It seems that I am at a point now where I am losing my motivation to stay on this program a little bit. This morning I did something I have not done in a long time, I hit the snooze button twice and didn't wake up to do my Tuesday workout. I don't mind the workouts or the waking up early so much, I do mind the being cold which is what I am telling myself is some of the reason why I didn't get up and run this morning. The thing that I am starting to get tired of and not wanting to do anymore is the food. I have been eating the same foods for going on 5 weeks now and I don't like having to spend an hour a week with my wife prepping all the food for the week after I have spent 30 minutes over the weekend planning the meals to begin with. I know that I just need to push through this and I will be back on track but right now I just want to stop at 6 weeks and be done with it. I guess I will just have to see how I feel after the run today and how I feel tomorrow getting ready for a workout. Until then...
***Update***
I am starting to get out of the funk that I was in last night and this morning and don't feel quite so annoyed by the food as I did this morning. I used a small part of my lunch today to do my 20 minute run on a treadmill at work and now I feel better. I think most of it had to do with disappointment in myself for not getting up and running like I have been doing for 4 weeks solid now. Putting that additional X on my calendar has brightened my mood up a bit and now I am looking forward to the rest of my day and coming home to be with my family. Tomorrow is a lower body workout with added weight on some of the exercises so we will have to see how that goes. I am not so concerned about the added weight on the leg muscles but more concerned about being able to hold it with my upper body through each exercise. I guess we will have to see.
