Thanksgiving week is my favorite week of the year because Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday! I love Thanksgiving, the food, the smell, the food, the binge, the treats, the seconds, the food, etc. What I don’t like is – absolutely nothing! I love going to the store and getting my items. I love the crowded parking lots, the way families come together to celebrate and gather over the feast. With all the food I will be eating I must stay on track to lose my half a stone to a stone weight! I want to be in perfect health for my Princess Half Marathon and I am going to be! I am going to PR! I am going to excel and I am going to ring in 2015 happy and healthy and 2015 will return it back to me with everything I asked for!
So this week we will continue to work it out!
Physical goals for the week – exercise Monday through Thursday!
Personal goals for the week – not to feel guilty about eating on Thursday (and Thursday night and Friday morning and Friday evening and maybe Saturday)!
I Love Mondays!!!

Monday is my favorite day of the week! A chance to start new, a fresh beginning, and a new week of great possibilities.
I love Monday so much people know if they want something from me and they ask me on a Monday, there is 99.9% chance I might do it (of course, within legal ramifications).
This Monday I am back on track with the goal of completing my training for the Disney Princess Half. I am eating well (today). I ran/walked 5 miles (today). And I am possibly going to take a spin class because I am in a great mood.
In short, don’t phuck up my Mondays. It will not be good for the rest of the days of the week as I feel Monday sets the tone on how the week will go. Screw up my Fridays and that’s okay because we are only two days away from Monday.
Set a goal, complete the goal!

When I set a goal I aim and try to reach it but sometimes I get hit with curve balls that make me lose complete sight of my vision.
I set a goal to PR on my next half marathon race which is the Disney Princess Half on February 2015. I want to beat my previous time of 2 hours and 3 minutes and come in at a time of 1 hour, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. That time is my true goal (but if I come in at 2:02:59, I am fine with that!). But of course I have been procrastinating and just being ugh about getting into shape.
So I am putting it out there – starting Monday, November 10 we are going to be on a serious mission to drop 3/4 of stone (everything sounds better in a British accent)!
I will have three cheat days between now and the end of the year – the day of Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving, and the day after the day after Thanksgiving. Christmas dinner – is just Thanksgiving the remix so I don’t need that as a cheat day. And I don’t drink (but I do get seriously drunk on Sparkling Apple Cider) so New Year’s Eve not a big drinking holiday for me.
Then I seriously start training on December 1 for this half. I just need to set a goal and complete a goal so I can feel like I achieved something in 2014.
Starting your own business is a total mind phuck.
More on that in the next post.

Middle of the Month Update

How’s my challenge going? IT IS GOING! Somewhere. I think.
Seriously, I have been doing well on it! I slipped on Monday by having a piece of meatloaf but other than that I have been committed to my no-meat stance for 90 days (that piece of meatloaf just added another day to the challenge). I have been running although no yoga yet. I have been working out consistently although not at the Y. But I am getting there. I am scheduled to take a spin class with my friend tonight. Scheduled being the operative word.
The point of my challenge is and always has been for me to take a better initiative towards my health. I don’t need to lose weight and I am not aiming for that. I am trying to tone up and lean out because I want to be strong with a bit more muscle definition.
Just wanted to take some time to give an update to all three of my followers. I know you have missed me. Work has taken a bulk of my time (click here), family has taken another chunk, and Bravo reality shows have taken a slice (don’t judge me)!
Anyhoo, I am getting there!!

It has been a week and I am keeping my end of the bargain (although I am the only one who is in on this deal) of this 90 day challenge!
A review of the first week:
Meat – didn’t eat it.
Exercise – I did it!
Yoga – zip
YMCA – zip
Overall grade – C+/B-
This week I am focusing on taking 2 spin classes at the Y and I even roped a friend to join me. Tomorrow I scheduled myself to do yoga at 9:30 a.m. Last, I planned out my meals for the week so I am one step ahead of the game.
I wanted to tell you I am doing a smoothie challenge for the month of April. Check it out here. I’ll let you know what I think at the end of the week.
Also, this morning I ran 2 miles at 10:15 a mile. Go ME!! I am getting there.
Have a great day!!
