#No Excuses Mad Lib Fun with Sweat Pink

  • Share
  • Tweet

I am participating in the Sweat Pink #NoExcuses challenge this month as a way of staying on track with my fitness and healthy eating. The fun & fit folks at Fit Approach have come up with a mad lib of sorts and I thought it would be fun to participate. When was the last time I did a Mad Lib? I love a good challenge especially one with prizes. So here it goes:

Sweat Pink|challenge|No Excuses|blog challenge

 

  • Hey 2015, it’s me  Deborah from Confessions of a Mother Runner

  • This year I would like to Avoid more running injuries, tone my arms a little more & crush that sprint triathlon I’ve signed up for.

  • It would also be super duper awesome if I Cut myself a little more slack this year. It’s not a resolution, though, just a reminder to myself to try and have the best year yet because I deserve it of course!

  • The things I am looking forward to most this year are Getting my RRCA Certification in April & Ragnar Cape Cod.

  • I’ll use the one thing that truly gets me out of bed in the morning which is coffee , my kids I mean my exuberance to start the day (LOL) to help me get up, get Moving and get after my #NoExcuses 2015.

  • I vow to move my body and be more healthy this year even if it means I have to Get up earlier on the weekend.

  • Even if my alarm clock gets eaten by the dog in the middle of the night, I’ll still will be at those group runs and early spin classes.

  • I will stop blaming the kids for eating the rest of the M and M’s when everyone knows it was really me. (Me and the kids).

  • I will reward myself by signing up for more races and buying more workout clothes of course!

  • No Excuses 2015 has just begun and already I am imagining myself a winner. I can’t wait to rock a Hoodie from Augusta Active. I can’t wait till my sweaty friends are jealous of how fresh, clean and put together I am between workouts with help from ShowerPill body wipes. I can see myself rocking a Warrior pose in new  “Rock the course” Capris (see pic below bc I love these already) from Actio926 and looking fit and fly while doing it. And of course, I’ll be taking my workouts to the next level and improving my balance & core with my new ActivMotion Bar to help me train for my next  Half marathon race with Sasquatch Racing.

  • Oh, and let’s not forget how amazing my favorite sports bra will smell while running and spinning after washing with some WIN Detergent. And lastly, I’ll keep rocking my 2015 with clean eats and nutrition from Beaming with Health!

    • Capri-me 3/4 Legging (Parade)
    • When was the last time you did a Mad Lib?
    • Looking forward to a year of #NoExcuses?

     

    This was such a fun “Exercise”. Thanks Sweat Pink & Fit Approach. Looking forward to a year of #NoExcuses. Want to join the fun? Copy and paste the Mad Lib and see what your #NoExcuses are.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/14/2015 at 2:10 pm

    RRCA training- how exciting!! And those capris are too cute! I need to add more color to my WO wardrobe… all my bottoms are black. You have a few big events to look forward to. I will be cheering you on from this side of the bloggersphere!

    • Deborah Brooks says

    • Deborah Brooks says

  6. Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says

    01/14/2015 at 11:28 am

    I really need to try those Shower Pill wipes. Do they work well?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/14/2015 at 2:12 pm

      We used them at Ragnar and if you have to go somewhere from the gym or a run it’s a quick way to wipe off. You eventually need to shower 🙂

  7. Lauren @ ihadabiglunch says

    01/14/2015 at 11:39 am

    This is such a great way to outline your goals and give you a little boost of positivity and encouragement to look back to whenever you need it throughout 2015 🙂
