Day 157 - Time to Come Back

So many things have been going on since my last post, so instead of boring you with the past, I'm just going to move forward with today. I'm starting to see my real issue of staying on the diet and exercise wagon. I hope on and off from time to time but don't really commit to a life style change, and I don't know why. Wish I knew, or someone could tell me. But let's give it another go shall we. Tomorrow is June 1st, and I love starting things on a first so why not. 


A couple of motivating things. 1) I started school and my first class is a writing class. One of our first assignments was writing about how we write. I mentioned I write a blog and a couple people wanted the link. What's more motivating than people actually wanting to read your writing? So, I figured I should get back into it so they actually have something to read. 2) Also starting the 60 day challenge at Lifetime Fitness. Official weigh in is on Saturday, but I don't want to wait. The longer I wait, the more "I better eat this before my diet starts" days I have, and then I just end up creating more work for myself. 


The eating right part starts tomorrow, but the exercise has been going on. I just need to get more consistent. I take a lot of "I'll just sit in the hot tub" days, and that needs to stop. I have two Spartan races in June, in which I need to perform well at, so there's no time to waste. 


This is what I did today on the treadmill, 4.5% incline at 3.6 speed. And instead of watching Netflix, I watched about 7 videos from the activities assigned in my class. Multi-tasking is a must to obtain all goals. So here I go, hopefully I can/will write here every day, I tend to loose sight of this after awhile as well, especially if nothing new is going on, but I'll do my best. Now.... To enjoy the last bowl of fatty goodness I'll have for awhile... Or 60 days at least.... Or 6... Maybe a cheat day once a week is necessary. Who knows?
