Ok so here is what has been going on in my training world since I wrote this blog as a way to spread my insights in weightloss and training as well as keep me accountable for working out. Ha! That last part is rather funny. I have this terrible habbit of avoiding things when I am behind on doing them or have been lazy. I have been having a terrible time working out lately. Infact, I haven't been working out at all. I was supposed to start my training a few weeks ago and having recently been sick...again!...it's been really challenging to even get back to doing anything. So, since I haven't been doing much of anything, I haven't been writing. I didn't want to get back on this blog and write about how I haven't been doing anything again and sing the same song I feel like I've been singing for so long now. So that is why there has been a long lapse in blogging.
Last Friday, April 4th, I received another email letting me know that I had been accepted as a finalist in the Team Chocolate Milk Contest! You can vote HERE. I was really excited to hear this since I didn't get in last time. I've been given a second chance. If you haven't been voting for me, it's ok to start now, and if you have been voting for me, keep it up. Because of the second chance in getting into the contest I felt like I needed to get back to working out. I felt like I couldn't be in the contest and not do anything. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't workout and continue on this journey to be on the Chocolate Milk Team. So I put something in to motivate me that would probably motivate anyone...money.
I signed up for the BikeMS race, I signed up for the distance I wanted to do, and I booked the hotel. After looking at the final bill I was so much more interested in biking and getting my act together that if it hadn't been almost 1:30 in the morning I probably would have biked, but it being so late I decided to go to bed instead.
That all being said, tonight I restart my training and I don't know how much I will blog during this. I will probably blog alot more than I think I will, but I'm not super sure.
So here I am starting up my training again and using $$$ as a motivator. I'm excited for warmer weather to start golfing again. Some of my golfing buddies have been talking about hittin' the links when it gets warmer and I am rather excited about getting back into golfing again. I didn't do much golfing last summer because of it being my first year of being married and being lazy. I'm excited about getting back into golf. I need to get my clubs regripped with my new grips that I bought a few years ago. I also got some new Nike Golf shoes although they are nothing like the ones desgined for the Masters, which by the way comes on TV this Thursday through Sunday! I'm excited to watch it!
Here is the tweet @NikeGolf sent out about their new shoes:
Designed for Augusta. Engineered for greatness. http://t.co/j9v7hx1hxe pic.twitter.com/EnSSNNcofy

I'll have to post some pictures of my shoes and golf clubs after the clubs have been regripped. I will also be posting some pictures of our golf outings as well as my training from biking. Right now with all the rain, I've been biking inside (and by right now, I mean last night (this got is getting posted a day late)), but once I get outside I'm sure to be posting photos.
Thanks for listening and don't forget to vote for me for the next Team Chocolate Milk!
