15 Laps of the cricket oval & a last feeble attempt to do another 5 resulting in only one more…Points for determination! Back & Biceps, which was interrupted by an unexpected visitor…no harm done as I managed to get a good pump on the Biceps before finishing.
Progress so far is going good…I remember struggling to complete 2 laps of the cricket oval let alone 15 consecutive ones now. I remember how hard it was to complete 30minutes on the treadmill, now I can do 50minutes…I did not expect to start resistance training this early, however I am already beginning to overcome the initial pain it sometimes brings on.
To think it…it all stemmed from looking in the mirror & making “the” decision. Tomorrow marks the end of another week…looking forward to my Run already and will be a little more gentle on my squats this time round…SAT REST Day…although will be helping out a Mate at the Local Tip.
NEXT WEEK…outlook…the plan for next week’s bout will to be slowly increase my cardio which is now only Once a Day but aiming for 45+minutes each time. I will also be attempting to do more outdoor running with increased time as well…getting back into the sun is great but I should consider doing it earlier---I can get some midday sun working outdoors in the yard as needed. As far as weights goes, I will still just be going through the motions with thought given to the types of exercises and how many sets & reps et… Main emphases will continue to be cardio…Have decided to stick with push-up program before doing my weights (consider it as a warm up) More discipline required in keeping the Sit-up program consistent!!!
Still early days and lots of stretching required…whilst I am overcoming the pain here & there…these early stages are still presenting to be akin to breaking my body in on the farm after a long break…instead of taking one or two weeks in the past, it’s perhaps going to take several weeks. Patients/Persistence & Sheer Determination will be required to truly overcome these birthing pains.
Note*Need to get more sleep!...the inclusions of various MP3s are working well, however as I become more in control, I should consider sampling running more on my own merit & tune into myself without such aids to help improve my balance. Currently researching “Chi Running” however after posting in the Cool Running forum will stick with my natural “forefoot” strike as opposed to the Mid-Foot Strike…Mostly looking to extract principles on Mind State & Body Awareness.
Also searching for some good self hypnosis files along with more Nuro stimulus Vibes…will perhaps Mix my own sound tracts with thought given to workouts based on various Intensities/intervals & distance. Just keep those miles coming Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Workout & keep moving…
Food…not an issue as I’m eating the main food groups/eating regularly & not starving myself…Depression is maintained on a higher level mostly due to sun exposure (I shrivel up indoors) & EXERCISE beyond the comfort zone…therefore when I now eat…it’s because my body needs it!!!
Anxiety is still high, however focused in a much more positive & productive way…Things are spinning by pretty quickly…but to hell with it all…what happens happens!!!...time to massage the wife.
