Week 3: Redux

March 10, 2009

OK, so I have needed to make some adjustments to my schedule to be more time efficient. The goal: Good workouts where I bring it, be clear and focused at work, spend time with William while he is awake, and spend time with the lovely Sara. That is a pretty tall order with only 24 hrs in a day! I was doing my workouts in the morning before I left for work, but that wasn’t working too well. I was preoccupied with the coming day and was not as focused as I needed to be during my workouts. So I wasn’t giving my all, and what is the point of waking up early and doing something suboptimal? It was to the point where I was ready to give up on the program, which would be stupid since I can feel the changes to my body after 2.5 weeks. What will it be like after 13 weeks? This weekend, I went to my parents and had a great visit. It helped clear my head of some of the garbage and I was able to re-focus on what I want from life. So, I have decided to start week 3 over with the following changes. I am working out in the evenings after William goes to bed. That means I will stay up later, which works out with Sara being a night owl. Then I will wake up in the morning with enough time to get ready and have a relaxing breakfast and a little bit of time with William. Tuesday was the first day back, and it went smashingly. Wednesday morning was nice. I think this will work.
