I'm certain that many have read the book Tuesdays with Maury. I am one of the many that hasn't. I think it is about a guy who is dying and another guy spends Tuesdays with him and journals about it. Anyway, I have my own new Tuesday ritual. My friend that I worked with many years and many pounds ago, Roxanne, answered my plea for a tandem personal training partner and so we spend our Tuesdays working like dogs with Heidi. It is one of the best hours of my week. We work hard, sweat buckets, and feel it in our muscles for the days that follow. I love it. I am still trying to go to boot camp twice a week in addition to Tuesdays with Heidi and Roxanne. I have signed up for a couple of 5K's in addition to the half marathon. I would like to think I could run more than walk, but I am not convinced. I will settle to have a better time than the last 5K in December. . . I hope. I really would like to do significantly better in the half also, but again, it is what it is.
One battle I am still struggling with is FOOD. It is Easter season, so the Brach's jelly beans are fresher and tastier than any time of year. They are my trigger food. If I buy a bag, it is gone before I even get home. BUT, I have gone without Diet Coke, or any caffeinated pop for a week now. I still crave diet coke, but I am giving it up at least until Easter, hopefully until after the marathon. I do sleep better and have some other health benefits from no caffeine, but I miss it. I must have some kind of addiction to good food and good drink. I really would like to lose more weight, and I think I will. I am dedicated to exercise, and hopefully with the nice weather we are in store for, I will get even more active.
I have no choice but to keep on keepin' on. . . .
