Just one more day out of many
I went to the gym today. I weight trained before doing 45 minutes of steady state cardio (boring). But it did stick in a couple of rounds of jumping rope in between my sets. I figure it could only help. In all it was a good session. I told myself that I would do all the exercises that break me but are the best (i.e-smith machine squats, and deadlifts). By tommorow I probably will not be able to walk without hobbling. Afterward I went to the store to gather the food I will need for this week-so that I don’t have a chance to cheat. I finally picked up some salmon. I don’t know what I am going to do with it. Thinking about a nice marinade. I haven’t had it in years and then it was grilled. So we will see. I have been thinking about ways to increase my water consumption throughout the day. I figure the easiest way is to actually take a bottle into work- instead of waiting till I get to work to start drinking. Hey-every little bit counts right. I also need to keep better workout records….but one step @ a time.

sound like you are on track…but the one issue that might hurt your workout is your mind set on cardio. you call it boring now and it is but that might affect how you do it down the road. get an ipod or mp3 player and crank up the tunes. get someone to do it with you or if you are doing it in the gym watch tv. anything to keep your mind occupied helps. just dont let your mind decide you dont want to do it because it is "boring". good luck

Metallica,
Thank you for your comment. I truely understand what you are saying and self thought definately has a profound impact on how I view cardio. I am making the effort to recognize how my own thoughts can either benefit or hinder my progress. Thanks for the reminder.
