Thirty days goes by so quickly. I can't believe my challenge has come to an end. Thirty days again I joined the Fiber Choice 30 Day Get Picky Challenge. We were offered out choice of Fiber Choice products and I naturally chose the weight management product.

Meatless Mondays



So, I'm at it again! I don't know what I was thinking but I added another challenge this month, Meatless Mondays. This Mon was a little difficult because I was not at all prepared. I was staring in the fridge hoping something meatless would jump out and say, "eat me!" Yeah, it was bad. I forgot that I said I was going to do all juice and protein shakes on Mondays to make it meatless. So, next week I will be better prepared. I plan to hit up the Farmer's Market this weekend.

This challenge started in my running group. We have not set an end date for this challenge. I'm just going to take it month by month. I'm going to say from now until the end of Oct. At that time I will reassess how I've done for the month and decide if I want to continue.

Wish me luck!


Anyone want to join me?

Goals for August?

                                 



July is coming to an end. I didn't meet my measurement goal but as I stated before I believe I know why. I'm starting to think about my August goals so that I can post them. I know I'm keeping my two a days but I think I'm going to back off beef a bit. I realize I ate a lot of beef this last month. Seriously more than normal. Anywho, come on everyone and let's start planning for next month. 

Do you know what you are going to remove, add, or modify for August? Please share

Run for my life...

July is coming to an end. I didn't reach my goal for the month but I'm fully aware of why. In the beginning of the month I had waaayyy too much mango margarita mix. I swole up like a balloon. It was not cute. My face blew up and everything. Once that came down, I had an epiphany about my birthday. I will be 35 and it's five years from the age my mother died. I realized that I began my journey to prevent certain illnesses but I really hadn't dedicated 100%. You get out what you put in. I was losing but I wasn't feeling as good I should health wise. So, a couple of weeks ago I went all in. I started doing two a days and I just started pushing my body harder. I began running through the pain instead of easing up when it began. In two weeks, I see a differance already. Which brings me to reason number two...working out so hard has caused a pause in my weight loss. I know I'm building muscle and I'm fine with that. I'm sure next month I will start to see the .25" drop again. But if I don't, I know that will be the result of Insanity. Yep, I said INSANITY!!!  I'm waiting for my disks to arrive so I can begin on Mon. I'm going to make it drop one way or another to meet my birthday goal and to feel better overall.

So, if you need me I will be running at 430 am or 545 (depending on which running partner I'm with) and again at 7pm. I refuse to let my illnesses stop me from doing anything. They may slow me down but never will they stop me.
