Update: Begin Again - How To Get Back On Track

Hello!  It's been two weeks since my last post.  I intentionally took the time off the blog to focus on getting back on track.  And, I asked that you hold me accountable.  So, what are the results?

Well, we had the worst storm that we've had in a couple years.  Historic days of cold temps and school closings.  People without power and an ice storm.  It has been anything but ordinary.  Luckily, we were not impacted as much as others. 

Even with all the extraordinary circumstances, I was able to stick to my commitment for two whole weeks.  I got 6 workouts in per week.   Even on the days when I was stuck at home, I still got at least 30 minutes of movement in.  I made it happen because that was my goal.  I did not go to sleep if I didn't get my 30 minutes in.  I also returned to the gym for classes and treadmill workouts.  I do not like all the people that go to the gym after the new year.  No offense if that is you.  Please come!  But, for me, I have social anxiety, and having to worry about what treadmill is available or having space in a class really messes with my head.  So, I just wait until some of the New Year New You people are done.  It's sad, but true.

The best part of getting back on track?  I feel like I'm in control of how I feel physically and mentally.  Even with the crazy weather, I was able to have focus and feel like I was getting closer to my own goals.

I'm excited to keep this 6 workouts a week going.  My plan is set for this week….How about you?
