So far, so good

Not a bad little routine I'm doing in this challenge, of course, things seem to go so well when Will is out of town because I don't have much to do but workout and eat right. I hope and pray I get more motivated in my running. Chicago is in October and I'm not above opting out if I don't feel good about how it will go. I keep telling myself it is the summer heat, but right now something in my running just hasn't been gettin' me... It may be because my focus is on other things that I feel are much more important. However, I do think it will be an awesome opportunity to spend time with my family. That's pretty much what I'm looking forward to. Hanging with the Ahtone's in Chicago, but lets be honest? Do I really need to run a marathon to do that? hahaha. Oh well, I'll keep up with the training!

30 Day Challenge Begins TODAY

Drumroll please....

 

I've figured out with 30 day diet and exercise challenges I will be doing and it all begins TODAY! I'm nervous/excited to be making myself stay accountable. I think these two plans can only help my training rather than hurt it... unless of course I end up losing a shit ton of weight, which isn't going to happen. I've decided on my diet I'm going with the WHOLE 30 diet plan/challenge. I have also decided on the work out side I'll be going with Jim Stoppani's SHORTCUT TO SHRED plan, I will be doing this on top of my marathon training, so on the cardio days I'll just be doing my marathon training as cardio. I hope I don't die, wish me luck, fingers crossed, are you doing any new challenges?

 

30 Day Challenge

I'll be starting a 30 day challenge next Monday. I forget why it's so hard to stay dedicated to being healthy in the summer but then I remember summer is my favorite season, and it involves a lot of weekend happenings, beer drinking and frozen treat indulging. With that said, I've been active but it's always easy for me to see a pound here and there when I'm not committing fully to being healthy. I have a birthday party this weekend which will involve being not at home, celebration drinks and lots of fun, so I'm making myself start a 30 day challenge starting Monday. Running is absolutely miserable right now, so I've instead been doing a lot of biking. I know it's not the best idea but then again, it's really not the worst. Zero points for me for signing up for a marathon and having to train during the blistering heat. Dumb, just dumb. Anyway, starting Monday, I'll be getting back into the healthy crap, Will goes out of town next week, so it's always easier being healthy and going to the gym because I'm only cooking for me and I usually don't like being home by myself so I'd rather go to the gym anyway! I'll be posting what diet & exercise challenges here soon. I'm hoping it turns into a 60/90/120 etc. day challenge. Maybe I'll shoot for a different challenge each month!?! Stay tuned... in the meantime, stay cool people!
