I am starting a new thing... self dicipline is my goal...
How do YOU do it?
Great day to start *sarcastic sneer* I'm going to dinner and a movie with my husband tonight, (steakhouse and King Kong).
Ate small omlette, 2 pieces whole grain bread, Frappucino ice cream bar, 2 tbsp natural peaut butter on sam whole grain bread...fish oil and other supplements... alpha lipoic acid, multivitamin, ester-c, b complex and calicum.
No excercise yet and two hours till we go.
I don't have a workout schedule figured out yet, just this journal, a couple of pictures posted, and a total confession that I have no self dicipline to speak of.
I am getting a jump on the new year's resolution thing though by starting two weeks ahead of schedule.
OK...where do I start... pushups? OK. I'll do some. Better than nothing.
Did ten. that was pretty much to fatigue. I can do some more. This is so lame..
Ok. Did 8 more...to fatigue...
How long should I rest in between?
7 more
I am really afraid the big muscle guys are going to think I am an idiot but if this honest approach works, then that will make it worthwhile.
8 more.
I can't believe my heart is pounding over a few pushups... I'm even sweating a little.
I am doing them with my hands more than shoulder width apart, but straight legs and back and neck.
6 more.
Actually, after I wrote that I realized my neck wasn't straight, and when I straightened it, they were harder becase I went down further.
Enough humiliation. I hope everyone who started out this lame is empathetic and encouraging.

Situps seem to be the next logical step

WildPeace,
Just read your intro in the New Members forum. Your goals sound similar to a couple of others here.
If I were you I would check out Brit Chicks journal http://ironmagazineforums.com/showthread.php?t=55385 for sure. I'm sure she could point you in th eright direction. there are others here ( male and female ) who could help. read the stickies in the diet/nutrition forum / the trainig forum and then ask your questions . Don't forget to give as much info as possible to help them help you .
Good luck
Gary
