awesome to have this started; i think this is going to do a lot of good for a lot of people!
1. i'm not really sure on my goals in totality, but for now i know i want to exercise 4-5 days out of the week and get strong and leaner. i'd like to gain some muscle and loose body fat and get into size 6 jeans. now i'm teetering between 8-10.
2. eat during the day. sometimes i don't want to be bothered with eating, it just feels like a hastle to stop what i'm doing for the sake of food. but i know if i don't eat my metabolism will tank, so eating at least 3 meals a day is a good start. and a bowl of ice cream is not considered "dinner".
3. drink water. so far i've really made alot of changes. i don't drink, don't smoke, reduced coffee, and generally keep it pretty clean. but water is the thing that cells need, and i could use more of it.
4. feel positive, not negative because i'm not racing. working out 4-5 times a week is a great starter goal, and just because "this time last year i was riding 100's" doesn't mean i'm a slacker or a loser. i need to keep it real and remember that i'm busting my ass and have lots to celebrate.
5. make time to go to the gym twice a week. and sit in the steam room because it's good for stress. so, 2 of the 4-5 workouts need to be at the gym. this is a nice "get away" for me and offers an environment of lots of exercise options. it's a good thing.
6. train jess for her big hiking trip. training her trains me, plus we get to hang out. this will be a part of #5 for the 2 times at the gym, this is something i can do with a partner which will make it even more rewarding.
