Back to training

After a week, it feels great to get back into training. I went in for a 25 minute bodyweight training session. Although I wasn't too happy with the intensity, I was happy that I made a comeback after one week.

One thing I did have going for me was the undereating phase of my nutrition in the previous week. I managed to stick to that religiously. Then I ended the week with about a 8 Km walk. It was a breath of fresh air to get out into the sunshine, take a walk ALONE, clear my head and also push a mental toughness build up. I had to go on that walk because my bike was out at the service station and I had to go pick it up before a certain time. So I used the walk as a training session as well. There were times on that walk I wanted to just get a lift from someone but I challenged myself to finish it. I made it on time, got my bike and came back home. It felt good. I had won something deeper. It was not spectacular but I know I got somewhere with it.

Some of you might have a question about why the 'fitness pro' didn't train for a whole week. Well, I'm a human being, not a machine. 

Here is what went down in my previous week.

1) At times I was just plain lazy. I had the opportunity to crank out at least 30 push ups but I did not do it.

2) Life goes on: With my 4 week old daughter at home, I'm getting used to new demands and schedules.

Things do happen but embrace it and move on. I had to accept the fact that I was lazy at times.I also had to accept the fact that schedules were demanding. I could have solved the issue of one of them by just getting off my rear end but did not. What is important is that I made a comeback. To those of you struggling to get back on track with anything I can say this - start as quickly as possible. It does not matter how long it takes to get back to full flow but start and stay consistent.

All the best.
