Funny how all kinds of things in LiFe just always seem to get in the way of making a change in your life for a healthier and stronger you. Gotta' admit, being that it's ThanksGiving week... ISN'T much help... and then, of course, the HoLiDaYs are among us.

NO excuses... if you've prepped and are stoked about what you are going to achieve in the next few months... do yourself a great big favor and carry on. Any movement forward is great progress!!!

I am still not up to par, but I AM VeRy aware of what I am or am not eating... There is a conscious effort to increase my water intake with sipping a water bottle throughout the day or sipping caffeine/sugar free teas... AND I have finally started to run a bit more. I'll get that Body-For-Life down before the end of this year along with the Insanity program and an agendaof runs for '2012'!

So.... I cannot complain. I WILL make change happen for a happier ME!

NoT a good week. Didn't even get to start my Insanity/Body-For-Life/Get out n' Run More program!!! Have a call into my TnT coach/trainer to get some information about my feet still feeling Bruised and swollen after the Marathon on 10/09. :/

Had a good day or two last week b4 my Hot Chocolate 5K run diet wise and then it's been all over the place. Finding it real hard to take in the appropriate water day in day out and just don't feel motivated. I'm guessing that I just wish that there was more of a following/sharing on the blog to make me more accountable.

Gotta' get over it!!! Scored a descent 5K time considering that I am NOT getting out much more than twice a week to run, if I'm lucky. (28 min for 3.25 miles) Eh'... I can't say that I mind that final outcome thus far. It's really hard to start getting faster on short runs when you have been training for half a year to pace slower to last on longer runs.... o_O Lol...

Ok... screw this start Monday thing!!! Tomorrow is Wednesday and I want to get out for a 30 min jog AnD get my first insanity training logged in! Really need to stick to the small balanced meals and kick more veggies into the menu! Water, water, water!!! Early day means early night tonight! Make it happen, I must.

This can be the "Pre-Program" test run.... Hummm, Let's see how this turns out.

Ok... today I chose to show my baby girl how to bake grandma's apple pies!!! So much for the run... :/ It's 2 in the afternoon and I haven't eaten a thing... THIS has to change for what I have planned to begin next week!!! For now, tryin' to hydrate more and enjoy hot teas and/or hot water w/lemon juice to cleanse... started the daily vitamins and have to start grazing on the simple carb/protein diet... and try to incorporate some fruits and veggies. ALL just to get started!!! PLANNING is key!!! Have to have the right foods in the house and a schedule of exercise to follow for the week. Keep a journal!!! Of both your food/drink intake AND what physical endeavor was done for the day. Gotta' have it ready for MONDAY the 7TH! Rest day is Sunday and ALL DAY eat whatever you want and as much of whatever you want!!!! This diet to follow is supposed to be 6 small healthy meals a day, 6 days a week but I can usually only get 3 or 4 if I'm lucky... And I usually just eat whatever the familia is eating for dinners, even pizza... just that it has to be in moderation once the plan is started. I just feel that it is important to keep things real! Most of the time... I don't want to eat crap anyway or much of it. It's all a mind set more than anything...

Best of luck on preping and I'll check in once again tonight in case there are any questions or more insight on what people's goals are...

Welcome 'WhitemanSam'... Lol...

First and foremost, You do have it made since you have that quick metabolism! And as for the foundation on my train of thought... well as long as you basically eat for energy, then the times that you eat for pleasure (and all wrong) is alright. Because you tend not to do it much once you change your way of thinking about food.

Personally, you may be good starting a program like 'Insanity' or weights... Idk... what are your fitness goals? Let me know and tomorrow, I'll share a bit more on what I'm going to try to accomplish.

1st of the Month!!!! And I'm not starting the new exercise plan until Monday the 7TH!!! Too much candy and Pizza yesterday... Yes, we're OnLy human! Tomorrow... gotta' get out for a run AND drink lots of water!!!!!! Hopefully by Monday, we'll have some decent conversations! Lol...
