Tonight I was weighing our garbage as part of an upcoming series on conducting a home waste audit. Due to the awkward size of some of the bins I had to weigh myself holding the waste. Which of course means I have to weigh myself without holding the waste. FML.
As our Go Green Get Fit Challenge comes to an end I have been reflecting on the last 12 weeks. I learned a lot about how to improve my workouts and food from an environmental sense from my own research but also from following along with my fellow participants. I also final came to terms with my biggest obstacle....food. Originally I thought it was time but really when I examined it more I realized that was just an excuse. How can I say I don't have time to make dinner when I have everything in the house and instead opt for Joe going to get takeout...which takes 30-40 minutes.

Your motivational poster up there ^ is one that I printed out and put in the compartment of my stroller to look at when I got tired of running. Because this time, I'm not letting myself go again... I've worked too darn hard to start over again! And yes, black beans rock!
ReplyDelete@Laura - that is an awesome idea! I assume that it works and pushes you to go that extra mile?
ReplyDeleteI love your list of what you learned Jen. The key for me is sleep. It's sets me up for the entire week! Did you get pink running shoes? I would love them :) Congrats on a job well done.
ReplyDeleteI am terrible with getting to bed on time (like right now!). My shoes have not arrived yet. I really hope they come soon!
