De plane! De plane!

Waiting for takeoff and decided to blog about how crappy I feel because of the last two days of eating grains/carbs.
I'm totally a paleo believer now. I didn't now that half the crap I'm feeling now, bloated and burpy, wasn't normal.
A week off.. In which I didn't miss the grains at all.... Ugh.
Ready to get back on track! Can't wait for running and cooking for the rest of the week tomorrow.
Oooh no one in the middle seat FTW!!

Wins and Losses

Morning Win - Waking up for 6am yoga. 
Morning Loss - Going back to asleep after coming home from 6am yoga. And then waking up again to goto work.

That balances right? #babysteps

At least I'm less sore from Sunday yoga. Forrest ain't no joke, seriously. That move where Mr. Instructor dude wanted us to put on let on the wall and kick the other leg up.....no ma'am.  Yoga is not supposed to remind me of traumatic 6th grade gym classes where I was too afraid to do a cartwheel. 

Not me. But you get the idea.

Yea, I'd forgotten that vivid memory too...until Sunday forrest yoga...

A Week Out

So a week ago I got re-inspired by Houston Marathon weekend.  It's nothing short of amazing to see so many people out there, people who don't look like the cover of runners world...running.  And my awesome, crazy die hard friends who did it.  Joe, Tanya, Barry, Aly..It totally left me inspired.

Google search of runners world covers...seriously?!?

I've been kinda looking for some direction, some inspiration lately.  And in these few first days of 2013, it's already looking like it's going to be way better than 2012.  I'm really looking forward to it.

My 5k race time.  Felt good to do something other than memorial park. And get a medal!

I think fitness wise, I know what I need to do. I think what I've neglected is nutrition.  Which really is like 80% of the results you see.  Back when I was younger and less busy and lost a lot of weight, I only really had to work on the fitness part.  Now that I'm older and have tried to educate myself more (usually in the middle of a why-isnt-this-working?!? stage) I know I need to change my diet. And my lifestyle of boozing with my friends isnt exactly helping the weight loss cause.  So paleo here we come.

Rough long run.  Haven't done one since early December.

Oh and running. Lot's of it.  Moved back my half marathon goal to San Diego in early June. Team in Training for the win.


edit: Just finished forrest yoga.  Hurts!

Houston Marathon Weekend.

I just realized why one finger on each hand has been hurting.  I've been wondering since yesterday, looking to see if I had a papercut I couldnt see or something.

It just dawned on me.  I was ringing cowbells on each of those fingers and thats where the metal loop kept hitting my fingers.  A little bruise is even forming on the hand that I held my cowbell in the most. 

Team in training rocked cheer stop mile 5.

Totally borrowed from Tanya. Lol

(2013)

Screw the recaps of 2012.  I had some highs and a lot of lows.  I'm not going to sit here and type up all of that. So short and sweet. 

2013: Shit or get off the pot.

Let's do this.
