Day 1 in review....Commitment

Once I figure out how to post links to my logs ......like my weekly progress summary, day to day account (of my diet) and workout routine, body fat loss progress...... and even a review of things I use to help, enhance or improve my workouts, I'll do it.

What I don' plan on doing is boring you with a daily run down of what I did in the gym.... 3 sets of reverse grip DB bench press @ 1000lbs.......blah.... or a bland run down of what I ate.... Breakfast: 2 snickers without peanuts, one orange and 1/2 egg yolk.... blah, blah, blah.... you get the idea.....

What I do plan on posting is:
"A daily blog of what I do to stay committed to my workout & nutrition plan!"

DAY 1: 15 Jan 07
I did not feel like getting up when the alarm finally went off at 5am! Main reason; less than 4 hours of sleep! I couldn't sleep last night; kept thinking about my workout/nutrition plan and the kind of commitment it will take to get through it. I know I need to eat 6 meals a day, and drink plenty of water and, and..... so much was racing thru my head! So, when the alarm went off, I wanted to reset it (to allow) another 30 minutes of sleep (like I have done so many times in the past), but instead; I thought, how will I get through the first day if I don't have the right nutrition?! 6 meals and proper nutrition is a lot easier if you have the meals planned and ready to eat. The planning part was done and over, now begins the DOING part! I just had to get out of bed, go down stairs and make my meals for the day.......I asked my self what would the 8% version of myself do? After 3 minutes of lying there and thinking it over, I decided that I could not possibly quit before I started, and reminded myself that I was Committed to reaching my goal of 8%.

So, I got up, went down stairs, made my 4 egg white omelet, sectioned off a portion of the meat loaf I made the night before, made my super shakes (more on that at a later date), and loaded up my small cooler with the food (fuel) I needed to get through the day. Surprisingly enough, I got through the day as well as my first workout not feeling that tired at all. Having all my meals pre-made made such a difference (Proper Nutrition)!

All it took was a little commitment!
