First and foremost, what a response! The number of comments from friends and family who've been reading this has been great, and it has helped to keep me motivated and accountable.
Please, keep reading, and feel free to forward on if you think it has value.
As I said, I was going to be without Internet for a couple days, and while the camping trip didn't quite go as planned (sick child), it was a valuable lesson in the advantages of planning.
I came home and worked out first thing on Friday. I could have left it to later, but later has a habit of never arriving, so while it meant delaying our departure a bit, I got my workout, my priority, done. More on this workout tomorrow. But it also meant arriving a bit later at the camp, fortunately we had planned for that with an easy dinner cooked over the open fire.
Saturday was a scheduled off day, but that didn't mean doing nothing. Tearing down the campsite to bring the ill one home meant not cooking the healthy breakfast we had planned, but we had planned lots of fast healthy stuff too, so not an issue. Came home, and with no scheduled workout just went for nice 3k or so walk to make sure I still did something.
Today, back to workouts, a rowing one this time, and with it my first Non-Scale Victory (NSV) As the workout end approached, I didn't want to stop. I had more energy still! I stopped anyway, as too often i have over trained and injured myself, but what a great feeling to end the first week on.
Looking back at the week, that's the main thing I am taking from it. I haven't gone out and started a wicked, unattainable workout plan. I haven't gone on severe calorie restriction diet. I've simply started to take some action, with food, with exercise.
And I feel amazing
100 days of action, 6 of them done and I feel great already. No matter what the scale says tomorrow I know I'm doing the right thing
Join me.
- remember tomorrow, and every Monday, I will profile a personal role model around fitness, health, or generally living life with action. Stay tuned for the first one tomorrow.
