It is the beginning of May, why in the world am I thinking about the resolutions I made on New Year's? Hmm... maybe because these were promises I made to myself that I would actually do this year. I've never been faithful to them and for the first year in my 27 years... I can say that at this five month check-in, I'm doing really well!
I have not had a drop of soda since January 1 and while I thought I would miss it. I honestly don't. I find myself drinking so much more water and it not only helped me lose another 7 pounds to hit my WW goal weight, it has made me overall feel so much better. I feel cleaner and not so "bloated" as I used to with soda. So far, so good with that resolution.
I have completed a 5k which I loved and I found it fueled my need for a "goal", however, I knew I needed to continue to step it up. I have just about 2.5 weeks until my triathlon. While I am BEYOND nervous, I am so excited to complete this goal. When I cross that finish line, I know I am going to be overwhelmed with emotions and I cannot wait. I still have a 10K and a half to run this year... I am planning on doing this. There are a few races this summer and several this fall I am entertaining the idea of entering. I also plan on doing another tri before the summer is over.
This whole competing bug is ADDICTING! Yes, it takes time and effort, but it is time and effort WELL spent. My body has completely transformed since February when I started training. It is almost amazing what my body can do now. I have abs and triceps that I have ALWAYS wanted.
I still struggle with healthy eating. While I am good 80% of the time, 20% of the time, it is still hard. I am getting better each day with the choices, but I know this is a life long battle.
Other than that... I am happy! How are your resolutions holding up? What challenges can you present to yourself? What can you change to still make them happen?
