It seems like the start of anything involves a learning curve and a “getting over the rough spots” rocky road.
My first month on the Tom’s “Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle” program has been one of procrastination and I have not made much progress. The good news is that I have lost two inches from my waist, and went down a little in body fat just on the recommended food, and not too much exercise.
I put off the exercise for a number of reasons, which all boil down to excuses, but here they are for what they are worth. First, the pain in my left foot and heel caused from a case of Plantar Fasciiitis kept me from my walking and jogging routine. (Click on the link to find a treatment for this injury.)
In an effort to replace that idea I ordered an exercise tape that has combined exercises which include low impact aerobics, strength training and stretching and worked out with it only once and was sore for a week, which was discouraging. Then, I got so busy with my Internet Marketing Education, I spent most of the time at the computer.
With the arrival of spring, a new determination has got me started again, and the good weather is really a big help. I purchased ankle supports for my feet and have started doing stretching for my Plantar Fasciitis problem. I am determined to walk and climb stairs for my morning aerobics. I have been doing that every morning this week., in addition to doing my five rites and some mild power yoga at night before I go to bed. This is going to be a daily routine.
When I get that routine down good and start feeling stronger, I plan to add some strength training and some weight lifting at least three times per week as soon as I educate myself about that a little. Last night I attempted to do some push-ups and they were extremely difficult and I felt like I weighed a ton.
The upside is that with every day I stay with my exercise routine, it gets easier than the day before and I feel more energized. I feel like I am beginning to get a handle on both my exercise program and my Internet Marketing education.
