Can you believe that the summer is coming to a close? I have three weeks until my kids go back to school. What a summer it has been. Victories and setbacks. Motivational highs and lows. We were pretty much on the go for about 6 weeks. Traveling to races or traveling out of the country to traveling to NY for a wedding. I'm glad that is all behind me. I had a great time but ready to move on. After we got back from the wedding almost 3 weeks ago my motivation has been less than stellar. Practically non-existent. Everyday I would say, "Self, this is the day, this is the day we get back on the band wagon and get back into shape." That lasted until about lunch when I ate everything in the house I could find. This routine has gone on for about 3 weeks now. Since June 19th I have gained 10 lbs. If I don't get the eating under control and get back to working out I will gain another 10lbs. by Christmas.
So I have a plan. This is not something I would normally do, but decided it would help me become accountable. I am joining a 90 challenge at the gym that starts on Sat. I will be given personalized workouts to do (which will incorporate my training for the Goofy challenge in January plus biking and swimming) I will be responsible and eat healthier. I will have weigh-ins. I will not let my team down. I will not be the one who doesn't take it seriously nor the one who loses it for the team. I'm hoping this will jump start the athlete in me. Little by little I am losing that title and I want it back more than ever. But that means being disciplined and active. Stronger and healthier.
I have a big 2011 planned. So I better get crackin......
