The Journey towards a goal

As we all know, this is not an easy road to travel. The journey towards a health/fitness goal can be a bumpy one. It's how we handle the bumps along the way that matter.

I have been pleased with my routine since January of this year. I have figured out times that work, and have created a habit by doing my routine at those times. Same time, each day. I know, that sounds impossible, and believe me sometimes it's tough. All I did was pick a time when I knew that the chance of not getting my workout in was minimal.
Each week I'm up at 4:30am Mon-Wed-Fri for work. So on my mornings off (Tues-Thurs) why not get up early since my body is used to it, and do my workouts in the peacefulness of the morning. IT WORKS! Even though my ideal time to workout is afternoon-evening, I have created the habit of working out early. Form a habit, and everything else falls into place. :o)

The beginning of this week marked the start of my soccer conditioning program. For the last 3 years I've been wanting to do a serious conditioning program for my favorite sport prior to the season. But with owning my own business and other things going on, it never worked out. But now it has left me determined, excited and into it!!!! It's only been 3 days now, but it's been going great (both nutrition and conditioning), and my confidence in my plan is high.

Sometimes journey's take a while to get started, but it'll only make you stronger for when they do! Have fun!
