37 Days till Anniversary

Ish! I got a shock when I counted the days till our anniversary!!

I thought there was more time...

I've lost another 2.5kg since my last post (23 days ago).  So, at least I'm moving forward.  Plus, I'm on track with my goals to weigh 60kg at the end of March.

I think in a life where everything is fast and instant, it really is hard to wait and make slow progress.

Plus, food is just sooo delicious - it's like I can't get in enough :-) Lol.

I'm still doing intermittent fasting although I've learned that there is in fact a difference between intermittent fasting, and time restricted feeding .  I think I'll post about this next time, 'cause it's a whole 'nother can of worms!

I have my 30km road running race coming up in 6 days.  

Pretty nervous about it, since last week I couldn't train like I wanted to :-(

But, I'm keeping myself positive and hoping that with some rest later this week, I'll enjoy the goal I've set for myself and hopefully advance to do my 1st marathon in September this year...

Life and all things good, takes planning and time and diligence.  

The easy way out, is fast, easy and never following through with goals.

So, today I choose hard work and perseverance!

Here's to a good week!!

Day 4 of 21 day challenge

So, yesterday was a fail... :-(
But I'm getting back up again!

I went for an hour walk this morning with baba in the running pram. Super relaxing.
And so far, I've eaten a small piece of meat from last night's dinner, egg & toast, a peach and coffee with milk in it.
I've guzzled some water also since I came from the walk - probably about a liter...

But as I was walking, I thought to myself: how did I manage to shake off 6kg in 3 weeks, the previous time?
And the answer is this: I stuck to the plan 110%!!! No loafing!!
And I realize that I have been very mediocre about this 21 day challenge...

Time to pull up my socks and stick to the plan 100%!!

I'll be weighing myself tomorrow.
Not expecting too much. But will do it anyway.

Alongside the weight that must fall, I am also working towards my dream of running the Comrades Marathon in 2020.
I've also fallen short of my short term goals to build up to it slowly.
And am hoping to achieve them this year.
So hopefully DV , I will run my 2nd 30km race end of March this year.
And then go on to train for my 1st marathon in August.

And that's why I only went for a walk today. And will continue with super low impact training tomorrow (also for an hour), so that I can go run around 18km's on Saturday morning in preparation to stretch my distance: I'm trying to go 3km's further every weekend up till race day.

Enough said for today. Time to start getting busy!

Whoever's reading this - do drop me a line - would love to hear your comments!
Otherwise, just have a super day!!
