The next step?

FrustrationSeptember 15th, 178 lbs … September 22nd, 178.5 lbs … September 29th, 181.5 lbs.

What the %@#& is going on?!?! I’ll tell ya … COMPLACENCY, that’s what. I’ve been doing this since June and I’m back where I started. It comes back on a LOT easier than it comes off.

I weighed in this morning and decided that this is it. I’m taking this to the next level. I’m tired of screwing around. I went out to the park at lunchtime and walked today, first time in weeks. Over three miles.

I have to take into account some indisputable truths about myself. There are some things that simply won’t change.

  1. It doesn’t matter how much I watch my diet. If I’m hungry, I will eat what is around.
  2. If running with others, I will hold myself more accountable than running alone.
  3. There needs to be a variety of exercises or I’ll DIE of boredom.

This is the biggest commitment to physical fitness I have made in my entire life. I want to keep it interesting so I continue to improve and stick with it. I’m on it as soon as I’m done with my stromboli here …
