Read My Mind!

Did my upper body workout last night, as much as I could with this injury. Couldn’t get to cardio this morning so I will have to do it tonight after my spa. Diet is not hurting as bad as I thought. I guess I just want it that bad now.

 Should I be logging all the details??

Body For Life….haven’t heard any unsuccessful stories! So how can I NOT be successful at it? THere will be quite a few challenges ahead. The important thing is to acknowledge them and find ways to overcome them with planning:

 1. Getting to the gym in the morning. I AM SO not a morning person. But only 20 minutes of cardio instead of 1 1/2 hours of training/cardio allows me the time to get in there and move on to work.

2. Getting my meals prepared. I’ve done this before, it’s not so bad. I just gotta keep the cupboards stocked.

3. Extra goodies. I have cheated way too many times. NO CHOCOLATE CHRISTINA!! NO MORE SNACKING!!

4. Journaling….I never liked it. I am sure it would help. Perhaps I should use Bodyspace instead of the book. More practical and maybe more effective since I’ll know people are watching me…

There is one thing that I will find very easy to do……my 7th day! No exercise, no dieting…MY DAY OFF ONCE A WEEK! How can this possibly go wrong??

 So to all you BFL Successors……Can you keep on me??? Give me all your feedback and stories to keep me going!!! I LOVE Y’ALL!!

Monday I started upper body training again. Hadn’t done any since early December. It felt so good to do it again….I had missed it so much. I have been living off of a point in my condition that was last year, refusing to admit how out of shape I had gotten since April of ‘07. Last night when I was laying down stretching after some training and cardio, I looked at the veins on my hands and arms filling up nice and plump. I remember when that first started happening a year ago when I got into great shape and saw my true form emerging. I want to bring that back. This morning I was telling myself things I hadn’t thought about in a long time - us hardcore fitness fans, we are different animals. We can’t eat like the general public. We can exercise like them. We have to eat, drink, and sleep fitness to get where we want and feel satisfaction. I want to satisfy my body again. I want to see my skin glow again, my balance center, my posture erect, my energy high, and my passion back. This has got to be it this time…..no more bullshitting myself. No more relying on others to back me up. ME FIRST AGAIN.
