Start Over

For the past six months I’ve been in a slump. I still worked out four days a week, but I wasn’t diligent in my eating. For the past six weeks, my slump turned into a full blown regression. Not only did I not eat right, I didn’t work out either. I would wake up, put my workout clothes on, get my C4, sit down on the bench to look at my workout, and spend the next 45 minutes trying to figure out how to get motivated again.

I haven’t gotten on the scale, so I’m not exactly sure how much this set back has cost me. I feel quite certain that six weeks of no restraint, holiday goodies, and no physical fitness have taken their toll. I don’t really want to know how much. How far I have fallen is irrelevant to me.

What matters to me is that today I started over. I went back to the beginning. Working out in my garage wasn’t doing it for me so I changed it up a little bit and joined a gym. Today I woke up long before the sun came up, hit the gym and got a great full body workout in. I started tracking my food intake again, and taking all my vitamins and supplements like I’m supposed to.

Once I have a few weeks under my belt, I’ll get back on the scale and do my measurements. Then I’ll start tracking that too. Although I may not know exactly where I’m starting from, I know where I’m going and what I want my end result to be. So today I started over.

Sometimes all you need is a little reset, but don’t be afraid to completely start over if you need to. Forget about where you were (or are). Don’t think about how you failed or the setback you might have experienced. Look to where you want to be and where you are going and start over with a new level of vision and focus!
