Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Well, I think I know what the problem is. I'm stuck at home with a nasty head cold and looking for all my Yahoo groups to keep me entertained. And so, they're all quiet. I downloaded the lastest version of the Palm BFL software I tried out last year, and starting tomorrow (health permitting) I'm going on about a 7 week modified challenge. I'm training to run a marathon in June, so cardio will definitly be different, and I'll probably eat more carbs than Bill recommends, especially right before and after our long training runs. Then after the marathon I can start a real challenge. May even get me a Success Journal; I was looking at them in Sam's last Saturday. The exciting news is that I ran my first race on Sunday (luckily the cold hadn't started). It was a half-marathon, and I did it in 2:55 (I run and walk). No real runner will ever have to worry about losing to me <G>, but I FINISHED!!! I'll have to start posting my menus, too. I could use some accountability (and probably some *pokes*). Hope everyone is having a good, if quiet, day. Betsy in San Re: Is anybody out there? I was wondering what was up today!?!?!?

It definitely has worked for me. I've had to just do a partial workout in some situations and I felt alot better than I would of had I not done a thing. LITTLE IS better than nothing.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Warning. If you're highly motivated you may not want to read this. I'm around. I am waiting for my new gym to open June 15. http://www.clubhfitness.com I'm just not motivated to plan, to eat well or exercise at this time. Bill P. would be pissed, but self- flagellation does not seem to be helping the matter. I try to the extent possible to eat right...but in the end the nutrition falls apart, the pants are growing tighter, the face is getting puffier and I can't help myself. This is what happens when you fall off the BFL wagon, peeps. Don't let this happen to you. On the bright side, I am slowly gathering dumbbells, etc. for the apartment, should the fitness urge strike, and trying to make room for actual workout space at home. I keep healthy food in the house, so my aberrations happen outside the home. I miss exercise, I sleep better when I exercise & eat right, I know I need it. And with the spring weather and everyone wearing form fitting clothes, I feel a tinge of jealousy, missing the hard won hard bod I developed. I have the knowledge; but the will's not here right now. Sorry to disappoint, gang, just telling my truth. I often ask myself how much longer do I want to go on like this, how much more of the gains do I want to give up, etc. I'm just glad the group's here so I will IMPLEMENT my BFL knowledge with a vengeance at some point. But my heart's gotta be into it. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Jeff, What you're going thru is perfectly normal. At some point everyone of us has to make the decision to just get on with life. I'm sure that the life you want is the one you've been preparing your body and mind for thru BFL. You can do this! You've already proven that. Start with a small goal. Tell your self that all you're going to do taday is alittle dumbbell workout at home. Nothing much, just 15 or 20 minutes of upper body work. Once you've completed that, build on that success. Break the obstacle into smaller chunks. Rather than viewing the big pieces (I need to plan, I need to eat better, I need to workout) as one big huge unabtainable objective, chop it up into little pieces and celebrate the small successes and ignore the few times you don't accomplish a little goal. i mean after all in the big picture, what did it matter? What matters is just reaching a goal. Today that goal is to do a little bitty workout. No strain. No pressure. Oh, BTW -- you haven't disappointed any of us. You are inspiring us to continue.
