As the days pass by, I find myself looking for ways to challenge myself. This current workout streak has really pushed me physically and mentally. My body has adapted well and my energy levels are through the stratosphere. It's been great trying new workouts like the kettlebells and battleropes. P90X has really tested my limits but I'm enjoying the training thoroughly.
The one feeling that I truly missed has come back. There was a long period where I felt like training was a drag and I really had to push myself to even get one workout in. Days off were amazing and very little thought was going into my next training sessions. I was just getting by and maintaining. Talk about boring.
Now the very thought of missing a day brings me down. I sit down and map out my sessions and am constantly searching the web for ways to bring my training up a notch. It also helps that I'm surrounded by some great trainers at the gym who give me advice on my routines. Having an outside source to guide you really helps to look at your training objectively. It's easy to focus on training the body parts you like most or doing the same exercises because you're used to them.
The first big test of this streak is only days away. This weekend is gonna be loaded with Superbowl festivities as well as the annual Jaegerball. Let's just say that there will be no shortage of food and the beverages will be flowing.
To add to all of this, my first weigh-in since I started this new training regiment is coming up next week. I don't usually stress out about weigh-ins. I feel great as it is and the numbers won't change that. However, I have set some very lofty goals and a few of them have everything to do with those numbers. I'm really excited to see where I am in relation to those goals and see what changes if any need to be made.
Hopefully the streak goes past this weekend. If it doesn't, it's not the end of the world. I think I've earned a day off and some nachos and wings :)
Mmmmm. Nachos!
