Great Workouts, Bad Eating
Episode-106

My holiday trend continues and I am so glad that January 1, 2009 is fast approaching. I have had some of the best workouts and runs but I am fighting the food back (okay, I am not putting up much of a fight with the food). Unfortunately, I am sure that I am just maintaining my weight for now since I have been eating so much. I guess it is better than eating bad and not doing any activity, like I did for so many years.
I am not a big New Year's celebration guy, but I know I will have a few beers and some more junk food. And, like everyone else, I will be back in the gym on January 2, 2009. There will be one more workout tomorrow (the 31st of Dec) so I will have that to feel good about until the 2nd gets here. Really, the New Year can't get here fast enough. I am really want to train hard so I can compete in my first competitive race. There may even be an opportunity to do that before I am actually ready but if I have the chance to run a race in January or February, I am going to take the chance to compete. It will give me an idea of where I am compared to where I think I am.
Hopefully, everyone will has their 2009 health/fitness plan in place. It will make a difference even if you don't see instant results. One thing I noticed back in February and March of last year, when I started working out, is I started feeling better and feeling the difference in my waist before anyone else noticed. Sometimes I think we are looking for friends and relatives to notice first. It probably won't happen, so stick to your program and when you feel the results, then everyone else will notice a few weeks after. Okay, enough of lecturing, just stick to your plan and don't expect instant results. Give it some time!
Since I have been sticking to the workouts and running I will continue to gradually increase mileage and throw in more and more speed days. Speed days along will weight training is helping me increase my overall speed and endurance. My biggest goal is to start off the year watching my food intake. One thing I am going to try: one day per week I am going to not eat anything out of a box or bag. Meaning, for that day I will stick to fruits, vegetables, protein, and water. That will be a hard one for me!
Have a great New Year and remember, the hardest part about going to the gym is getting there!
