JJ Motivation Monday

No dream is too big.
What I want can absolutely be accomplished.
Where are my priorites?
What did I do today to achieve?
Thanks for the reminder JJ!

Funny Friday

1 - This is such a GREAT idea
2 - It doesn't work for me at all because I only have old ladies walking in front of me as I RUN!!!!!

ANOTHER new app

I have never had so many apps to try and help me get my health under control!
To track my running I have Run Keeper, Strava and Nike Run Club.  (I am really only using NRC now.)
I have Happy Scale to track my daily weigh in.
I have Fabulous to help me form habits.
I have Voxer to communicate with my weight coach.
And now....
I have You Ate.

You Ate has you take a picture of your meal and then you answer the question - Was this meal on your path?   Then it asks you a few other things.  Where did you eat?  Who were you with?  I'm giving it a go to see if I like it. If anyone else is on it, let me know.

Team work!

Penny and I are getting ready for our big 5k in only three weeks!  It has been great to have a partner to train with.  Thanks Pen!

This past weekend was the best I had done in awhile.  I did the full Tan on Saturday and then Fawkner for another 2 km on Sunday. The next goal is to get at least one run in during the week.  UGH!  I hate getting up early but I am exhausted by the time I get home.  Grrrrr....  No win.  I suppose I could do it from the office?  Hmmmmm....I'll think about it.

no peeing!

One of the many things that has me freaking out about the half marathon is the toilet situation.  I HATE and ALMOST refuse to use a public toilet let alone a park toilet.  But I absolutely needed to do a 4km today and I DID IT!!!!  But I really had to go about halfway through.  I can not believe I did it but I actually used one of the park toilets.  It was surprisingly clean.  What am I going to do for four hours?  Particularly when I will be drinking a lot of water?  Issues!

 

JJ Monday Motivation

I love this one because I think I do forget to dream big. I am so caught up in the small wins and the little ups and downs that I forget what the bigger play is.  Thanks JJ for reminding me!  I want to be a healthy, super healthy, machine.  And gorgeous!  :) 

Sunday Weigh In

Normally this would be a very depressed post as I hit a 8 YEAR HIGH this week.  WOW!  I just couldn't believe it when the scale said 267.2.  That really hit me.  That means I have only kept off five pounds since the original fat camp. I was in a bit of shock to be honest.  All this time, MONEY, effort for 5 POUNDS!  But maybe that was the wake up call I needed?  Maybe?

I have had a good two days since then.
Today I weighed in at 264.2
It made me glad to be on top of the issue.
It reinforced that I can make good decisions.
