Faking it!

I have to thank my buddy Shelli for her tough love.  I was having a moment and she called me on it and told me that if I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm and willpower to just fake it.  So, I am having a pep talk with myself and I am going to tell myself the following things:

  1. I love to drag my arse out of bed in the morning to run.  No, really.  I do.
  2. Salads taste so much better than burgers.
  3. There’s no need for chocolate before bed.
  4. Beer is for chumps.
  5. One plateful is plenty.

I am going to write these in my little notebook right now and hope that if I keep repeating them, they will eventually stick.  The power of positive thinking?  Here’s hopin’!

Quick vacation coming up, full of potential pitfalls.  I have said that my goal is to walk/jog 2 miles each of the days that I am visiting my grandfather.  The only days that I get off are the 2 travel days (it’s 9.5 hours by car.)  I have already told my husband about this goal, so now I am accountable.

No need for chocolate

    I love it when a plan comes together !!

    Also love going on holiday and taking my running shoes - great way to feel grounded in the place you are visiting - you feel like you own it a bit more - going to have to blog now, darn you!
