Day 79 - 5 Days To Go!

Me in the Manly Dam
run a few weeks back

Wow. Can't believe there's only 5 days of this round left. Crazy! I've done ok, but not amazing. Had some really good weeks, but then I just sabotage it all for some reason. So stupid, cos the food sabotage only feels good for about 5mins while I am eating. And when I'm doing well I just feel super great! Need to remember that and get back into it.

We've had probably the busiest week ever this past week as we've moved into a new house. Super exciting! A real house in Sydney with a back yard. It's such a great place - I think we're going to totally love it there. It was definitely more than we wanted to spend, but as we're putting of the kids decision we've decided to just live this year like we would if we had no kids, and see where it takes us. We do need to get our act into gear though and make this our year. No stupid frivolous spending, but enjoying ourselves. Working hard and playing hard!

Greg's boys came over for the weekend for Greg Day and we had a fabulous time. Between that and the moving though I am exhausted! And I have quite a bit of work to catch up on, and still plenty of boxes. It's straight to the supermarket when I get home, then I'm going to sit down in my new (half-unpacked) office and catch up on at least the emails. Then I think I will unpack some more of the office. I actually enjoy the unpacking, as I love finding everything it's home, and I love the feel of it when it's all done.

I did my first workout in a while today and it was pretty hard! I didn't make it through all of it, but it was a good effort, and I got to do it outside in our backyard. So lovely!

Finally remembered to look up the results for that run I did a few weeks back. I thought I had stuffed it cos I went out so hard and struggled big time on the last couple of kms. However, I ended up 5th female in my age group, and 23rd overall (out of 65) in the 7km. Not bad for hardly any training! The next one is on 9 Feb, which is only a couple of weeks away. Need to try and do a couple big runs between now and then to prepare! Only thing is I think I lost my GPS thingy at the last event, so now can't clock kms. Annoying!

I just read back over my last post which is when I was doing good and feeling great. My revised goals had me down to 78, and 10 days ago, that's where I was, and I was aiming for the 77 or even 76 this round. This morning I was back up at 82. So dumb!  I need to target that feeling again. It's just 5 more days this round, that's easy! Lets finish this round on a roll!
