The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Starting any workout routine is a difficult thing. It is so easy to get derailed.

I started off strong three weeks ago. Then I got sick.

Four days later I got really busy (yeah, I know, not a really good excuse).

Last week I did well again, but then Christmas hit.

So, the good is that during the first 2 1/2 weeks, I lost about 6 pounds.

The bad is that I haven't really worked like I should and I haven't focused on my nutrition like I should.

The ugly is that in the three days since Christmas, I have gained a few pounds back.

So, I have to recommit.

That is a hard thing sometimes. Excercising when you are tired or have other things going on is a very hard thing.

The reality is that it only takes about 30 minutes per day. When I excersise in the morning, I don't don't have to take an extra shower. Anytime Fitness, where I workout, is exactly on the way to the office so I don't have to go anywhere I am not already planning on going. I bought a car (we had been using a single car for our family for about 20 months) so I have no excuse of not having a ride when the weather is too cold or wet. Christmas is over so all the treats are quickly going away.

I am out of excuses so we should really be on track to do this right.
