I've said this before, but I need to say it again, I am so thankful for Traci and this blog, otherwise, I'd be on my butt all day long. Since I moved to Houston, I've found it so hard to get off my butt and workout. And I've found it so easy to go out and eat. If it weren't for this kind of motivation, I might be the size of Texas right now.
Today's workout went well. I really had to peel myself off the couch today, but once I got working out, it felt great. I focused on each move to really push it. Push-ups were not monstrous today. Those lunges burned a bit. Jumping jacks... I hated them during the warmup, but loved them during the final round.
PS I met a guy today that just completed his first Ironman. He did it in 15 hours. After training for only 3 months. Mind you, he was already very fit. But dang. Inspiration!
Ok, that guy - 15 hours, holy crap. Now that is brutal. Inspirational yes - but for me, I'm just happy that I'm still breathing at the end of these days :) That's good enough for me, for now.
ReplyDeleteI am also very grateful that you are doing this along with me. I never would've continued - and thinking about this blog is what motivates me to move my ass and get trucking on a daily basis. Let's just hope it pays off and we both finish in Feb. :-)
