Well I'm four weeks into 'the plan', and things are going pretty darn good. It's a recovery week, so the workouts are a bit shortened, which is nice, I guess. My body probably appreciates it, but mentally I'm just sticking to the plan, and trusting everything will work out.
It's been a juggling act the past several weeks, with family activities and so forth. With my wife actively training for a 1/2 Iron, two of my children kicking off Little League, both of which I am assistant coaching for, and spring has officially arrived, complete with all the yard work trimmings. Truth be told, the schedule has been tolerable. My wife and I are diligent about reviewing our schedules, and making adjustments on the fly. Yes, small workouts have been missed, which I believe I have missed a total of 3, but all in all, I'm not bothered with that.
A wonderful little gift of a cold cracked me in the chops last week....mean little bug. But everything seems nearly back to normal now, so just keep pushing.
Low Points: Last week, my 10 mile run was not on par, as my legs just would not move they way I wanted them to. But, 'get over it' seems to be the mantra, and keep pushing on.
High Points: My weight continues to tumble, and I'm about 5 lbs from lowest point I've been in the past decade. Needless to say, it's exciting, but I want to be healthy and balanced throughout summer, so I'm not really sure where I will end up.
Goals in the next month: Continue sticking to the plan. Continue altering the plan to allow for other events. I do need to improve diet a hair, as I've slacked a bit in the past week, but this isn't a huge concern.
16 weeks to go.....time is a flying!
