My March Goals
Finally publishing my March goals and how I did with them. They were:
1. To run 120km
2. To row 30km
3. To complete my SEALfit program
4. To work on my (8 week) Bikram yoga challenge.
I did pretty well with all of these goals.
I SMASHED the running goal, running just over 124km with a few days to go.
I also SMASHED the rowing goal, even though pretty much none of the times that I set aside to row actually eventuated. I had to be very concious to row when I had some spare time, but I did it!
I completed my SEALfit program. (I will be repeating this program, and at the moment I've both completed and am going back through the basic program).
I didn't do so well with my bikram challenge. The first week I had gastro, and then in the 4th week I had the week of everything happening (I saw the ballet, got my shift changed, had an appointment, had plans at church, and something else that I can't remember... all in one week). So these two weeks I only did one class, and I needed to do four classes a week. I did a few extra classes in weeks two and 3, but I wasn't able to get back on track with the classes in March. (It's on my goal list for April)

February Focuses
Here are my February focuses!
1. To do SEALfit workouts consistently
2. To run 100km in February
3. Save to $1000
4. To do a cumulative half marathon on the rower
5. Bake once a week
So how am I doing so far?
I'm doing well with the SEALfit workouts. I missed the Saturday one, but did it on Monday as well as Monday's workout. So now I'm up to date.
I'm more or less on track with running. I often do more on the weekends, so it's hard to say right now, but I was right on target at the end of last weekend.
My saving is going pretty well. OF course, I was already partly there as I was saving a bit as I was paying off my debt. I want to save plenty this year so that next year I can do the World's Toughest Mudder.
I'm on track (actually, I'm ahead) on the rower. I'm not including any rowing done as part of the SEALfit workout in this total (and running in SEALfit doesn't count towards my running total), but even so I'm already over 8km, which is awesome!
Baking, not so much. I set aside Saturday as a good day to bake, but unfortunately Saturday was boiling, and so there was no way that I was going to be turning on the oven. I have however planned a few cakes to bake, and now this includes a raw food cake that will be frozen rather than baked so if the same thing happens this weekend I can still "bake" - and even more importantly, EAT the delicious cake!

On Being Me
It's time to start a (new) blog, to record my life as it is currently. I've blogged before, at a number of different blogs (including 3 concurrently), but none of them currently feel like "me", so I've dropped them. But I really like blogging, and I have a lot to say (even when no one listens - especially when no one listens!) so here I am once again.
At the moment, I'm an exercise fanatic. I run, lift weights, do Sealfit workouts, do Bikram yoga, and have personal training twice a week. I'm not especially strong or especially fast, but I'm very determined, and I won't quit unless I have to.
I've raised money for charities through my exercise, including World Vision and Canteen. I rode over 250km to raise funds to end children's cancer.
The interesting thing is, I'm actually pretty sick. I have a whole host of different diseases and conditions that impact the way I live my life every day. This includes taking medications, eating differently, the structuring of my exercise plan, and my morning routine - just to mention the obvious ones.
I have:
- Allergies ranging from mild to severe
- Coeliacs disease
- Asthma
- A polycystic ovary
- Poor bone density
- Lung damage
- Two (very minor) heart conditions (tachycardia, and a functional murmur)
- A metabolism issue (too fast)
- Severe syncope and corresponding pre and post syncope symptoms (syncope is fainting)
In the past I have had:
- Ovarian cancer, leading to the removal of one ovary and about 2/3 of my uterus
- Pneumonia
- Whooping cough (I was immunized, I still got it)
Plus the standard childhood illnesses and injuries.
I DON'T LET BEING SICK STOP ME. IT IS NOT AN OPTION.
This blog is about being sick, being tired, and doing it anyway
