Run Sarah Run: Fist pump moments

I know I'm not alone when I sit here and think about all the times I have compared myself to others.

Whether its been about how many more kilos someone has lost / how much taller, skinnier or prettier one is, or how much fitter or a better athlete one is, it's hard not to. It's in light of this that my fellow 12 wbt'ers have decided to celebrate the mini achievements we're reaching along the way, instead of trying to beat each other with the kilo's we've loosing each week. It's all about the Fist Pump Moments when we've smashed a pb or got up at 6 am for a morning work out or gone to bed early. And with that in mind I thought I'd share my top 3 fist pump moments for the week.

FPM #1 ~ Getting a PB on my 12 min time trial

Today was just one of those days, where all I wanted to do was come home and veg out on the couch. I'm soooo tired (Probably because I'm lacking the sugars and caffeine from the soft drinks I've stopped having); My nose hasn't stopped running all day and it's raining outside. All the voices in my head kept saying I can't be bothered but somehow I managed to fight it, jump in the car, head down to the river and just go for it.. And I'm so glad I did. I smashed my 12 min time trial and managed to reach 2 km - so YAY I think that's what you call a double fist pump !!!

FPM #2~ Kicking My Soft drink addiction in the butt

A little while ago, you may recall me saying I gave up soft drink. Well I did for a little while but then I went to Peru and discovered their Inca Cola... Bad Sarah, I know, but it was traditional and just sooo good! Ever since I got back from South America I've been trying really hard to give up soft drink once again. I'm happy to say that's now been 6 days since my last coke. (I used to have one every day).. The best thing is I've now found a substitute and enjoying a cold fruity Tea 2 herbal tea instead. You should try it!

FPM #3 ~ Not having a vodka with the girls

18 of us 12wbt'ers went to the local pub for dinner on Sunday night to celebrate a birthday. The old me would have ordered a vodka and soda, but instead I ordered just a soda water with fresh lime.

Things I could do better next week are to go to bed earlier so I can get up at 6 and get my work out of the way and cut back on carbs.

And of course on a final note, here my fav foodie pics from the last few days!
