Week 10 ~ ??? ~ $2030

Okay, time to take stock. I've been seriously slacking on my training. Can't lie about it or kid myself about it anymore. I hit some sort of training wall. I wasn't afraid of getting burnt out, but I think I did a little. I haven't slacked so much that I won't be okay for the race, but I need to get my butt in gear. Now. I could blame it on a number of things, but the fact of the matter is that I need to do a better job of committing to my workouts. I've allowed myself to go straight home after work too many times. I've been taking it easy on the weekends and eating a lot more junk. I need to be a lot better about how I'm eating and make sure to bring my exercise clothes with me if I'm away from home here and there. Regardless of what else is going on, I need to make time and make efforts to get out and do my workouts. Hopefully it is easier now that the weather is finally breaking (fingers crossed).

The bottom line is that sometime in the middle of last year, I decided that I wanted my life to be a certain way, and that included living a healthier lifestyle, with better eating habits and regular exercise. I've fallen off that a bit, and need to refocus on ensuring that I'm living a lifestyle I can feel good about. It is apparent to me that my lack of commitment to this part of my life is negatively impacting other aspects of my life, and there is no reason for that to continue.

Fundraising bumped up again. I'm now at 88% of my goal with several months to go. I have a fundraising event next week that will likely put me over my goal. I also have several people that have told me they still want to contribute. Perhaps I'll make my $500 over goal incentive!
