Well, I didn't do very well. That's putting it gently. I bonked hard. My legs seized up around mile 53 and even though I was on a downhill, I couldn't go any more. My wife, that wonderful woman, was proud that I made it so far and was very encouraging. I on the other hand wasn't very happy with my performance and kind of went into a quicksand effect. I just kept "sinking" lower and lower. I haven't worked out in almost a full month.
Yesterday, I had a really crappy day and I had planned a nice 2 hour bike ride to help get the day out of my head. But, by the time I got home, I wanted nothing except to watch TV. To my shame, that's exactly what I did. Today, however, is different. I feel different. I WILL work out tonight. I feel motivated and determined to better myself.
I will also start my "diet" plan. I have really wanted to eat healthier lately. After an unhealthy snack or meal, I'm starting to feel guilty. I need to find some healthy snacks that will satisfy my sweet tooth. side note... I read the nutrition facts on the back of the mayonnaise jar and just about swore. I knew it wasn't good for you, but 100 calories in a tablespoon? Ouch. That puts a whole new view on potato salad.
Anyway, things are looking up. I'll start posting more frequently. Even when I'm not happy with myself and especially when I am. I'll create a log for my workout so my loyal followers can track my progress with my work outs.
