What's Your Workout Today VSGers? - Thursday!

I did 1 hour of Orange Theory. I have had a cold for over a week now, I think I am going to take a couple days off until its gone. There is no intensity in my workouts right now. Need to shake it.

Let's Hear It!

I was supposed to get up this morning to do my weights only day and COULD NOT DO IT. I was exhausted and slept like crap. Sometimes, sleep wins.

I have my support group tonight. I won't be home until 8:30ish but I am going to TRY to go then.  If I don't.. it will be ok and I will move on and still go tomorrow.

I have to learn that I can't be "perfect". If I do 5 days in a week instead of 6, it doesn't mean I am not committed or that I will regain my weight.

It's hard, dude.

It's not about being perfect. Its about going as much as you can. You are doing great. Just keep it up!

Sleep is important too, arguably more important than working out.

This isn't a contest and its not for a grade, this is for you by you. 

Very well put.

I struggle with being an all or nothing person. Small things have made me "fall off the wagon" so  many times pre-surgery, that I am scared to deviate.. even a little bit.

The reason you fall off the wagon is that you are an all or nothing person and small things de-rail you. Be a "get it done" person and as long as you keep going you are being who you are. In the all or nothing world on small failure is failure, a dead end. In the get it done world one small failure is simply a bump in the road and you keep moving forward. 

I used to be a "well I had one bad meal, I will start over tomorrow", that's why I never stuck to any diet for more than a couple of months because one day turns into two and so forth and there is the whole "starting over" ideal. But getting it done if I have one bad meal or one bad day, I can just pick up where I left off, its never game over, restart, its just what is next.

Totally agree.  I am working on this! 

I workout on average 3 times per week.  That's doable for me.  If I felt like I had to work out everyday, I'd quit all together. 

Today, I'm working in my classroom and ridding my bike.  It's all about moving!!!

3?!? That's it! You slacker? Of course you are at goal and all so I guess you can afford to be a slacker!

In all seriousness 3 times a week is really the ideal amount to work out. Gives you plenty of rest. I do go to the gym about 6-8 times per week but its for different things. I mix of specific weight training, HIIT, and cardio. I have one day set aside just for abs and floor work.

Congrats again on reaching GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!

I will be hiking tonight, its 5.5 miles of hills.  It takes me about 1hr and 55 min, I am working on getting it done faster!

I love the "remote" picture.  I never thought about it like that but it is SO true.

I will be doing 45 minutes of strength training and cardio with my personal trainer.
