Well I guess I lied, new blog not till after the 1st... So here until after the new year!
I been down in a rut lately. Just had a lot on my mind and have been letting it affect me more that I want it to. Maybe its the holiday season. Usually it's a great time to be around family, friends and overall happy time, this year just seems more of a saddend feeling. I read a quote that got me thinking and has helped get me out of my funk. Still in one but it will get better I am sure, I will deal with it and keep on going! NO I am not mad at anyone, NO I didn't do something to make the wife mad haha it was just me and how I felt... Time to kick it in high gear!!! Have Tough Mudder/Warrior Dash/Marathon waiting for me in 2013!!!
SAYYYY WHAT TUBBY??????? MARATHON????? I have been going back and forth about competing in a marathon. Why not run the half marathon first? F that haha once I know how hard it is I will not want to run the full so go big or go home SON!!!!! I want a fun one, like the rock and roll one. The one where they have a band on corners and what not. I know I will not be fast at this run. Hell I would love to finish and get a metal!!!! Would be great! This will keep me running even when the snow hits here in Illinois. I hate running on a treadmill. I get so bored and end up cutting my runs short! I love running outside even does anyone even read my blog? haha if you do message me on fb 1 and 2nd person that say they do get free 2nd place looks good on you tshirt, get ahold of me via text or fb... ok back to topic if its cold. I think what I really love is running past Teds Garage, McDonalds, Pizza Hut and the Mexican place... Know why??? THE SMELLS!!!!!!! Damn it makes me smile when running past those places. It just smells so good and I can get my fix and NOT have to eat it. Mexican I usually have once a week tho. Shrimp Taco Salad! So damn good but mcd and teds and pizza hut smell amazing when you are 2 miles into your run!
The quote that snapped me back was this "You've gotta wake up every morning and ask yourself, 'How bad do you want it?' How much work are you willing to put forth for the things and people you want and need in your life? Nothing great comes without effort. But I promise you that if it's something of great meaning in your heart and something you need in your life... EVERY risk, EVERY step and EVERY drop of sweat will be worth it.
That quote helped motivate me when I needed motivation. I have given over a year of my life to get into the shape I am now, and I plan on giving the rest of my life to get in the best shape I have ever been in. I love helping people achieve their goals and helping them any way that I can. Friends have told me that they have started to watch what they eat, workout, and make better decisions because of what I have done and that shocks me when they tell me that. Never really thought of it before but it feels pretty damn cool. I want to get into great shape really bad. Well how about good enough shape to do my messed up runs and challenges haha. Yes I have made small sacrifices, but it is well worth it because of the way I feel compared to years past!
Christmas is right around the corner! I set a goal to weigh 210 by Christmas day! I will fight to hit that goal the next week and half so here it goes! Hoping to stay on track thru the holidays with all the food, parties and friends getting together! Can not wait to set the 2013 New Years Resolutions and beat them down!!!
