I have been working with a trainer off and on for the past 6 months and have been spending more time at the gym than I ever have in my life. Travel over the past month has thrown me way off my game and I just don't feel like doing it. I don't feel like working out and don't feel like watching what I eat.
Even though I can't focus on it as much, I am still a lot more careful about what I eat and I still work out even more than I did before.
I'm disappointed with how slow my progress is and need to get back into the game, but I'm still proud of some of the changes I have made that seem a little more than temporary.
I'm saying all of this because I started training for the MS 3-day Challenge Walk which is coming up in September. I have 16 weeks to get ready to walk 50 miles over 3 days. I'm looking forward to doing the walk but also excited about the time between now and then. I have the opportunity to get into decent shape and have a goal that is much bigger than losing a few pounds. I am working to achieve a goal in a walk for a cause that is so important to me. The money I raise for this walk could actually contribute to a cure that ultimately saves my life.
Pretty cool, right?
So, I'm officially training. I hope that the changes I'm making over the next few weeks, in activity and diet, lead me to permanent changes.
Wish me luck! And, if you have a goal you're working towards, good luck to you.
