So far my journey has been spotty this year...and that's not going to fly for a Florida 70.3 in just 4+ months!
One of the things I am having to deal with is 'inertia' and/or bad habits. It seems I picked-up some bad habits over the holidays. Like sleeping in and skipping workout and, oh yeah, over-eating. How come 'bad' habits are so much easier to acquire than good ones?
The last 2 nights I haven't been able to sleep...and that never happens to me. Not sure why. My friend Gio thinks because I have abruptly stopped partying and returned to a "healthy" lifestyle and my body is fighting back...not used to the lack of toxic activity. :) I love this idea, but I hate insomnia.
SO...having missed yesterday's biking on the computrainer, I am forging ahead and going for a short warm-up 3km run in over an hour. I don't want to overtly punish my too too relaxed muscles. I have learned that when I over do things, I pay for it: muscles stiffen and hurt and/or injuries occur or worse, I miss my next day's routine. Since I am now working out 6-days a week (one day of rest) and some of those days two or even three times...I cannot afford to screw around.
SO...3km warm-up run today...swimming and core exercises tomorrow...biking/running Friday and more running & swimming on Saturday - the latter with my swim coach.
NB: Vital information...I am going to start tracking my stats on a weekly basis:
Today: Wednesday 5th January 2011:
Weight: a hefty 215 lbs (yuck...gained 5lbs over the 2-week holiday)
Chest: 42 inches
Waist: 39 inches (omg)
Buttocks: 43 inches (beat that JLo)
Thighs: 25 inches (left and right)
Calves: 17 inches right / 16.75 inches left
Body fat: haven't checked this lately, but last analysis was approx 20%
