Sunday 9/16/07 - The Domino Effect

Its funny how one thing can effect another and then another and then another. Up until a month ago I was going great. Running a few times a week. Diet wasn't too bad. Pretty consistent with the P90X training. Swimming at least twice a week. I had lost about 12 pounds and was down to my lowest in years of 178. Then I just fell apart. First it was my kitchen situation. The remodel took about a month longer than anticipated so eating better became a more difficult task. Then my knee starting giving me major problems. This resulted in me having to back off from my running and even some of the P90X training. Then I just began to eat worse and worse and hardly do any exercise. I even fell off my blogging. After reviewing past blogs I have found this to be a pattern. I am on top of my blogging when my life is more in order. When I'm eating better. Exercising better. Work is better. Homelife is better. But when I begin to sink, I fall apart.

I've gained all my weight back. But the kitchen is done. My knee is still messed up. But I'm ready for P90X again. Work is difficult. But I'm swimming with new found motivation. So here I go again. I'm ready to work hard and discipline myself. Even with the holiday season approaching, I'll be tough. I won't be mad if I choose poor diets occassionally, but its the bigger picture I need to focus on. Portions baby, PORTIONS.

Tomorrow it will begin. Morning workout. Better eating. P90X after work. Then coaching. Sounds like a lot, but its what works for me. I need planning. I need a schedule. If I don't have one, I get lazy.

If all works out well, you all should be hearing a lot more from me. If not, well, then most likely you all can draw your own conclusions.

Tootles!
