- I MUST start running again! I enjoyed it so much and feel so much better. As you all know I also had started Insanity a while back and got through a few weeks of it but really hit a wall with other things going on in our life but also due to always being inside. You see, I love running outside, the fresh air, the change of scenery...I could go on and on! My goal over the next month is to work out 4 days a week, 2 days of running and 2 days of Insanity. I cannot wait until New Year's to get started....I think I need to write up a contract for myself to sign :)
- I also really want to start eating clean. I bought the book, cookbook and have loved Tosca & the Oxygen magazine for so long. I know this will also help me to feel better. I just have to commit to making my meals the night before which for some reason is SO hard for me!! Discipline, Andrea, Discipline!! Again, I think a contract is needed. :)
- No more clothes shopping for a while!!! I really must wear what is in my closet and stop buying just to get something new...my fellow bloggers are not helping because when I see what they are wearing I am instantly wanting to run to the store and get one for myself...another contract is needed...I think I am seeing a pattern here :)
So....here are my randoms summarized: work out, eat clean, don't shop! There, that sounds much better!!
Here are some pins that I am loving too!

Now...I hope to convince myself with all of this healthy talk that I don't overindulge tomorrow...wish me luck!!

I am loving your random Wednesday friend! I am with you on clothes shopping, I am vowing to wear what is in my closet and stop running out to buy what everyone has!!! You know I share the love for running, sounds like you have a great plan:) Clean eating, a definite goal, I feel so much better when I do. And I'm going to do that burlap DIY, I LOVE it!!
It is almost like I wrote this post...seriously...
I have been dying to get back into working out. Playing sports in college, combined with a life full of coaches telling me what to do has made me totally rebel and not workout at all. Boo!
Eating clean. I have been doing surprisingly well, but the cookies and ice cream get me every. single. time! I need to stay strong.
And the clothes thing...let me just give you a hint about my New Year's resolution...me - shopping = a whole year of nothing new...shhh! Don't tell anyone ;)
I will be blogging about my plan to not shop for a year in a post closer to January 1!!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
PS: I hope you are not driving up I-35 to Dallas! We will be making our treck down that way early tomorrow morning in order to avoid the horrific traffic!
Have a wonderful thanksgiving andrea! :)

I have the same clothing problem and all the emails with Black Friday sales are not helping. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
I've been shopping my closet a lot more but I agree it's hard when you're constantly seeing cute things on other bloggers. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Love your list. We have been doing p90x2 so I have not been running hardly at all but I need to get back to it! We have been trying to eat a little cleaner but we could definitely bump it up a notch.
Have a great Thanksgiving!!
New follower here! That four week plan looks great. I have been in a running funk, and I think that I am going to give that a try.
i need to get my butt in gear...but after thanksgiving. Hope you have a great one!
I went out yesterday for my first run in three weeks and it was so nice! I was in such a good phase of going every day, but it is hard when you fall out of your routine. You can do it! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I am the same way - if I have my meals planned I eat SO much better. I need to get back into working out and eating much healthier too. After Thanksgiving of course ;)
Solid contract plan!
I'm trying not to think of mine as resolutions, because then I'm sure to throw them out the window after a week.
My baby is due mid December, so I already bought myself a bunch of new healthy cook books and have a walking-to-jogging-to-running plan ready to go.
Here's to new contracts!

Running outside is the best. I need to buy some more cold weather gear so I can keep up my training because running indoors does not cut it for this girl. Good luck sticking with your plan!
Girl, do you know how long it's been since I started working out?? It's embarrassing. I don't think I could ever eat clean...I love all the bad stuff to much!! And I am trying to not shop for myself too....it's so HARD!!!! Have a wonderful time with you family. Thanks for linking up and I love ya!!
I totally agree on my fellow bloggers not helping my spending freeze with their pictures of awesome items I want need must have right NOW.
Great post! I'm with ya on eating clean and working out...and the shopping. I gotta write some contracts myself. I love that DIY. You should totally do it! Hope you and your family enjoy your time together. Can't wait for the recap!
Cheers,
Sara
I know what you mean about always wanting to buy something new. It's a disease. That's why I've been trying my very hardest to buy more classic pieces so that I wont get sick of my clothes so fast.
