I spent almost the entire day in bed today. I am still sore from my manic workout yesterday. I'm not going to stop though. I remember what it was like to work out every single day. I remember how good it made me feel and look. I remember people telling me I was "glowing" all the time. I was much happier, and less stressed. It seems that as I gradually fell off the exercise wagon, my stress levels increased a thousand fold! I am finding it quite difficult to get back into that mode, but as I see the circumference of my thighs creeping up, I am getting very upset with myself. I haven't gained any weight at all, but I am really out of shape. I hope it's true what they say about muscle memory, because January is going to be a real test! It's not a New Year Resolution, it's a plan to get back on the right track. I just really enjoyed going to the gym, and it's hard to acquire the motivation to do it at home, even though I have all of the necessary equipment (minus the steamroom which I REALLY MISS!) Anyways, I am going to have to do away with my penchant for pastries and soda pop, which is half the battle won already. I'm doing P90X and it's a real ASS-KICKER of an exercise regime. I love it, and hope to see quick results. I've also gone back to my old standby Stacker 3, which is a wonderful product that has shown me excellent results in the past. I have found that after the first month or so, I reach a plateau and they lose some of their effectiveness. I'm really going to buckle down this month and use the Stacker along with proper diet and exercise n see what happens. 30 Days to a better me. We shall see. I am going to try and post every day about my progress. I only worked out for about 20 minutes yesterday - as opposed to 2 hours a day when I was really into it. I wish I had an elliptical instead of the treadmill. I LOVE the elliptical. Anyway, it's almost 8 and time to go whittle my waist. (Yes, I just ate a bowl of Caramel Cone Ice Cream...so what!)
