Funny Friday

Extra points for incorporating in pop culture.

as I get ready for my Wednesday night running club...

I just want to point out that my run on Sunday was AMAZING in that my kms got consecutively FASTER.
I also was very consistent in my walk/run which I think is good.  (I don't know it factually, but it feels good.)
But that faster kms were great because this shouldn't happen.  It takes me three songs/12 minutes to do a km.  So every other km I walk for 2/3rds so every other km should be slow and then fast but I am hustling each km.  GOOD JOB ME!

Psychology of running

I know everyone is using different apps to track their running and they all have some form of this gaming to make you want to run more.  I do kind of love it. 
 - Furthest Run
 - Longest Run
 - Fast Run
Knowing that this will look very differnt in less than two months is an empowering thought.

Of course, they get you with streaks as well.  (days in a row, weeks in a row, months in a row)  

No one wants to break a streak. :)

This one may be the one that freaks me out.  The total number of kms you have run.  I have done 44kms and I am about to go from yellow to orange when I hit 50k.
The highest level is 15,000km.
That is so many kms!!!!!!  That is crazy.
At this rate, I'll hit 1000kms at 60 years old.  Depressing!!!!!  :)

Anyway, the gaming has definitely lured me in to add more miles.  Thanks NRC.

Monday Motivation

I needed this one yesterday as I was struggling to get my running in.  Can't stop, won't stop!! :)

Sunday Weigh In

Melt down last weekend.
Weight down this weekend. :)  Not a lot but at least down. (266 meltdown to 265.4 to 264.6)
I am feeling more supported and empowered this week.  I do have my call with Heather on Thursday morning.  She wants me to have a long hard think about my intentions.
I believe I could give up so many things but when they are in front of me I have no willpower.  It is very addictive-like behavior.
I have fewer challenges than normal this week so an opportunity to be awesome!

We eat with our eyes

Poison is everywhere.  Someone brought me this gift this week.  Little dessert treats that were absolute works of art!  I had one and gave the rest to the team.  (I should have had NONE but I didn't want to hurt this persons feelings.  WHY??  I would rather sabotage my diet than hurt someone's feelings????  What about my feelings????)

The poison is everywhere and I love it.

I just think I need to not have any.  Having some is a slippery slope.
I need to talk to Heather about intentionality.  What is more important?

I love a double sign.
Multiple people being supportive AND being funny.
