Yeah, I've been to the gym now and again. Went on the occasional walk or bike ride. Heck, I even ran in the hotel gym, but I have not come close to the workout pace I set in 2012. A good part of 2012 I was in the gym 5 days minimum and usually 6. I endured some of the toughest workouts I have ever done. I pushed myself like never before. I was incredibly consistent. So far, 2013 has not been the same.
I'm not an excuse guy, so I won't give you a COMPLETE one, but I will say this. About 50% of the available days I could have gone to the gym were "no way" days. In other words, I was too sick to safely work out either for myself or for others. 25% of those days were "I probably could, but if I push it, I may set myself back" days. I did in fact push it on some of those days that then the days after became "no way" days. It may be generous, but I'd say 25% of the days were probably "It won't feel good, but I can do it" days. Of those days, I probably went half of the time.
So what are we talking here? Well, by my calculations, I've been a slacker for 12.5% of 2013. This is obviously not acceptable to me, my family or anyone counting on me to kick booty. I must improve.
It won't feel good to start, but starting is key. Even if it's just .5 miles or a short lifting routine or a couple box jumps. I've got to get moving. I don't think I'm at 100% health right now, not even talking CF stuff, but sometimes, 100% doesn't come.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of taking that first step and not looking back.
