It is summertime and never before have I seen time pass more quickly. I am used to the summer flying by, but this is simply ridiculous. I literally feel like it is June 2nd right now, but it is the very end of July. If you are anything like me, you feel like the summer implies sweating, exercise, and loss of weight. Yet, as much as I hate to admit this, the truth for me is that the summer usually means big meals, relaxing evenings (sometimes too relaxing), and missed workouts.
I have found myself putting on some extra weight by eating more and exercising less. I am not fat, but I find that certain parts of my body have more weight than I usually care to admit.
One thing I do is swim before work in the morning to combat the effects of my large summer meals. I have an in-ground pool at home, which makes it easy and convenient to jump in when I feel like it. I do not always make it in before work, but when I do it feels quite refreshing and is well worth it.
After swimming in the morning I often feel like I am allowed to skip my afternoon jog, but I am really lying to myself when I do this because I eat pretty big lunches. The end result is that I do not keep off as much weight as I could. I certainly do my best, but I usually end my days thinking that I could have taken it to a whole new level as far as my workout regimen had I pushed myself just a little bit more.
I am on the fence about is joining the gym in my town. At face value, it seems like an easy and obvious decision - and the new gym in my hometown is certainly fantastic with movie screens and fancy new treadmills - but I just do not see myself making use of my membership. Even though it is a great deal, I just feel like I am too overwhelmed with the plethora of responsibilities I face daily. I have an hour commute one-way to work, a family, travel plans, various obligations, a long workday, marketing for my new book, and a million other things to do.
What I can do to improve is to work out in the mornings more consistently. By eating simply twenty-five percent less food during the day and then forcing myself to go for a second-wind jog in the afternoon, I will start to see the pounds come off. Doing this, couple with Vanquish Fat Reduction, will certainly be all that I need to finally correct my bad habits.
