Sunshine time means GET OUTSIDE!!!

The past few days have been a teaser for what's to come and an excellent motivator to get back to work on getting in the best shape of my life!

I love to sweat when I workout.   Nothing gets me more excited about punishing my body than leaning forward and a stream of sweat pouring off my nose!  It's probably just a guy thing.  Or a me thing, but it's an outstanding motivator that gives me instant feedback that my metabolism is revved up!

I'm headed back into the weight room today after a two week break and I'm pretty sure I'll be huffing and puffing away as I try to get my body reacquainted with my workout.  I'll hit it pretty hard but not so hard that I hurt myself or make myself so sore that I have to skip my next scheduled workout which is now Saturday after softball practice.

Over the past two weeks I've taken the time to examine my fitness goals and make adjustments where needed.  I am setting a new weight goal of 189 pounds by April 1, 2009!  As it stands right now, that's seven pounds as I weighed in today at 196!  I believe I can do it but it's going to take a combination of lifting, cardio, and eating better to get it done!

I am committing myself to reaching this goal and I have 20 days to get it done!  As I've mentioned previously it always helps to have a partner when trying to get back in shape so feel free to drop me a comment.  Encourage me, tell me how you've gotten back in shape or how you plan to get back in shape.  I also plan to write a fresh article the day after each workout - so there should be at least three a week!

If you're like I was and really need to turn your physical fitness around!  Go for it!  See your doctor for a physical and take it one day at a time.  I wish you well and get started now!
