Welcome back to A - Z and happy weekend! It's G's turn today.
How about I take you to my gym? No? Don't want to meet my treadmill?
OK, if you say so.
Instead I'm going to talk about goals and show you a couple of interesting graphics I found here.
As I'm typing this (less than a week prior to this post being due) I went for a run.
Yes, me!!!
The last time I attempted to do so was 15 months ago. It ended up being more of a photo opportunity walk. Not today, though!
This is what was super helpful not to give up, and I thought it deserved a mention on the blog:
And I did!
It wasn't a long distance (a bit over a mile), I was going super slowly, but I kept going, and I am so freaking proud of myself!
Now on to the food choices. No comment necessary!
Three things:
So if you want the entire cheeseburger - are you ready to hit the steps for 50 minutes? Let me know down below and be back on Monday for H is for health. (Of course, right?)
If you want to find out what others had to say about the letter G, head over here!
Happy Weekend!

This is what was super helpful not to give up, and I thought it deserved a mention on the blog:
- I kept my options open, I could always run for a minute / walk for a minute (and to be honest I expected to resort to that rather quickly)
- Tiny goals: run towards the big tree, will you hang on till the trail makes a left turn, etc.
- Anticipation: almost at school, you used to be able to run to and from school, so today shouldn't be a problem. Hey you've come this far, wouldn't it be great if you stuck it out all the way home?
And I did!

Now on to the food choices. No comment necessary!
Three things:
- Personally I'd rather have the M&Ms than canned beans.
- Wondering why there aren't any grapes as a snack suggestion? They are among the top five fruit with a high sugar content. Others are mangoes and cherries.
- Plus I don't believe 2.5 minutes of climbing stairs do burn 200 calories. See for yourself though, using this calculator. (It's more like 25 minutes!) Check out the calculator, it's fun! I just found out that one hour of brushing my teeth burns 155 calories - in case you'll ever need that information!
