Blogging from the car

I have been meaning to post for a while. I've just not been bothering to turn on the Pc when I get home. Which is good for moving myself as once I'm on the Pc I get a bit distracted from everything else., not so good for blogging. I have blogger on the iPhone so I will make use of this whilst the boi drives us home (and back to work again).

The last couple of weeks I've been getting into twitter more and I'm really enjoying it. Moving a bit away from the facecrack (deleted farmville hehe) and I've also been using twitter to meet new people either finishing starting or at some point in between of the get healthy and lose weight journey. The support and camaraderie of the twitter community is something pretty special. I'm really glad I found it and started getting involved. Everyone I've interacted with so far has been really friendly, welcoming, funny, open, honest and so many other great things. So a thank you to everyone I've met so far and will meet.
Since finding twitter I have also found a few really amazing motivational tools. The one I have joined for December is the #DecGTD (link coming one I'm on a Pc). A group of people from all over getting together to support each other and work towards "going the distance" each person has chosen for the month. I am aiming to get in 20 miles on the treadmill and outside. I hope I can go future but after the injuries of the last 2 months I want to start back with something achievable then evaluate and push next month based on how well everything holds up.
Doing the #DecGTD challenge has got me really ex iced about getting my walk / run in as often as possible and I'm looking more forward to it even when it has been a stinking hot and humid day.

I think I need to do some more reading up on twitter and such. There are more acronyms than I deal with day to day and I'm in IT. I'm sure there are easier ways to do some things. All fun though.

The last week for me was a bit slack food wise. I have worked out missing lunch (because I didn't pack it) is the worst thing I can do. I forget to eat or eat very late then mess up dinner and that was the issue last week. I was a slack arse and that's not going to keep flying Have to get back to it. Fortunately all back on track now. I made up q bunch more breakfast muesli and made sue all lunch veggies were fully stocked so all back on the go. Have mega sanga packed again and ready to rumble.

Other random thoughts.
- I actually managed to forget it's snake season. I'm an idiot.
- I've found a new path to do my runs not near the places they like (my old route was more trail and close to water but not very busy)
- I need more ice packs for post run
- I love the new chai tea drink I found!

Okay off to start a new week. GL to everyone in meeting and blowing their goals out of the water. My aim this week is to run no matter the weather, keep up my water intake and remember to ice after running so I don't become a cripple. nothing worse than not knowing which leg to limp on because they both hurt. Lol.



The view from my runs and why I needed a new route.
