M3:D59 Forgetting
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 For the past few days I've been leading you down a path. This has not been done conciously. I mean, I am aware of the path we are going down with the past few posts, but not a single one was planned to bring us where we are going. It is just something that has happened. It is my belief that in order to draw your goals to you it will be necessary for you to forget some of what you've learned. I think that too many of us read everything and then get confused over what goes with what. This leads to disasterous results. We need to organize our thoughts and forget some of what we've learned in order to properly utilize the important knowledge we've picked up over time. Forgetting is not an easy thing to do. I believe that for some reason the human brain is optimized to hang on to things. How many times have you had an argument with someone only to have them bring up something from the past that they had "forgiven and forgotten"? Obviously they may have forgiven you (hence they didn't argue their point any longer) but they clearly had not forgotten. Forgetting just isn't that easy. However, I'm here to tell you that forgetting is something you have to do to move ahead with your fitness plan. Forget the awful habits you once had. Forget the idea that food is comforting because you can't allow that to be the case any longer. Forget that you hate working out because you need to workout. Forget all the habits that brought you to your low point in the first place. If you get organized and forget the bad things you will be moving forward towards a new found success. Good luck and don't forget to forget. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 Today I took the Nike+ for a 20 minute run. My holder came and I was excited to give it a try. I managed to get in 2.13 miles and I know the Nike+ was accurate this time. The holder made all the difference in the world. I'm really enjoying all this running. It makes me energized. Today I took it nice and easy, setting a 9 minute mile pace. I focused on an even stride and pacing myself. My breathing was rhythmic and steady. The run was not overly taxing and I managed to maintain a steady pace throughout. Running every day has become my cardio of choice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 When you challenge yourself the results you get increase dramatically. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cool post, Michael. I'll never forget it.
p.s. Wed & Thurs ratios don't add up to 100%.

Lilla. Thanks, they are fixed for tonight's log. Thanks for inspiring me to run. I have not been putting up as much mileage as I would like, but I'm getting there.

I forget at times how bad a particular type of food makes me feel. Weird but if I eat a lot of sugar, I swear I won't do it again, then I forget and do it anyway. Not often, but still it happens.

Debbie, I hear you. We all have that food that we just can't stay away from.

Hey Michael,
I MUST forget to worry about certain things in my life and working out has a very good effect on my stress-level; it is a kind of a vice-versa-effect.
You are looking great, your work is spot-on to your plans, I am inspired.

Juli, thanks. You are going to hit all your "off the couch" goals as well. Thanks for being so supportive. You are very sweet.
