CM's Online Training Journal (part II)

Journal Introduction

I'm back to continue what I started. I have to be honest, I got distracted and off track for some time, but I'm back now.

My original journal can be found here:
http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/CMs_Online_Training_Journal/m_255657/tm.htm

I am currently at 217 lbs. That's 17 lbs heavier than the day I quit updating my journal. While that's unfortunate, it is still lighter than I started and I feel confident I will soon pass the mark where I left off (200 lbs) and continue closer to my ultimate goals.

The one thing my setback has taught me is the importance of goals. During my time I was writing my original journal I would spend time every morning reading my hand-written goals. I would close my eyes and imagine how I would look and feel when I reached my short-term and long-term goals. When life and work started getting busier, I started doing this less often and eventually stopped. This caused a loss in motivation and ultimately led to me falling off the wagon.

I tried to keep one leg on the wagon and be healthier than I was in the past even though I quit working out. This doesn't work well for me. A goal and mindset of don't gain weight - at least not too much - doesn't hit home. There is no passion in that, and temptations of taking the eaiser road become too much.

So, I'm here to commit myself to get passionate about where I want to be again. I look forward to moving past where I left off before and continue towards my ultimate goals.
