my main goal for phase 1 is to make exercise a habit and a way of life again
this past week was a flop
i'm NOT giving up
this week coming will be better
as is the Never Say Diet way
i'll start over again
i must complete one month before moving on to phase 2
i'm bummed but not discouraged
the fight is on

some motivation required

(via Just be spLendid)

i have not exercised...
at all...
so far...
this week...AHHHHHH!!!!!!

{deep breath}

okay...
monday...exhausted!
tuesday...exhausted!
wednesday...not prepared & too late!
thursday {tomorrow} ... must be better
rest of the week... need to kick butt!
{no more excuses}

i'm having a hard time falling asleep at night,
so, of course, it catches up with me.
i've had this problem for quite some time,
but it has been BAD this week. {any suggestions?}

good stuff: breakfast every morning {check}
more water {check}

give away from fellow blogger

Tricia from Endurance Isnt Only Physical is having a give-a-way.
Read some of her info. here, but go to here blog for the chance to win. {GOOD LUCK}

...

Safety is everyones first priority, right? Well maybe not, but it should be.

Luckily the people at Road ID have helped Tricia out. No, they didn't send her a running partner. Although....she's open to that if they're reading this :).


They did however send Tricia a different type of training partner, one of their new Wrist ID Elites.

As the name implies, it is an ID you wear on your wrist. They also have ankle IDs, shoe tags and necklaces. The IDs are engraved with your personal contact info and medical information to be used in case of an emergency.

"The Road ID speaks for you when you can't speak for yourself."

Here she is sporting hers:


Tricia has worn it on every run in the last week. It's super comfortable, she doesn't even notice it is there. Tricia likes that the band is rubberized and easy to wipe down because, lets face it-she sweats. :)

Thank you to the people at Road ID for letting her try their product, it is now a staple in her training.

And they have very generously given YOU a chance to get a Road ID of your own. One reader will win a $31.50 gift certificate (which is enough for a Wrist Elite AND shipping). The contest ends 11:59 EST January 26th.

{ahh, the good 'ole days}

and lost something i loved
shame on me
i
{secretly}
have always wanted to be a runner
so here i go
time for me
again

i ran 5 x a week
is was great
time to get back on the path

Breakfast the AM

banana bread with cream cheese

rye bread with cottage cheese and honey
(via Kym @ Flickr)

raisin bread with cream cheese
(via kegsotduff @ Flickr)

NO, NONE of those were my breakfast...but...

This AM had 1 slice of bread and 1 slice of cheese (swiss)...yeah protein! Also, here is some 411...I have IBS so dairy is a bit tricky for me...but THANK GOD, really, I do THANK God that it worked...because I LOVE cheese. Now it worked because it was a small amount AND because I consumed it with a binder...bread. I tried to find a picture similar to what I ate, because I forgot to take a picture...and couldn't find a boring picture the way my breakfast looked....BUT looky here...found some good ideas for future. Share any good ideas you might have (Breakfast with protein). I would appreciate it.

excuses, excuses

Excuses, excuses, what can I say? It's been a while since my first post. I do have an excuse, which I'll share, BUT I do hate excuses...so trust me I feel bad.

Anyway, here it goes...after posting I went to visit family. Playing around I hit my toe hard against the wall and my nail popped up...yuck and ouch! So, first excuse I've been waiting for the toe to heal to wear tennis shoes again. I think I'm good there.

BUT... Second excuse, SICK! Flu and sinus infection, which I'm still trying to get over.

SO... What do you think? Excused or bum? No matter what I feel like a bum.

But I am determined to move forward on my journey.

Stay tuned for my Week 1 Training Plan and goals.
