Getting through Day 2

Yesterday was like many first days. It was the start of my latest weight loss initiative -- 30 pounds down by the end of the year. So, like most first days it went very well. I woke up at 5 a.m. and went to the gym, I ate my oatmeal for breakfast, a few more calories throughout the day and even drunk a good amount of water. It's 1:20 a.m. and I can't sleep, so I'm even about to bust out some push-ups and sit-ups. All good stuff.

But what about tomorrow -- day 2. I've found that if you can make it through Day 2, you might be alright. It's the day after the initial thrill of newness is gone and you say to yourself: "Oh crud, I actually have to keep this up." I think I am going to be okay though. The key is taking it one day, one moment, one meal at a time. Waking up and realizing that each day is unique within itself and that this is another opportunity to get it right.

So, that's the plan .. tomorrow I will wake up renewed, go to the gym for my cardio and weight reps. I will drink water throughout the day and keep my eyes on the prize. I might even catch a second workout once I get home - maybe jump roping!

Oh yeah and here is the link to my favorite fitness magazine: www.fitnessrxmag.com
