I’m not good at this whole ‘keeping to my word thing’. I don’t mean that in the ‘I’m not a reliable friend’ thing. I mean it in for this pathetic attempt at keeping up with the blog that I took so much time to set up. Grrrr it’s frustrating, but I know that once summer rolls around, I’ll be back (hopefully) to more updates. I’m counting on it. So should you. Anyone that works full time knows that it’s tough to do other things when you get off of work, maybe squeeze a workout in, and then go about the other 18173 things you need to do each and every day. It’s amazing that we find time to breathe! I’m even super-behind on the quoteblog, and I really need to get caught up on that. A quote a day has become somewhat of a daunting task. Ahh well, it’s what I signed up for, right? (except that is the FREE blog, and the one I am less passionate about).
My least favorite part about not updating this blog is that I also miss out on following the other health and fitness blogs I enjoy reading. There is never any time! (for blogging…for working out there is always time!) Speaking of time, I am running out of time in my 20′s. I realized the other day that I’ll have to update my profile because I will no longer be 29. Noooooo. And while I feel the year 2013 hasn’t gotten off best in the health/fitness/nutrition aspect, I still feel good where I am at. It was SO slow going, and then it picked up, and then it slowed down, and now it’s back. I feel as the weather is finally getting nice, my attitude has changed once again, and I’m actually sick of snacking/treats, that everything will be back where it was last fall, in no time. Except for the non-drinking part – that ship has sailed for good! (the non-drinking ship…plenty of drinks in my future!)
Well, to those of you who are new here…and you need to get motivated, let me give you a few tips:
1. Read all my old entries (haha. but seriously, try it).
2. Throw any doubts out the window. You CAN do it.
3. Be yourself. This may sound like a non-fitness/motivation comment but it’s true. Don’t try to be the badass at the gym if you aren’t the badass type.
4. Set measurable goals. “I want to lose weight” is a crappy goal. Write down a measurable goal. “I want to lose 10 pounds by July 4th” is better.
5. Go on a No Excuses Tour and be your own rockstar. Don’t let any excuse get in your way of your happiness and fitness.
Best of luck.
– which included our own path around the lake, through a park, and started at ended right at a tavern in Madison – which was perfect. Bloody’s and a bite to eat was a perfect way to celebrate afterwards. Now granted, this race was thrown together somewhat last minute, and we didn’t have custom t-shirts, but we had 15 or so participants, and we are collectively wore green. It was a great day for a run and competition aside from CrazyLegs/NeedyLegs, it’s nice to know that around 10,000 AND 15 people were outside yesterday EXERCISING!
