Today I woke up feeling very fat and lethargic. All of the fitness gains I got from my P90 workouts seemed to have faded away as I have not worked out consistently in the past month or so. I have also spent way to much time in the drive up of fast food restaraunts. Today I just feel like a big fat beached whale. I have hit bottom. It's time to start over. A fresh start. We have an 8k race in my home town in July. I'm going to train for it. I have about 3 months which is plenty of time if I start NOW. I will. As I look at my past I have determined that I personally need three things in order to be successful in my fitness goals: 1. A specific measurable time/race goal. 2. A group to train with. 3. Change things up when it gets stale ie run new routes, new races etc. Today I got on the treadmill for 30 minutes alternating walking 4 min and running 1 min. yes, I'm really in that bad of shape. But, I'm a big believer in looking forward, not back!! |
