A Slow Start

Although I was on the mats for Jiu-Jitsu on the 3rd, yesterday (7th) was my first day back at the gym. The year has definitely gotten off to a slow start for me, and I'm still not feeling 100%. Being out of sync with a regular routine is always a struggle for me. I know all I need to do is just get back into it -- no excuses, no delay, just go for it ... but some days it's easier said than done.

In any case, yesterday ended up being a pure cardio day, kinda warming up my muscles, getting used to moving again, and testing out my lungs post-bronchitis. I felt a bit breathless but nonetheless, at least I took my first step (first 5 km of steps) into working on my fitness aside from Jiu-Jitsu.

My food has definitely been coming back on track. Whole Life Challenge meals have re-entered the rotation and I'm getting ready for the new challenge, which begins on January 17th.

I think the WLC is the perfect way to begin the year and help keep me focused on my goals for the year. Aside from the challenge aspect of it, I think it's a great time to experiment with different ways of eating. You won't know how much you're capable of unless you try.
