FINALS ARE OVER!!! Renewed commitment to my peeps!

Y'all!

Just wanted to let you know how terrible at accomplishing my goals I have been this week. First of all, it started Wednesday when a co-worker took me out to lunch. He paid, and of course insisted that I get a soda as well. I was weak, and gave in. Unfortunately that led to worse decisions through the rest of the week. I had a 'pick-me-up' drink to help me get through the sleep deprivation that I caused myself by writing a 10 page paper in 2 days, my boss paid for lunch on Friday for me... another soda, double date with my friend C.J. and his wife to a SL Bees game led to another soda, and the wonderful BBQ for my brother-in-law resulted in 1.5 cans of soda being consumed. To add to the terrible nutrition choices, I didn't run... I got caught up in school, and yard work and playing with friends that I failed.

--Renewed Commitment--
The original goals stand... 4 Liters of water, run 5 days a week. Simple right???????

We'll have to see.
I have also added a few goals,

1. It takes 21 days to form a habit, so I need to stick with this routine for 21 days, tomorrow being day 1.

2. SP -- All male JABI marathon runners will have a Soul Patch. This will help remind you of your own personal goals. It can be neatly trimmed or extremely bushy according to your desire.

3. Keep a food journal! Record every piece of food that touches my lips, every beverage that tantalizes my tongue, and every snack that satisfies any craving.

and finally

4. READING!!! I have a few books that I'm going to start reading. I'm starting with more of a story book titled "Born To Run" borrowed from my brother.

Follow my blog... Comment on my posts... This is the type of motivation I need to keep me away from the soda. I need to be accountable, and you are the people I will account to, so comment/follow to let me know who is there!!!
