Apparently my scale dislikes Mondays

I mean does anyone REALLY like them? I would say we should have longer weekends but I go all off the rails and can't seem to get anything done in the time I do have off so would another day really matter? Well maybe that 5 am alarm clock not going off an extra day would be nice.

Anyway.. yesterday I mentioned the scale did not move an ounce last week. For the second week in a row I got on the scale on Tuesday morning and it moved. Another 2 pounds and a few ounces down (not counting ounces around here.. ain't no body got time for that) That is 12 pounds! So what does that extra 2 mean? I crushed my 10 pound goal for the first 30 days of Keto in 19 days! I know and still remember that the true goal is not a number on the scale but as I stated before I absolutely need to see that change right now. Hopefully the closer I get to what my set goal is the more I will be open to evaluating what the goal really should be. I do not have an unrealistic number in my head, I promise, it is a normal healthy number. I have also done a lot of research on what losing that kind of number does to our bodies and how I can continue to see improvement in ways other than the number on the scale.

Switching gears here, to other goals, I completely and fully want to run a half marathon in October. Seven months from now. If I stay on target with everything, I should be relatively close to 50 lbs down around that time, which I know in fact is not an impossible weight for my frame to run a half. To me that is exciting, but when you look at the fact that I am currently doing .6 a day it seems SOOOOOOOO far away right? Not really! I took the time to plan it out, see what it actually would look like to get there and did myself favor and did not come out of the box trying to mutilate myself. In fact it doesn't even have me running a 5k until July! A day after my birthday no less, maybe that should be my present to myself a 5k at 50! This is not impossible, in fact it is more possible than any other plan I have ever laid out I believe.

Creepy... the Crawling Crab is on 10/3.. I just looked I did not plan that at ALL! I just knew there was a half in October I wanted to do! So there you have it, my training plan for the Crawling Crab! Which is a half I have always wanted to do! (Drake you should train with me son, we can do this!)

I realize that some may look at my plan and think.. wow.. "I can't do that" and others may look at it and think.. "Well that is pathetic!" I realize that those first few months are LOW numbers, but I want to use those weeks to build that foundation that I keep telling you about. I want to get to that mile and spend a few weeks there crushing it, and working on my time and speed and cadence and build on the endurance from there. It may be the completely wrong way to go about this.. wait scratch that I have tried them completely wrong way for years and that is no training. Speaking of no training, I know one certain someone.. (errrr hmmm Kami) that would be ECSTATIC if I stuck with a training plan and TRAINED for something, to the fullest. She has only been asking me to try it for about 7 years now, having said that.. *Hey Girl Hey... will you please be my accountability person on this? You are one of the strongest runners I have ever met, and I trust you will my truth and my plan.*

I know you guys know I have a website right? Well I have been working on it and rearranging things to make better sense, I posted links to my previous blogs so that if I should perish during my training someone can go back and just print out all of my journals.. still wishing Aunt Reedie left one.. but I truthfully do it for me. It is my journey and some of it is so very dark, so be wary if you go poking around, you may need tissues, xanax and vodka. I want to be able to look back on this (as I did yesterday) and find things, emotions, triumphs, defeats, and use those to work on me. Something I have added for YOU guys though is the link to Cafe Mais Sha, I am hopeful that I will be loading some recipes for you guys. I am going to adapt the recipes for Keto which makes more sense to me, because those not on Keto will likely know what to do to switch it up.

Anyhoo.. here is the link! www.givelivehug.com Enjoy!

Signing off today with this, do you ever make a good solid plan to do something but then just don't do the follow through? What are some good tricks to help stick to your plans to reach your goals?

Peace Love and Light
