43 Days until Mid Tour

Today was cold and windy.  I feel I'm in for a rude awakening this winter.  I see a lot of treadmill running in my future if I don't freeze to death on the walk over to the gym from my dorm.  I know it's only the beginning of December BUT I'm ready for this month to be over with already!  December is a very family oriented month and it sucks being away.  But it is what it is and I will make it through. 

I got in a pretty good run today.  I need to stick with running and knock back the weight lifting.  For some reason everytime I decide to focus more on lifting I gain weight back super fast.  And it's not muscle, it's fat.  With my body type I know I need heavy doses of cardio to keep my weight down.  I won't quit lifting but I'm going back to my heavy cardio schedule with my "runner" lifting program three days a week.  So I'm back to running 6 days a week with 3 days lifting.

JUST RUN!!!

Why do I work out?
What keeps me motivated to work out?
Do I like being fat?
Why do I eat like I do?
Why am I lazy?
Why do I keep sabotaging myself with FOOD after I work so hard to get to a decent weight?

Just some of the questions running through my head this morning as I stepped on the scale.  All I can do is shake my head and have these questions constantly searing themselves into my brain.  Very disappointed today.

LOOK FORWARD, NOT BACK!!!

Took the afternoon off from the gym because I'm kinda worn out.  I did get in my lunch time run but for today that's going to have to be good enough.  We will see how things go tomorrow again.  I'm not too worried about it since at least I got in one short run.  I guess I will appreciate I did something today.

Well after the cold burned off this morning it was actually a very pleasant day outside.  Which is good because we spent a lot of today walking around outside.  December is looking like it will pass by in a blur which will be awesome.  We have a ton of things scheduled to fill our days next month.  I hope it turns out to go by as fast as it looks like it will.  I got in two pretty good workouts today.  I didn't get to finish my cardio/weight session at lunch so after I ran tonight I had to finish my workout.  For some reason I always try my hardest to talk myself out of working out at night.  I guess it's just the inner fatty trying to rebel.  I just need to get my butt out that door and be consistent about it.  So far, so good.

Well I broke into the 40's until I get to go home and spend some quality time with my family.  First things first, I need November to hurry up and get over.  I'm doing my best to stay busy so time will go by as quick as possible.  I am a little frustrated with my eating habits but I have no one to blame but myself.  I eat way too many processed foods.  The down side is I can't keep fresh fruits and veggies in my dorm for longer than 3 days and I don't have access to the commissary (no vehicle) but every other week.  Oh well, I just need to be consistent with my fitness and when I get back home I can tighten up my diet.  There's always a mountain to climb isn't there...

Well it's the start of another week and it's back to the gym to help me get through it.  Early this morning we got our first snow.  I don't know if I'm ready for that yet.  The temperature has really dropped fast over the past month.  I guess I'll have to adapt or freeze!  I guess no more running outside until next spring which is a bummer.  Especially when we only have 3 treadmills in the gym.  Come on June 2013!

Today is a non weight day.  Since I screwed up my schedule this last week, I decided to make today just a cardio today and do better with sticking to my schedule next week.  We will see how that goes.  It was a rough run today so I dialed it back and did what I could do for my hour.  It was definitely better than sitting in my room, on my couch doing nothing.  I'm looking for ways to stay motivated and positive during this holiday season. 

BRING ON JANUARY ALREADY!!!
