Thoughts about things

So I have been sitting around feeling sorry for myself for the past couple months. I am not exactly sure why, I just am. I started reading the 7 habits of highly effective people about 3 weeks ago and it is amazing the things that you find out about yourself in a book like that. I am reading it all the way through and then will go back and work each habit individually, I think that is the best thing for me.

I have also started thinking more about the way I want my kit to look and the persona I portray. I like the 14th century, I love the full case armour and stuff, but I am seriously considering a 1320-1330’s era person instead. It’s more chainmail and a Sugarloaf Helmet. I like this idea because it is something that is not done much, most people gravitate toward the later 14th century. Time will tell.

I am doing Couch25K this week and will add in more running and weights next week, I think that is the best course of action for me at this point as Thursday will be a bad food day for me and my back is incredibly sore this morning. I think I will train more like an MMA fighter then anything else because that is as close to what we do that I can get without developing a new workout routine on my own, which may happen eventually.

Working Out Day One

I started working out again this morning. I started with Couch to 5k Day 1 Week 1 and it was excruciating.  it’s funny to think that 3 short months ago I was able to run almost 3 miles without much trouble and now I am having trouble running for 1 minute. I know I will get back there, it’s just going to take some time.

I will be doing the Body for Life workouts coupled with the Couch to 5k running for the cardio portion. I should be ready in March for the Death March, but time will tell. If I am not ready, I cannot justify going all the way to New Mexico for the march. I will make it.

My overall Goal is about 70lbs and stuff. I will not get discouraged this time!
