This is my online journal. It is an outlet for me to put to paper (or keyboard) the thoughts swirling around in my brain. My intentions are to focus on my fitness and weight loss journey and solely to benefit me. It may seem a little selfish but no apologies there. If I happen to pick up a reader, here or there, especially if they have mutual aspirations, yay!
So what have I been up to?
A camping vacation. Which is not a vacation. Don't kid yourself about that one. Birthdays. We now officially are parents of a 4 and a 2-year-old. Kiddo stuff, every day all day. Running. Yoga. I heart yoga. Beach bootcamp. Beach bootcamp? Yep, $10 plus gas to drive to the beach for someone to get me to move my ass a little faster and a little harder than I would myself. And 10K training.
I'm following the "Own It" plan from Train Like A Mother. Two shortsih runs, one speedwork session (either hill or intervals) and one longish run. It's going well so far. I both love and hate speedwork. I hate the actual doing it. I love how I feel after and this is what I must do if I indeed want to be faster and more fit. My plan calls for a 7 mile run tomorrow, eeeeek! Every time I say that "eeeeek!" in my head, I tend to correct myself. "No, you got this. Don't set limits for yourself. Just go."
I have been talking negatively to myself for so long, it's taken awhile to retrain my brain. I'll devote more of this to a post I'd like to do on body image but it's crazy how out of hand negative self-talk can get. How quickly it happens.
Oh, I'm also down 2 pounds. 2 more and I will have reached 30 lost so far. That would be halfway to my goal. Then I will do a little "yay me" dance.
