Dear James, Daniel and Emily
February was a rough month. Distractions galore, bad weather, stress all combined to make it a bad month from a fitness perspective. But this is the month that I will regain my focus in Fitwinning.
I'm not going to lie, I let myself get away from what I should have been doing in February. I slacked off on my meal tracking. Te weather kept me inside due to snow, icy trails and cold. And When I could have been spending that time on the stationary bike I let it slide. And gradually the presence of junk food took away what little gains I made in January.
But like I said last week I need to regain my focus on 1 day at a time. Make each day about getting another fitness win. By that I mean some kind of exercise and recording all meals, resulting in a negative to my ideal calorie intake. Any day I can get below that line is a fit win. And my focus is to to get into that mode each day, eventually stringing those days together into a week.
Today was a good start, I got myself out of bed and did my 45 minutes on the bike, really worked up a sweat. I tell you, there are few things that match how it feels to start a day with that feeling you get when you complete a good workout.
I have to tell you it feels odd to not be planning and focusing on the St. Patricks Day 5K. But this year is not about running races, it is about overall fitness and balancing that with diet. So that maybe next year I can really tackle some tougher races.
