Where would my physical fitness be if I had stuck with the Spartacus workout? What if I had stuck with my regular workouts rather than focusing my energy on the LSAT last February? Would I need this resolution to get my waist to half my height? What would happen if I consistently worked out for 6 months? I'm going to try to find out. Getting a good view of my gut while I was trying on my new shirt last week reminded me that I have not made much progress on this resolution. I have lost a few pounds since the New Year, but I'm still a couple of inches from my goal. There is still time to make a difference.
I'm going to be realistic in my workout goals. I want to workout four to five times a week. I am not a big fan of working out on the weekends (Friday and Saturday) and I would like a day or two each week to skip a workout if I'm really into whatever book I'm reading or to do a little preparation for the GMAT (with law school out of the picture, I need to do something else to get a credential that will give me non-research career options).
A bigger challenge than working out is controlling what I eat. If I have a decent DVD to watch, getting out on the treadmill for 30 minutes or so isn't a big deal (I watched the first part of The Transporter tonight). Controlling my diet over the weekends is a much bigger challenge. Big breakfasts, too much snacking, and a few beers add up over the weekend. If I can get those habits under control, I should start making some progress. We're pretty active on the weekends during the summer, but that activity will go much farther if I'm not stuffing my face all day.
