RES

I'm finally not late to wish someone a happy birthday? I hope yours is great!!

Right? Though honestly BO and a good workout sweat smell are pretty different I need a shirt that says that My workout was great, feels good to be back in the gym again! The Plan.... Food: 6/7 Back on track now that the holidays are over...D got Chinese takeout Wednesday that was not on plan Exercise: 5/7 skipped my long run today (going to do it tomorrow, changing my workout days) and my strength workout Thursday since I was feeling under the weather Down Time: 6/3 yoga, reading, and crocheting were all done this week! Got an email from my Submariner this week, also got news that a good friend of mine from years ago made the decision to discontinue her treatment and let nature take its course (she has type 1 diabetes and has been on daily dialysis for almost 10 years) she's at peace with her choice, has said her goodbyes, it's tougher on those she's leaving behind. It goes without saying this has been a week of ups and downs...

Trust me when I say I'm restraining myself...I make her mom send me pictures daily! Went to the gym today, ran intervals...near the end of my workout someone gets on the treadmill next to me with a gallon of cologne on....why do people do this???? Forget judgement free zones I need a fragrance free zone in the gym 😣

Back on track for the most part...few things were not as planned but overall it was a good week. My son called and my beautiful granddaughter is back up to 7lbs I'm certain she's telling her dad she wants to come to FL in this picture! The Plan.... Food: 6/7 Back on track now that the holidays are over...D and I hung out with the mama's yesterday so didn't really stick to the plan Exercise: 5/7 skipped one day at the gym and didn't do my 5k this weekend...D asked if we could go to breakfast instead and while it may not have been the best choice no regrets Down Time: 7/3 almost too much of this... Have another 5k set for the 26th so that gives me a couple weeks to get back into the swing of things...

I just turned 50 so no judging here! Great job this week!

Ohhhhh, I know this one!! It's West Side Story...I remember watching this back in high school (which was longer ago than I like to remember) as a modern Romeo and Juliet type story

Obligatory RES challenge disclaimer: At the end of the last challenge I fell off the face of the earth...because I became a grandma!! 😍 (excuse the glasses, I'd drove for 17 hours and my contacts were irritating my eyes) This little one is the reason I will always be broke... Also the reason I disappeared and my goals kinda got put on the back burner for a bit...needless to say she will be the reason I recommit to them because I want to be around for a long time to see her grow up 🥰🥰 6 years ago tomorrow I joined NF...all my challenges are in my signature if you suffer from insomnia 🤣 I've learned a lot about what doesn't work for me but also learned what does...for example I learned a lot last year...2019 was a tough one, I almost lost a lot more than I wanted to, though at the end of it things had definitely improved on many aspects...this year we're moving forward with the knowledge we've learned and earned! My basic structure of last years challenges worked so well for me that I've given them a new acronym and am going to use it again The Plan.... Food: Continue (okay, start again) making the 24 hour plan, eat on plan when hungry, stop when full. Exercise: I'm following NYAR 10K currently, points for when I do what is scheduled (including rest days) Training plan my fluctuate depending Down Time: Three times a week (at least) take time for me, this can be journaling, crocheting, or time to read. This also includes excursions with friends, or anything else I want it to! UP: As in "Give UP" anything that does not work for or serve me...this year is about being a bit selfish. I'm also going to give up some debt this year, we'll pay off the first major expense and possibly get two eliminated! What would a RES challenge be without some 5k's? January 11th - 1st 5k of 2020 February 15th - Mud Girl Run (My 1st OCR) May 16th - Blacklight Run
