I was running laps at the gym this morning when the thought popped into my head, "You haven't posted on that Blog in a Loooong time. Let's get 'er done." And so here I am. Confessing my successes and failures in the workout world the past month.
Success: I'm still getting up early and going to the gym. I'm averaging 5 workouts a week. At least one of those days is devoted to weight training and one day to a long run--I'm up to 7.5 miles now. My little sister, Allie, has been running with me and I don't think there's any doubt that makes her the bomb.com. She's awesome. Last Saturday we missed our long run in favor of a 5K, but hey--a 5K is always a good time! So yes, I'm still in the "keep on keepin' on" mode.
Failure: I love donuts. And cookies. And anything chocolate. And pasta. And sometimes I don't like to eat my fruits and vegetables. In the past month I have consumed a lot of treats. This isn't a good sign considering the "treaty" holidays are upon us. This is a weekend devoted to pie, after all. I could be in trouble. I'm going to try to stay focused on Portion Control this year. The fact that I have two Thanksgiving dinners to make this year should make this easier...and yet harder. I'm working with my roommate, Erin, the sticker chart queen!, to design a Food Journal Sticker Chart--something that will allow me to reward myself for eating right for a week or a month. I'll keep you posted on how that turns out.
So here I am. Still about the same.
