Dear Friday, I gladly welcome you not only because you’re Friday, but because you’re also a day off this week! Dear Kristen & Robby, I want to wish you congratulations as you get married this weekend. I’m honored to play a small role in your special day! Dear self-control, you need to get a handle on this eating thing…. FYI, just because you see it, doesn’t mean you need it. Dear self-discipline, you’ve actually been kicking butt, despite your evil friend self-control. You’ve been up every morning at 5am whether you want to or not to get in a workout, painful or not. I’m pretty proud about that! Dear Caroline, oh sweet Caroline, you’ve been the greatest fitness partner this month as we’ve tackled PT with a vengeance! I will miss you dearly! Dear Self Magazine, thank you for including Ellie Goulding’s Half-Marathon training plan because it looks absolutely perfect and seems to incorporate so much more than running and I’m so excited to start training for the Wine & Dine Half-Marathon in August!! Dear new triathlon training plan, you quite possibly will be the death of me. I don’t understand the crappy swim terms you use or how to de-code them. You have me taking hellacious bike rides and runs that have to incorporate hills and such. Am I just suppose to find the largest hill I can and go up and down it continuously? Because I’m pretty sure I don’t have rolling hills sitting around me that are perfectly timed and placed to match the ridiculous requirements you have for bicycle training days!! Ugh… I know you’ll be good for me and we might possibly possess the most ridiculous love/hate relationship, but it wouldn’t be so bad if you weren’t so dang confusing! Dear friends, get your Home Town Hop posts ready for Tuesday!! I’m excited about what I have to share! Are you?!
I have trouble with the same “Just because you see it, doesn’t mean you need it” issue!
It helps me to look at the description of food on containers/packaging (for example, candy bars). I remind myself that I’ve had peanut butter/chocolate/almonds/whatever before. There’s no need to eat it again right this second, it’s probably not going to be discontinued in the next five minutes!
I’m happy to hear that self-discipline is winning! Way to go at getting up early to workout!
Way to go getting up at 5!! P.S. Is Ellie Goulding’s half training in the newest issue of Self? The one with Kesha on the cover?
Giiiirl. You need to come up to North Mississippi by where I live. I’ve got some hills for you. Seriously. I swear 1 of them is 1/2 mile long. It’s awful.
Oooh I’d love to hear about her half training plan. I’d love to train for something like that, I just am not a runner. Have a great weekend!
