I made it to the gym January 1st, it was pretty quiet with the exception of a few die hards. Had a great workout, although my knees let me know it was time for a break. Good timing since I hate going to the gym for the first three weeks of the year. All the resolutioners just take up space and get in my way. You know damn well that by the end of the month half of them will have given up, by the end of February you are lucky to find a handful that actually stuck with it. Sometimes I just want to yell at them to get out of my gym now and not even bother. But instead I just keep my iPod on and impatiently wait for them to finish so that I can get my workout done.
My knees have really been bothering me ever since my last workout, so I finally got my butt in gear and made an appointment for a massage. I used my foam roller a bit over the weekend and it hurt like a mo' fo, so I didn't do it for long. A few months back, I ordered the DVD Yoga Conditioning for Athletes. I am by no means an athlete, but I am hoping it will help me with the issues I have with my knees. Otherwise, I fear that all this training will cause me to be a complete cripple by the time I am 50! However, I suppose a good start would be to take the plastic wrap off the DVD.
Here is a list of things I am planning on working on this year:
- Start running again
- Read more - I never seem to find the time to read, even though I love it
- Paint/draw more - again, never seem to find the time
- I guess I should add that I need to organize my time better too!
- Try at least one new "clean" recipe a month
- Eat more protein
- Drink more water
- Pick up the guitar again
Geesh, just thinking of what to put in this list gets me a little overwhelmed....
This is a really good read for me. Must admit that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw. Thanks for posting this useful article.
