Before/After times two!

I am so proud of Glenn as he is getting up every morning and going for a crazy walk everyday. He has greatly reduced his alcohol intake and is slowing down on his big lunches. So, for a change a pace, I joined Glenn on his walk even though it is not my favorite form of exercise. I had a hard time keeping up! It was really fun. I took a selfie at the end and compared it to a picture of the two of us from EXACTLY four years ago. We both look great. Gotta keep up the good work.

Plan to Succeed

There is no doubt that I do better with a plan and with ritual and routine. Thinking equals failure.

Whether it is my diet or my exercise schedule, if I plan it I have a better chance of actually doing it. And the more exercise classes I plan, the more I do.

Friday	7-Mar		Run Fawkner Park
Saturday	8-Mar		Run the Tan
Sunday	9-Mar		Run Albert Park
Monday	10-Mar		Hip Hop class
Tuesday	11-Mar		Intervals Elliptical
Wednesday	12-Mar		Vtread Class
Thursday	13-Mar		Treading

I am trying to plan more which will hopefully help with all the new things I have going on in my world. The start of my new business is keeping me extrodinarily busy but I have to remember to put healthy and exercise before all else. Planning and routine REALLY help with this. My goal is to really stick to my schedule this holiday weekend and make March my month of routine and REWARD!

If every day was like today...

I just had one of those days where you make great decisions and feel great about what you are doing. I had a healthy, low GI brekkie, a yummy salad for lunch and Andrew made me fish for dinner with melon for dessert. At my lunch hour I went to the gym to do a class that I enjoy.

300 more days like this and I'd be to my goal weight.

Motivation Monday

In celebration of the Oscars, my motivation is to look good in a ballgown!

Does it count?

I went for a run at the Tan today and just could not get motivated. It was so difficult for me to motivate to get over there that it was about 4pm before I finally made it. And then? I ran for about 2 minutes and turned around. I was sore and exhausted but I am sure it was 99% mental.  Must run tomorrow!!!!

Toenails are for wimps

For some reason, I am continuing to lose toe nails which I am assuming is from my running. This is problematic for a few reasons but namely since I keep my toes very well manicured as I wear peep toe sling-backs to work. I am hoping it is a sign of hard work, but I just think I bought my new running shoes a little too small.
