12 Week Wellness Challenge

We've all had those weekends when we've partied a little too hard and swear off drinking and smoking for a while. Well, I did not have one of those weekends, as a matter of fact I've been sick all weekend and haven't done too much of anything (which explains my frequent blogging). This challenge, on the other hand, was suggested my some of my friends/running buddies. We spend a lot of time together doing the right things for our bodies, so why not commit to a 12-week challenge together?

The next 12 weeks will be alcohol and cigarette free, with a focus on working out and eating healthy. I'm in the mindset of clean, clean, clean! Not only will I flush out all the chemicals and toxins I've built up during the holiday season, I'll also be avoiding empty calories, dehydration, and missed morning workouts. There's no doubt it will be amazing for my body, but another driving force behind this challenge is that it will be healthy for my mind and my relationship.

My workouts will be more productive, my runs will be better, my mind will be clearer, and I'll be prepared for my upcoming races! Challenges motivate me and I'm already feeling pumped!

I'm sure I'll blog/journal a bit more over the next 12 weeks. I've found that documenting my progress works well for me and keeps me on track. Tomorrow is day #1. Wish me luck!
