it took a whole five weeks since my plateauing for me to come up with a new post and a new plan of action, so sorry for the hyperlong radio silence.
anyway, i realized that if i spent more than thirty minutes running i would get bored of that session really quickly. that would make it subsequently harder to motivate myself for the next day’s session. so to combat that i’ve decided to add some more exercises dispersed throughout the day. these include:
- running, yes, but at a shorter, fixed distance, with the intent of trying to increasing my speed with each new week.
- jump rope immediately after my run, for about 20 minutes, with the aim of increasing my rep speed
- (hopefully) a walk for about an hour each evening … if i have the time.
- lifting weights at night.
hopefully my plan will work, and i’ll stay motivated to see this thing through. i started today with the run and the rope and it felt really good to be adding another exercise to my run.
my birthday’s three months away (december). i think the best gift i could give myself is the satisfaction of accomplishing something major in my life this year. hopefully and prayerfully i will get back to a healthy lifestyle and lose weight in the process. that would be a great birthday gift.
that and a leather jacket.
