Nice work with those "behaviors"! :D Definitely calls for some celebration. What do you think is different that you are doing so well?

I haven't been on in awhile, but I did have goals last week, even if I didn't post them. They were:

Run 6x - did 6! :)
Core strength (abs, hips, glutes, etc) 6x - did 4
Yoga 1x - did 1
Plyo 1x - fail
Also, I did not gain one single pound over the holidays; in fact, I lost one!! Wooohooo me! :)

This week:
Run x6
Core x6
Swim x4 (the pool is finally open again. time to make up some ground, er I mean water?)
Plyo x1

"Alice laughed. `There's no use trying,' she said 'one can't believe impossible things.' `I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. `When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!'"

Last week:
Enjoy time with the family => DONE
Run 4x, hit the 300k in Dec goal => SOOOOOO close, ended up at 285k. Still very happy with this!
Swim 1x=> FAIL due to #1 above ;-)
But I did get in an awesome MTN bike ride and a trainer ride, so that was a bonus...

This week: Build 1 - bike focus
Run 4X (2 ez, 1 intervals, 1 hills)
Swim 2X (1 intervals + drills; 1 steady)
Ride 4X (to+from work twice; 1 trainer; 1 mtn bike or lsd ride)
Limit carb consumption esp. alcohol, juices, fruits (high GI stuff)

She is a 5 month old female Weimeraner named Helena.


She took over the running position for my absolutely beloved first weim named Rhine... He was 3.5 when he got hit by some a$$hole who jumped a curb and hit him.. I've finally figured out how to post pictures... So now everyone can see my beloved Rhine... May my handsome boy rest in peace and run in the fields of heaven.. I'll meet him at the rainbow bridge one day..

Last week's goals: 7 runs (1 double day)--done, 8 runs, 3 trainer rides--only 2 rides, pilates x3, only 1 class, core x3, only 2 x. Head cold has put a damper on things.
This week: Run 7x, 3 bike rides, pilates x3, core x3, and if my shoulder holds up, 3 very short swims.

It's all harder with this darn head cold. Worst part is that I haven't had a solid night's sleep in over a week now, and that is starting to take it's toll.

No coasting in running and no crying in baseball

If you have the same head cold I had, it totally sucks! Zapped my energy.

I like the Vick's 44 meds ... special based on your symptoms. Not a guarantee of a good night's sleep, but they kept me somewhat OK during the day. Hope you feel better in short order.

Writing.


Journaling is very, very helpful for me. It's like purging... you get all the bad stuff out. Today will be day 7!

I still really hate therapy speak. "Behaviors." "Engaging in symptoms." "Exploring feelings. Healthy weight. Underweight. Reframing. etc.
there is probably some deep reason I hate all those words but I'm not up to "digging" into that one right now.

Last week was mostly a write-off thanks to being sick....my partner's evil sickness caught up with me after weeks of resisting!

Predicated upon my breathing ability (not sick anymore really though I'm still stuffed up/coughing; am hoping I can run tonight):
-4 runs
-1 hike
-1 bike

Other goals for this week:
-continue with good eating! Off of the med causing the worst of weight gain is helping this greatly, but I need to put the work in too
-actually work on partner's sweater (knitting it)
-figure out 2.5 day winter backpacking trip in a few weeks with my friend (birthday backpack!)
-start to clean out gear closet (again)

I owe you an email. Glad you're doing pretty well.

No worries....glad you're doing well too :)

Just got back from 3 weeks in frozen California and jan 3 we were traveling.

I ate with abandon in the US - we always, each and every one of us (except the 9yo) come back from the US FAT. :) I ran twice over the last 3 weeks and biked 2 or 3 times - it was COLD!

So goals for this next week are to get back in the water (and hope for no nortes) at least 3 times, bike at least 3 times and run every day (10/20/30) and hope we don't get too sick with "airplane flu".
