I got in my 30 minutes of shoulder/legs with my trainer at the gym, then did my own Turbulence Training workout B right afterwards for a full hour of weights this morning.

I’m about to head out for my lunch break walk, and tonight I’ll be knocking out 2 OARS (maybe all 5…) for the Life’s Odyssey challenge at eDiets and an hour of Forza or Kenpo. I am SO happy to be more or less healthy again. I hate being sick.

Food is dead on today, but yesterday ended a bit higher than planned at 1900 or so because I had some Chinese style turkey breast dumplings and nuts at my mother’s house. I did avoid any actual junk and was still at a deficit, though, so I am not beating myself up about it too much.

I am, however, re-reading my goals for this 6 week challenge and my wedding, and making sure that I re-commit to them again no matter what happens. Frankly, I know that all I need to do is stay consistent, consistent, consistent with food and exercise and I WILL get to my goal physique.

I’m going to act as if my meals and workouts are part of a job that I am required to do for the next three months. Just like with a real job, I will have set times when I need to accomplish certain tasks (workouts or meals), and I don’t get to put them off just because I don’t feel like it.

This was literally what it was like when I was in the military (daily 6:30 am physical training, meals like clockwork at set times), so I just need to bring back that regimented attitude.

After all, it’s not like any of this is actually THAT hard when you think about it, right?

I am eating meals I genuinely enjoy, the EFL plan (not to mention my own small library of healthy cookbooks) has plenty of great recipes if I ever get bored, my calories aren’t terribly restrictive, and I even think my workouts are stimulating and fun.

There is no logical reason not to just GET THIS DONE!
