...and it begins

Phew.
What a week last week was.
Not a good week. Lots of "stuff" that threw me for a loop

some personal stuff, some scary stuff (that ended up just fine)
some financial stress (of course, 'tis the season)
I ate some much on Thanksgiving, I swear I had a pie hangover for two days!

Then my desktop PC got infected with a virus (thanks hubbs) and it caused some damage so there many, many hours have been spent trying to save it. I have THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of pictures in that PC and backing up info has been a chore. (lucky for me I have a laptop too!)


All this stress has manifested itself directly onto my face and I look like a teenager with all the break outs that have attacked my otherwise clear complexion. Of course, hubby wants to be sure to make fun of me any chance he gets...

But the week is over and I am moving forward with a positive attitude and a plan.
My nutrition is back on track
I have been drinking waaaay too much coffee and not enough water. Certainly an equation that needs to change. I have been having way too many "treats"-
Back to basics for this kid.
Planning out my meals and sticking to it!

The weather was unusually nice yesterday. I got out for a run with my training buddy, Marc. We changed up our usual route and started in Pine Point; once we got a look at the low tide and the beach we took our run onto the sand. It was glorious, awesome and so nice. Just miles and miles of sand to run on-it made me really happy. I even found a sand dollar to bring home to Lola

Training with Coach starts early tomorrow morning and I am ready for a new set of challenges
Funny,
I had a dream last night that my first planned workout with Coach was going to be a Zone 1 run for 20 minutes and I was losing my mind!! 20 minutes!! WHAAAAT???
After reviewing my first workouts, no more of THOSE fears.
I am really looking forward to working with her and love what she has planned so far.

Speaking of COACH she is doing IM Cozumel as we speak and just finished the swim in
