Ending 2011 Right!

Good morning!  This morning started off pretty well for me.  I did sleep in a little too long.  I really need to set an alarm clock even though I don’t have to be anywhere.  I am thinking about getting one of those alarm clocks that slowly lights up to wake you up.  What do you think of those?  I really hate waking up to noise.

Fitness
I did it!  I followed my training plan!  LoL, I know, such excitement for me for something I should be doing anyway.  But its been hard to be motivated lately so its back to my old mantra

It’s Not An Option

I wrote a blog a while back on why this slogan works for me.  Basically, you just have to do it.  There is no choice.  The only choice is to be healthy!  I really need to get this on a bracelet or something to wear around and keep me in check!  But seriously, I am ready to get back into the swing of things full force!  So this morning, I got up, moaned about the cold, and put on my running gear.

It was painful, mostly due to the fact that I know I was dehydrated since I didn’t drink nearly enough water the last few days.  Working on that today!  It was also due to crappy eating.  Sugar does not fuel a body.  But another 3 miles under my belt!

Nutrition
I’m doing food blogs again!  I don’t know if I am going to concentrate on them in my regular blogs or just throw a collage at the bottom of my normal post or do a completely separate blog, but you will be seeing everything I eat today at some point.  So far so good!  It really keeps you accountable when you know lots people will know if you did good or not!  And really, after a few days of really crappy eating, I’m craving some nice healthy foods.  My yogurt tastes amazing right now!  Actually, it always does, but I was really craving it instead of cookies or something.

School
Almost forgot!  My last final was yesterday!  I think I did ok and I did well in the rest of the class so that should good.  I wasn’t worried at all about my other classes.  So the semester is officially over!  Now, just have to find a research adviser.  Eek!

So there are only 18 days left in 2011!  What are you going to do to end it right?!
