This blog is sort of a record of my many falls on my face and gettings back up again. I guess in a way that is good, because I am still getting back up. But I could be okay with not falling on my face so much. I had been doing really really well on my eating plan for a couple of months when Thanksgiving hit, which was only supposed to be a one meal, then a one day, and has ended up being a week-and-a-half eat-crap-fest. Well, not total crap, but enough crap that its crappy. (could I say crap anymore? Can you tell the mood I am in now, oh nonexistent readers?!) I am bound and determined to climb back up on that paleo wagon tomorrow and get my caveman on...again. No more sugar, no more grains, and no more crap! I also need to get my coconut oil ramped up so I can get to ketosifying all that fat I am carrying around. Lets just hope I don't end up in the bathroom all day! That has been my coconut oil issue this past week. I just got tired of seeing the bathroom. No other details necessary, right?
I am also trying to get back up on the running thing. I love my bike, like truly love my bike--but I know if I want to see this weight move, I am gonna have to get this butt to running again. I started Couch-to-5K (again) this past week. I mean, I have run a full stinking marathon, and lots of halves, but I am so far removed I have to find my way back somehow. I finished week 1 with one extra fun run with the kids, so now its time to get serious again. I think I have about 8 more weeks left of the C25K, so I am tentatively planning on running the Surfside Shuffle as a celebration and a goal, which will be close to the right timing. I am also thinking of shooting for a half in maybe April-ish. Just did some googling and found one that looks like fun north of Houston called the Bear Chase. One of my boys, the bear-crazy one would be excited about mommy doing that one. I also have a birthday 50-mile bike ride picked out, tentatively in Victoria the weekend before my bday. That one would just be plain fun! So yea, those are the latest goals to shoot for. I just hope I can keep my eating on track so all the exercise does me some good. I am sure tired of being fat.
And honestly, right now, I just need some heart-work too. I am about to shut down this computer and spend some time just me and the Lord by the Christmas tree. I am so....dry, I guess is the right word. I am thirsty, and in such need in my spirit. I have been trying to do it all on my own, and I know that isn't how He designed me. I need His presence, and I need to be intentional about it.
Tomorrow is a new day, and I am thankful. His mercies are new every morning...hallaloolah! (misspelling, intentional!) Peace, ya'll!
