thekatisalie Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks. The kids always eat well. I make it a point to not force my kids to eat anything that I am not willing to myself. Something I've done from day 1. By the way, not a fan of breast milk (TMI, I know, but that's the level of dedication I bring). That is dedication. But a good parenting move!

Jittersthe.Clown Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Very nearly bought a Red Bull today (despite a case hanging out under my desk). I didn't, but man, that was close. 5k tomorrow morning. Maybe the beer after will help.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Holy crap do I need a day off...Ran my 5k on Saturday and got a new PR. Stillwater has a lot of hills. I mean a lot of hills. I wasn't ready for that. Went to MN Renaissance Festival yesterday with the kids. Wife wan't feeling too well, so it was just me and them. It was a good time, but a lot of walking. Weighed in a little heavy yesterday. Took some Nyquil last night cause I feel like crap. And today is end of the month, so it's crazy around work. Never fun. Today is the start of a new week. Back at it with no excuses. Gotta work better, harder, faster and stronger (thanks Jess) to get back on track. As my son is now prone to saying any time he's doing something hard for himself, I've got this.

JuiceeTarget Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Good job resisting that demon known as RedBull. Its not easy to do that. What was your strategy for it? What did you tell yourself to convince yourself not to get it? Is it something you can do again next time? Analyzing your successes is as important as analyzing your failures. Keep up the great work!

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thank you. It's been one of the harder things I've had to do in recent memory. Honestly, I didn't really have a strategy for it. I went into it knowing that I may fail. I still might. I now have a few new pictures of my wife and kids at my desk (which is where I usually want it most) that I look at when I get the urge. I think I will be good and off this now, but I remain steadfast. I've received some good water alternatives that I am using instead, which is helpful.

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm getting through everything, but I'm not feeling good about it. I'm thinking it's a motivation thing. I'm not sure. I did have a mini win this morning. I ran the Lift Bridge 5k last weekend and I ordered a XL shirt instead of my typical XXL. The XL fits and isn't too snug.

JessFit Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yeah, you might kind of be in a rut, you might also be struggling to adjust to your new energy levels sans stimulants. You're doing the beginner bodyweight workout, going for runs, and yoga/medication correct? How can you make that more exciting? I mean, running new routes? Working on new yoga poses? Look, you're doing really really well, but suddenly its getting colder and darker and we all want to do less but you totally have it in you to power through this, to make yourself more awsome then before. To push yourself every single workout until you feel like you've achieved a damn good workout! You've come really far, you're down a size and are making yourself a better person, so I know that you can keep doing this because you've already done it. Wear that XL tshirt with pride and as a reminder to make yourself into a better person with each workout!

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm thinking lacking in stimulants might be a key component here. I need something to work on. I wonder if I should sign up for another race? It gives me something to work toward.

JessFit Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 It could help! Do you only do 5ks or have you ever run a 1/2 marathon? I can't even run for 3 straight minutes so I very much admire you! A turkey trott maybe? I know a lot of towns have those!

Jittersthe.Clown Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm on 5ks this year, planning on 10ks next, halves the year after that and a full marathon in 3. I did the Turkey Day 5k last year, and it was fun, but it's hard to get out of the gate with those. Most of what's keeping me from doing one more this year is the cost. And thanks for the motivators.

You could always organize a run or something in conjunction with the circus to get hype up for the circus and raise more monies for the hospital... encourage people to dress up in circus-esque costumes, ect...
