help.  I do know what to do it is just a matter of doing it.  We have 11 days until we leave and I am going to follow the simply for life program as best I can for those 11 days.  I need to get serious and find some discipline within myself to regroup and be as healthy as possible.  Why am I putting crap into my body when I know that it makes me feel so horrible.

I just got done making a running plan to help me be as ready as possible for around the bay in March.  I have 23 weeks to train.  The training will include healthy eating, weight training and of course running.  if I could just get a few weeks in of running 4-5 x/week I will feel so much better about the running.

getting this house organized and clean is something else I want to achieve before we leave on our trip.  Coming home to a nice clean house will be so nice.

Well I am going to do some more computer stuff and then have some lunch.

Happy Monday!!!

Day 3

Wow I am on day 3 of eating ok.  I am actually quite proud of how I have done.  I made an awesome soup yesterday (well the little sips I took to see what it tasted like…my first actually serving will be for lunch).  I really do love making soups/chilli.  It takes a lot of prep work but the end result is usually so worth it.

Yesterday when I went for my walk I did a little bit of running which felt great.  I am going to just walk today (going for my 6K in about 45 min…breakfast needs to digest first).  I work days the next 3 days and i am going to try to get up and go for a 3K run each of those days.  I signed up for a race at the end of march of next year and I really want to train for it as my endurance has dwindled huge, but my love for running has not.

I can't believe that in 4 weeks we will be leaving on our cruise.  I am so needing a break from things around here.  I think a family vacation will be great and something that we all need.  My goal is to have this house in pretty good order before we leave.  I have 6 days off after this set at work and I really need to buckle down and take full advantage of those days off and get things done around the house (organizing, cleaning the fridge etc.).

Today I need to get laundry done and make sure I have my meals ready for my 3 days (as not being prepared last week threw me off my plan for a couple of days).  I need to take my eating seriously so that my training for this race will go better.  Good fuel in my body helps me in so many ways.

Well as many people are thankful it is friday as they have the weekend off, it means that I am going to work tomorrow.  Oh well, the life of a shift worker :)

half on half off

I need to stop this.  I need to get myself completely back on the wagon and sit right in the middle and not fall off again.  what better time to do this but Oct 1st.  I had a few really good days and a few really bad days and of course I felt awful when I had my bad days.  What set me off on my bad days was when I worked a day instead of a night and did not have any of my meals planned.  it makes such a huge difference in how I do if I don't have meals planned.

I really miss running so I am going to get back into it.  My plan is to start tomorrow.  I will be doing my 6K walk route and build myself from walking it to running it.  I will use my garmin to keep track of how much I actually run.

Here is to a great october.
