Got the house, did the move and now it’s time to get back on track
I took a brief hiatus from training as my husband and I moved into our new digs. Unfortunately the move didn’t go as smoothly as we would have liked. Some of our property came up missing (i.e. a brand new Wii my husband gave me for Christmas) so we’ve been wrangling with the moving company and our lawyers.
Anyway, I’m ready to get back on track because any more procrastinating and I’d negatively reverse the progress I made last year. I did gain some weight over the holiday and move so cleaning up the diet is priority #1. Since I’m rebellious by nature, I have to clean up my diet gradually. Cutting out fried food, soda and candy will be my first and biggest challenge. I do love me some fries but they also love to attach themselves to my belly which is not a cute look.
As for training, I’ll be using heavy circuit training thrice a week, 2 days of steady state cardio to begin (hopefully after finishing tw weeks to a full month of training, I’ll switch to interval cardio).
Time management is a key issue for me. Being a college professor makes it challenging to have a steady work schedule because of meetings, grading papers, and doing my research each day is pretty different. For me to stick with my workouts, I have to do them in the morning. This means getting my internet addicted ass in the bed around 11pm (I’m already late as I type this) so I can workout at 7am. Too many times I’ve let poor planning thwart my efforts to reach my fitness goals but I’m no spring chicken so I need to get to work.
