Sleepless and accountable

So I am feeling defeated tonight. Not only has my eating SUCKED this weekend, I made what seems like a big decision for me. With tears in my eyes my running friend and I decided we were not running the Des Moines Half Marathon in October. I LOVE this run! But I am no where near where I should be in the training for it. Life and poor decisions has gotten in the way of my training program and now I don't feel I have time to get to where I need to be without over doing it. Sometimes the pressure of knowing that I HAVE TO run takes the fun out of the run. So for now it is just strictly going to be my workout and mental release. I want to be back at 5 miles on a regular basis so time to set a plan to make that dream a goal. On second note. Yes my food choices have been very poor. I actually got to spend an evening with my hubby, who is gone A LOT. We went up to Boone, IA to the IMCA Super Nationals. It is dirt track racing. I love everything about racing, dirt track that is! I really don't care for NASCAR. The people, the sound of a suped up motor, the way it makes your heart vibrate when your standing next to a running car, the dirt in my hair, the smell of blueberry alcohol in the modifieds, the rush and again the people! Except when they're drunk and obnoxious and I'm not, lol. But anyway we spent 8 hours at the track, until wee hours of the morning. It was a long night and I only ended up with 3.5 hours of sleep before I went back to work. But I am so glad we went! And saw so many people we haven't seen for 4 or 5 years since Tyler quit racing! But this is what lead to poor food choices. Memories and old times made it so easy to run right back to the steak sandwich booth!! Well anyway, the weekend is over. Weigh in is tomorrow and I will hate the scale! But I did it so I will deal with it. In effort to change the slip of bad habits lately I have decided I will be going to the gym every day after work, this will work 4 days a week, and doing one of my tap out dvd's. My dvd player at home isn't working and I can not figure it out. I work out with my client Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Starting one week from tomorrow I will start teaching a class again. We're calling it "Circuit Training". It will be a combination of body weight resistance strength training and cardio. Similar to a strength and conditioning or boot camp class like I have tought prior. I am SUPER excited for this. I am also going to try to make a better effort to get up a little earlier in the morning(meaning 3:45, gak!) and get in a workout I would like to add to my every day routine. Check out the 1000's workout!

These are my favorite type of exercise! No equipment needed!
