Breaking the Chains that Bind

I realize  this is the week I have to REALLy step up my workout/nutrition game.  While I am very pleased with the fact that my workouts are kicking my butt (they’re supposed to, right?), I wonder if I am making any strides.  My cardio absolutely sucks and I’m really tiffed about that considering I worked my @$$ off to get my girlie mile run down to a 10 minute mile and now, I struggle with just half a mile.  I don’t want to harp on the negative too much but I am wanting to really get it going.  My diet is not PERFECT but I am consciously making an effort to reprogram my brain and strengthen my will power.  Knowing better means knowing if one isn’t going to DO BETTER and I WANT TO DO BETTER because I want to BE BETTER!

It’s only 10:35 but already I am pumped and looking forward to my evening workout.  It is really getting me going and I’m so motivated.  I am one of those people who find it absolutely FASCINATING to watch the human physique literally morph into something new.  For me, that is what reaching my goal will be.  I have been overweight for so long that I can’t even remember what it’s like to see the definition of my shoulders, back, or legs.  I never really had a lot of definition in my arms and I am itching for that to breakthrough.  My legs typically return the quickest.  I just want to keep the momentum going and I am doing my best to get lots of rest and not become discouraged.
