I have been struggling, too - I've been forcing myself to run in the snow since I have a race coming up, but before that I was doing workout videos at home, and that helped a bit with keeping me from being completely sluggish. My eating could still be a bit better, though :/Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389230644265855869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987505375865273920.post-29743691259728312432014-02-06T06:42:08.376-08:002014-02-06T06:42:08.376-08:00Why are people so amazed when others don't wat...Why are people so amazed when others don't watch the superbowl?

And I have to say that this proves my theory that you need to live with your SO before the marriage thing. The stubborn-as-hell-spoiled-mama's-boy sounds familiar, and had I not lived with my ex that may not have been obvious until we actually got married. <br /><br />Everything is going to be not just alright, but BETTER!!!

Your laundry list of changes reminds me of why I'm doing this. Your introspection helps me see that what you're going through as well as what I'm going through doesn't define me if I don't want it to.Jennifer McCarrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409300088957035006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987505375865273920.post-35995460109151988292013-10-04T06:51:23.762-07:002013-10-04T06:51:23.762-07:00You look amazing!!!!

Of what, I'm not really sure, but I was a nervous wreck and almost didn't sign up and could hardly sleep. I think I only told like 2 people I was doing it in case I didn't go! Especially considering that you have been sick and therefore your exercise has been on the backburner, I would suggest a goal of something like "show up and actually do it." Don't set such high expectations that you end up letting yourself down! <br /><br />Now, a few race day tips:<br />* Show up early<br />* Try to stop at like McDonald's or a gas station or something to use the bathroom first so that you have a lower probability of using nasty porta-potty<br />* Nothing new on race day! Don't chug extra water or wear a brand new shirt or eat something weird.<br />* Let yourself "rest" the day before. I usually make sure to take a walk or bike or something to keep my legs from getting stiff but no "hard" workouts.<br />* Especially because you've been sick, don't be afraid to walk. This is a 5K, so lots of people walk the entire thing!<br />* Have fun!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389230644265855869noreply@blogger.com
