Ramp Up to Big Sur- Week 18

 With the end of a crazy work schedule, the holidays and knees that are starting to feel a little bit sore I must say I was very happy when my calendar organized itself nicely to give me a rest week. I took almost a week off of work and thought "hey! why not keep my runs on the calendar" but a little voice inside my head- "Yvonne, relax and enjoy a few days" so I took my own advice. 


With all the creations of fabulous "Will do Lists" that my friends have been sharing and the reality that my yoga classes are coming up fast and soon. I decided to re-engage myself with my inner yogi! What an awesome idea it has been. I have not spent near enough time with my mat or just having those amazing quiet Savasana moments. Awh!!! 


I am at my week to get back on it and I can feel the urge calling me- "get on those runners, we want to go" I hope that feeling lasts a few weeks as boy oh boy the mileage is amping up from this week on......


Thank you to everyone who posts cheers on facebook while I put in my miles! Cheers and positive comments about my blog and training as this is going to be the part where the hard work needs to be put in and the support is a "huge" help!

Will do List 2012 by Jessica McCLelland

• Will Do List for 2012

  
  
  
  1) cook for my family - actually cook... cut WAY back on the processed and prepackaged nasty meals that they have had to rely on the past few months!
  
  2) try a new recipe at minimum of once a week... who knows - maybe I don't distain curry?
  
  3) bake - this is something I don't do often enough, also fits in with the "less packaged crap". More homemade lunch things for the kids
  
  4) the term "Muffin Top" will only exsist in lunches - not above the jeans... 
  
  5) find my body again - I am borrowing someone elses right now... I am aware it needs to be this way for a little longer - but looking forward to getting healthy again
  
  6) the treadmill will NOT collect dust!! (4 weeks and counting before I can attack it - slowly)
  
  7) actually ENJOY my year at home - not think of it as a jail term - this is my LAST time being home on baby time and I welcome the challenge!
