Thursday (Day 60) was an okay day. I was tired from not sleeping enough the night before and I had a stressful day at work. By the time I got home I was completely exhausted. I had planned to run a 9.7km run that I had missed last week but I really couldn’t I was just physically and mentally drained so I decided to rest that day. It was a good decision.

So Friday (Day 61) was a GREAT day. Why? Because I told myself that morning that I would go out for a run and went through with it even when I was at home and really, really didn’t feel like it. During said run I made three new PRs!!! I was scheduled to run 3.2km and ran an additional 4km! (to make up for part of the missed run).

Fastest 1K - 5:37

Fastest 5K - 31:03 (So close to 30!!!!)

Fastest Mile - 9:10

Saturday (Day 62) was an AMAZING day. Why? Because I made 2 more PRs!!! Literally from start to finish it was an amazing run. The weather was perfect. My knees were good the whole time and the music was just right. If only all runs could be like that. But if that were the case I probably wouldn’t appreciate the good runs as much as I do. In fact I was in such a good mood that I decided to treat myself. (I know you are thinking “uh oh” you should be, lol) My night started at 7pm. I had 3 glasses of wine by the time that it was 10:30pm. Not bad if I say so myself. I think it was after the glasses that I didn’t make smart decisions. My next glass of wine was at a bar. (I only had a glass!) By this point I was RAVENOUS. I had only eaten bruschetta that I had ordered at a restaurant. So I convinced my friends to go to another bar where they had better food. At the bar I had no plans of drinking anything I was literally there for the food. I splurged on half of a personal pizza and a bowl of taco rice. Thinking back on it I wish I had just decided on one or the other but that the power of alcohol ehy? Then a restaurant owner that we were acquaintances with came by and offered to buy my friends and I a round of drinks. There was my 5th glass of wine. I felt bad refusing so I just took it. It’s 3am at this point. I was not drunk by any means but I was not sober either lol. I got home at around 5 and after drinking lots of water fell asleep.   

Fastest 10K - 1:03:34

Fastest 5K – 31:02 ( 1 second! OMG! I can see that getting to 30 is going to be quite the challenge. It’s okay,. Bring it on!

Sunday (Day 63) I woke up pretty late. Around 11:30 am. I didn’t have any hangover or anything. I drank a lot of water and my drinks were pretty spaced out. (I’m getting so much better at it!) I was definitely having a super lazy day though (As people tend to do after drinking). But I needed to go food shopping for the week. I spent about an hour and a half shopping for food and then came back home to prep my meals. I spent about 3 and a half hours in the kitchen. But the prep is done! I am good for the week. I rewarded myself with two episodes of biggest loser. I love the new trainers!!! Especially Jen! I had no idea who she was a couple of days ago and 30 minutes into my first episode I KNEW that I had to join her diet bet. I might not win it because I may not be able to keep up the pace of my weight loss but I will be damned if I don’t try!

 

As a result of these past few weekends though, I have decided to challenge myself. For the next 21 days I will abstain from drinking alcohol. NOT ONE DROP. I know I can do it. I just hope it doesn’t make me miserable. I just have to keep myself busy. Maybe climb small mountains over the weekend. Anything to get my mind away from the drinking that my friends partake in every weekend.
