Going to the gym or to Pure Barre or to Victory MMA isn't my idea of a great time but I feel great after my time at those places, so I have to remember that when I am saying less than kind things under my breath while lacing up my shoes.
I have become quite complacent in the past few months.
Missing one work out quickly turned into missing two which quickly turned into not knowing the last time I made my way to 24 Hour Fitness.
Not tracking my food/drinks one meal turned into one day which turned into one week.
Those decisions have consequences...
I have gained some weight.
My body isn't as toned as it once was.
My clothes don't lay as nicely as they did a few months ago.
Today, I made the decision to make a U-Turn. I want my clothes to fit better and I want to have to buy new clothes because the ones I have are too big, not too small. I want to like the shape of my legs and butt again. I want to not have back fat.
Making a U-Turn means focusing and buckling down...
Back to tracking food and drink.
Back to not drinking beer/wine/cocktails unless it is a special occasion.
Back to resisting the chocolate bowl on Rhonda's desk.
Back to drinking more water than I thought humanly possible.
Back to making working out a priority - NO EXCUSES.
On my way home today, I didn't want to go to the gym. Earlier this week, I ordered a new pair of work out pants from Kohl's (funny that I ordered some work out pants considering I haven't been working out). I knew that the pants would be delivered soon, I assumed tomorrow. On my way home, I told myself, if the pants had arrived, I would go to the gym, NO MATTER WHAT. Well guess what, the pants were there.
So, to the gym I went.
I am so thankful that I told myself that I would go.
30 minutes on the elliptical flew by.
15 minutes on the stair climber was tougher than the elliptical but I did it.
Planks, Russian Twists, Lunges and Squats were killer but so good.
75 minutes later, I was done and felt like a champ.
Here's to making U-Turns and reaching goals!
