So far I got a few behavioral goals. Cardio 30 minutes at least 3 times a week, Yoga at least twice a week, and hit the weights at least once per week (for now). I am still wantign to focus on balance, core strength, and flexibility. I haven’t really figured out what I want as a goal as far as nutrition goes. i do know that I need to get more fiber in my diet for various reasons. I am not sure about where I want to go with anything else. I’ll just have to take it day by day. I am proud of myself today though. We had a cookout at work and I ate a regular plate like I had some sense. I had a slice of cake and ice cream hours later. Last time we did this I ate so much I had problems keeping my eyes open while driving home. So I think I made a few good food choices today
I practiced doing some squats without weight to see if I could get my hips below 90 degrees without any pain. Everything felt pretty good other than the thought of leg day returning. i love squatting and pressing and curling and extending, lunging and stiff leg deadlifting, but i never feel that way after my first day back into legs. I know most folks are like that, but for me sometimes, I get some pretty bad pains in my hip flexor area. i am going to do quite a bit of warming up and stretching prior to hitting it.
New goal: post progress pictures at least every month. I don’t like looking at my pictures and seeing how bad things are. This is probably why i haven’t done it in a long time. But i’m going to face reality and post those picture up.
That’s it for the 3 am thoughts.
