I always seem to stutter start when I am actually ready to make the change. Frustrates me, but at least I know me! I have stuttered around for a month, and I think the fire is finally lit. Well, I know it is.
Today I hit the gym with the old, fall back, BFL weight workout. I had tried to go away from it because I have basically been doing it off and on for the last 10 years! (I can't even believe it has been that long!) But last night I was thinking... what has worked for me? Why try anything else when I know what works? So, I am doing the BFL workouts, but this time, I found VERY different exercises to do since I was so bored before. Hmm, what a difference! I found some things that may be in my list of favorites forever! :) Also, I was so completely finished when I got done with my last set. I have not had that with the other workouts I have tried.
Also, I finally thought, and I mean really looked, at my eating habits the last month, well, the last few years! I have been doing all this working out, but not fueling my workouts. What do I expect? Seriously Jro? Come ON! So, today, I am taking a hard look at every meal. I had my beloved cereal for breakfast, and though it was great fuel for my workout, I think I will eat a much smaller portion tomorrow. See how that works. Also, when I got home from my workout, almost before I put up my journal and my gloves, I fixed myself a delicious Chia protein shake! Fuel those muscles that are sure to be sore tomorrow!
Lastly, I thought that I had signed up for the Transformation challenge, but apparently I had not. Divine intervention for sure! haha! I figured it out last night, and so this week actually marks week one. Sweet!
Thanks for the continued support while I talked a good game, but wasn't quite living up to my potential!
Oh, and please pry for my running partners shins. They are keeping her from being able to run. Makes me so sad because I really (selfishly) like having someone to run the long runs with!
