Time to dig deep

Hey reader. Today was a fantastic workout and it helped relight the fire. I cleaned stairs at apartment complexes  (as I will be doing every thursday for work). After I got home I wanted to have a real hardcore workout. I've been slacking a little lately with my eating, and i've been trying to at least break even.

Today I went paddle boarding and tried to make a whole workout on it, and in the lake. By the end of my about hour long session I did: 50 sit-ups, a 1 min. plank, 30 sec. side planks on both sides, 24 reverse sit-ups (when you raise your legs instead of your torso), a little swim (which I haven't done in that lake since I was a little kid. It felt good. ), and my usual 3 laps around the part of the lake where I know I can swim back to my dock.

That insane workout motivated me to eat strictly and properly again. I'm tired of working out as hard as I can, just to break even. I'm done! Time to get back to business and remember what I'm doing all of this for. My health and to tone up (especially while the lake is still a resource to me).

I just finished overhauling the fridge and pantry, and threw out all of the old vegetables I won't eat and the junk I don't need. I even had a little talk with my mother so she won't bring any new trash into the house for a while. I'm motivated now, but I'm not sure how great my will power will be when actually tempted. Either way the fridge and fruit bowl are ready to be refilled, and I think I did my inventory pretty well. I can't wait 'till I go grocery shopping this weekend. Because of all the work I've been doing for the family company I can afford about 2 oz. of oolong tea, too. This fresh start is going to be a good one (my screw up wasn't even too awful), I can feel it.

So this just goes to show you, just because you aren't doing great that's no reason to stop. It just means it's time to dig deep. So until next time, what are you digging deep for?
