Becoming INTENSE Again!!!
I have been working out for a year now. Working out is a big commitment, a big part of my daily life. I did waiver a little over the last few months. Not that I didn't work out, but more like I didn't work out as intensely. I used to work out INTENSE, by INTENSE I mean at least 2 hours a day. I would wake up and go to the gym, I would go do PT in the middle of the day, I would go to the gym after work. I loved to work out, I loved going to the gym, I was INTENSE. I stayed INTENSE for months, going to the gym twice a day, working out constantly. I did boot camp 3x a week, I started to do 5k runs, (I did 5 ). Then one day it stopped! Why, I am not sure. Maybe I was burned out, maybe I was lazy, or maybe I was just tired of doing the same old same. Don't get me wrong, I still worked out, but it slowed down, way down. Along with the slowdown of working out, was the slowdown of weight loss. I had worked hard to lose 75 pounds in 6-7 months, then in 4 months I only lost an additional 10. How disappointing is that, when I think about it I ask myself “What went wrong?” Why did I lose my INTENSE?? I don't want to say burnout, cause I still worked out, I still did boot camp 3x a week. What did happen was I stopped going to the gym, I stopped running, I stopped loving the work out! I knew I had to get it back, the love, the INTENSE, and the joy. I had to get it back, I need to get it back, my goal is to get the love, INTENSE work outs, and joy of daily work outs back. To do this I have started going back to the gym, I am making it a point to go at least 5x a week, this is on top of boot camps. I also committed to running not only on the treadmill, but outside at least one time a week (this week I ran 2.86 miles to boot camp, then did boot camp immediately following it). My new motto is INTENSE, to be successful I need to be INTENSE, to lose weight I need to be INTENSE, to be the best that I know I can be I need to be INTENSE!! Next time you see me be sure to ask me what am I doing to be INTENSE, to stay INTENSE, ask me if am I sticking to my new motto, and finally ask me am I doing what I need to do to be successful in my final journey of weight loss, am I being INTENSE?!?!
