[Mum Runner] Now that summer is almost over
And September is right around the corner, it's really time for me to
get back into running. I miss it. I miss how I feel when I run. These
past few summer months have just been so crazy! Vacations, day trips,
birthdays, cookouts, etc. left no time for anything. Allbeit, they were
good times, too good! I started my new job last October taking a paycut
but with the idea that I would have more time, which to me, is more
valuable than money. Well, I keep finding ways to fill that time and
make life hectic, but I'm not filling it with the things I had hoped.
But now it's time to get serious.Here's the plan:Get back into
running.That's as far as I've gotten. I need to spend this weekend
thinking about the food and nutrition. Do I want to do points? Do I
want to do clean eating? Do I want to do the BFL plan again?Each has
it's strong points:WW Points: Lots of variety, easy to work into daily
life and cook food for the whole family, but gives me the option to
have junk. I always feel that I eat way too much junk and processed
foods while doing WW. Why? Because I "can". If I could stay away from
the junk, this would be the best option. Plus it would fit into my
massive couponing craze that allows me to buy non-clean foods for
cheap.Clean Eating: Still lots of variety, I like the foods and eating
this way, but it can be tough to cook meals for the whole family. Not
sure if there's enough structure.BFL: Pretty much clean eating, but
with structure. Maybe too much structure. Not sure if I'm ready to
embark full-force into this plan again because it can be
time-consuming, although I was my fittest ever when I did BFL.So, I
need to think what will work best for me. Any opinions? (if there's
anyone still reading :) )
