Gym, my BF. Stable and honest.

Oh, yeah. It was nice to get back to Gym, my lovely BF today. He always is there for me. He might be a bit boring at times, but he is a constant, and he tells it like it is. Like when I got on the scale today and realized that I had indeed gained back the 5 pounds I recently lost. Proving once again that if I eat too much and exercise too little, weight won't magically disappear, nor will it stay the same.

So, it is back to pushing once again. I'd really like to shave a decent amount off this year, and hopefully a nice chunk prior to really starting to train for the marathon. Because once that mileage increases, I will be so HUNGRY. I know I need more cross-training, yoga, weight-training, speed/hill training and just an overall weekly mileage increase to help this, as well as cutting back on calories...and really cutting back on the alcohol. It's fully ridiculous how many calories I am able to pack into my body on a daily basis, many in liquid form, and some coming as late night snacking when I get home from wherever the hell I am. Or, like last night, the taco truck in Williamsburg. Which, by the way, is awesome. So, I don't regret it.

But, I started being a bit more aware today and will be even better tomorrow. And, I'll be exercising the majority of days each week, which means 4 at the very least, and more likely 5-6. I truly have no excuse right now to be sitting around when I have this time on my hands. I need to try to motivate to get to some 9:30am spin classes.

Tomorrow AM will be a lovely run with my newly Brooklynized Bex. Turns out that we can do a pretty similar length run starting and ending at our individual apartments. Very exciting news.
