Been A While…
Still working out hard but I have renewed focus with the diet and cardio. For me, it is mostly about eating right and being disciplined with the cardio training. I have no problems lifting hard and lifting pretty heavy but my issues deal with loving food. In the South where I am from, food is the center of most gatherings and the center of social events. I am talking good tasting, terrible for you foods. I have not endulged with them much lately but for me the challenge is jsut staying disciplined with my choices. When I do that…and I do the cardio, great things like a slimming waistline and semi-visible abs start to happen. SO I re-learn and re-apply the lessons that I have learned over and over again and not suprisingly, they still work.
So now, I am getting ready for spring and I am working to see those abs (all diet for me), and get rid of the little bit of fat around my waist. It does not get easier as I get older, but my methodolgy is evolving into a more sustainable "long-term" focus.
It is easy to get discouraged at times but we all just have to fight through those tough times and keep your eyes focused on the prize…better health and better looks and better fitting clothes. Winter makes it more difficult for me, but keeping it going thru the winter and actually making some progress puts me way ahead when spring actually comes.
more to follow….
