Working on a new strategy

As promissed, I am writting every other day. Today I feel a little blah. Monthly pains, I am getting old, I feel ugly, whatever. You know what, I just found out that I was right about some people, and it depressed the hell out of me. Some times you found out you were right and it still sucks. Specially when they are people you think are friends, and it turns out they are not. So anyway, I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself and I had one of those WOW moments when everything cleared and I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and get my ass back to work, and of course, work out.
I am trying a few new things, and hopefully in the next few weeks I will give you a progress report that does not involve the word backtracking. Love you all...

Life gets in the way

Well, it is true, life gets in the way. Sometimes you don't work out because "life gets in the way". Other times you decide to eat junk food because you got really busy with "life getting on the way". After a while, living can get on the way of all your goals if you don't step back and realize that you have to live life and not let life live you.
I have not written on this blog for over two months. I had some weeks where I worked out every day of the work week. There are some weeks that I only had three days to work out. The bottom line is that even working out more than before, most of the time "life got in the way" and I did not eat as well as I should have. This is the plan for the week:
I intend to work out at least an hour every day this week. I plan on eating more fruits and vegetables this week. I plan on spending the weekend revamping my work from home plan (now that I have a full time job from home I want to create a business I can run around my schedule, in order to maximize my income). I need to learn to make this site and my space interesting, and then I am going to start campaining to get more people to look at what I have to say. This week, however, I plan on writting every other day, until I get used to spending that much time in front of a computer again.

Improvements come slow and steady

I am not focusing on weight LOSS anymore. I am concentrating on improving my health and my body. This is the first lesson I learned from the first 20 pages of the Secret. Yes, curiosity got the best of me and I am now reading the famous book. It is common knowledge that I am a big believer in some forms of self improvement (self help for the skeptics). This book expands on a concept that several other coaches talk about at length in their programs. You achieve what you focus on. I choose to focus on how great my body is and what I can accomplish. My new goal for this month, to be able to run the 2.5 stretch of beach I normally walk three times a week. Why is this a big deal? Because before I started reading the book, I could not run for 10 seconds, let alone a mile or two. Tomorrow we will do the first full walk with my new running shoes which includes a one mile run. On Wednesday I will probably let you know how it went. Keep trying.
