Not there yet.
Patience. It's a virtue I could use more of-especially when it comes to seeing results. Look, I know you can't take a body that's been out of shape for years, and turn it into a physical masterpiece in a matter of days. I realize that it takes time.
I also know that the resulting strength, health and energy are worth it! And that is where I'm trying to keep my focus. On the goal. The prize. Ultimate health and fitness.
This too, shall pass.
To that end, I did a 55 minute Wii Fit workout yesterday morning. Then two back-and-forth racquetball games with Paul last night, followed by some weight lifting to remind me which muscles got woken up on Tuesday. Ouch! I discovered that my pecs had been hibernating and my deltoids were in sleep mode. And-though I use my legs every day-I was surprised about my quads and hamstrings being weaker than I imagined, and sore from Tuesday's workout. Made it tough to do the workout last night. But I know (from past experience) that those feelings of pain and fatigue will pass.
Positive self talk and focus on the results...
Last night, I kept telling myself it's worth it. I kept envisioning the slimmer, stronger me. I kept thinking about being able to do more with my kids. About living stronger in many ways. I also focused on the Rose Run-a 5K run/walk that will honor the memory of someone I loved and respected a ton. That's going to happen this summer and I want to be able to do it with gusto!
Good eating decisions and working out despite a strong desire not to: the sometimes bumpy road to Victory!
