Eating Intuitively

This is day two of my new training plan for “Climb Miami”, and there has already been an adjustment.  I intended to get up this morning at 4:30am, get dressed, and go to the gym by 5am.  Unfortunately, I could not do it.

I think the shock of returning to work after a week off made me too tired to get out of bed this morning.  It is much easier to transition into a week-long vacation than it is to return back to work after a week off.  Very abrupt!

So, my new training plan has me going to the gym tomorrow morning and Friday morning.  I’ll also go on Saturday and Sunday mornings.  Next week’s plan has yet to be determined.

I guess I am spoiled by having gym equipment in my home.  I am so turned off by having to get ready for the gym.  I don’t like driving there.  I wish I didn’t have to see strangers that early in the morning.  I much rather just go to another room to exercise.

At one point in time, I felt it was absolutely necessary to have a recumbent bike at home.  I couldn’t imagine any other scenario where I could actually exercise.  Going to the gym was out.  Walking didn’t seem feasible.  The recumbent bike made the most sense, but I digress.

I am focused on “Climb Miami” now.  I will train for the event, and I will do my best.  I don’t expect to break any records, but I will feel a great sense of accomplishment for both the physical activity and the money I raise for American Lung Association.
