Back on the Wagon

Over the last few weeks, I have taken some much needed time off from working out, worrying about nutrition, and just enjoyed myself. Perhaps, I enjoyed the alcohol a bit too much but somewhere I'm sure there's a study about a drink or three a day keeps the doctor away.


Well now that my vacations are officially over, it's time to get back on the wagon. What better way to start than the "Filthy 50." (thanks Ken! It's been a while since my hands felt this raw). I was pleasantly surprised at how well I did...finished as RX'd (for chicks) in 24:43.  The last time I tried this was before I got hired (so over four years ago), and I'm pretty sure my time was somewhere in the 40minute range.  So even with taking some time off and imbibing in the spirits, I still cut my previous time in half.  Imagine what I could do if I was 100% back on the fitness wagon!


So as another Paleo/Primal challenge looms in the near future...I am feeling excited and motivated.  I set a goal to compete in my first olympic lifting meet in September, and despite the short amount of time, I am excited to jump head first into training and see what kind of numbers I can put up.

But for now, it's time for a well deserved nap...
