Fit2Fat2Fit Blog: Day 2

After this morning’s first workout, I made a long and comprehensive list of what I need to improve. Here you go:

1. Everything

My arms are sore. My core is sore. My legs are sore. My butt is sore — because it got kicked all around the field. Because of my “pokey” mile run and because there are some awesome athletes out on the field, I am in Line 4 (I could have been in Line 3 but that’s just how it landed.)  I like the folks in my line but I didn’t really talk to them.

I was too busy gasping for air.

This really isn’t an excuse but more of a fact — I’m still recovering from bronchitis and it is freakin’ frustrating that I am struggling so much. The thing I truly hate about exercise is how fast you loose your fitness.  The good news — and I’m really grasping for some at the moment — is that it comes back quickly.  I’m in much better shape than I was in January. And a million times better than when I weighed 248 and started the program.

But I have a lot of work to do. I have a lot of improvement ahead of me.  I know it. That’s why I’m out there on the field.

Paul mentioned something I’ve heard Mike Ditka talk about — A.C.E.

A is for Attitude. C is for Commitment. And E is for Effort.

I’ll hurt like a #$%$ tomorrow. I’m tired. But I will step it up.  And I’ll apply an A.C.E. bandage to all areas of my life.

It’s the only way to get to the next level.
