...the tough get going? We are finally back in the gym and I have set real goals that have to be accomplished within 4 weeks. There is a lot of pressure, so I’m taking it seriously. I will be focusing on maintaining or increasing (if possible) lean body mass and dropping body fat. I have a lot of work ahead of me. The only problem is that I have to get used to waking up early again. Monday and Tuesday workouts were rough on me. I was feeling so sleepy and stiff, I couldn’t get in the zone. Usually good music can take me there pretty easily, but this time around not even “30 Seconds to Mars” could fire me up. It didn’t help that we have been working late on the website all these nights. However, I finally have my fitness and meal plans up.
Performance-wise I would rate my workouts as “FAIR”. I was going through the motion with every exercise, but my head was still in bed. Hopefully I will have a chance to recuperate and get some much needed sleep this weekend.
By the way, while on the elliptical machine, I have started reading Harvest of Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating by Jane Goodall. So far it is very good, and even though I have already been aware of some of the issues that the book touches on, I’m still finding new, interesting information. I will post my review when I’m done with the book.
