Week 3 - Days 15 through 21

This week was very surprising..... what was the surprise you ask?

The fact that I am still on this new workout program and have kept it up for 3 weeks straight! I can honestly say that I have never stayed on a workout plan for 3 weeks (3 days would probably be my average.. and heck I usually don't do things I like for 3 weeks straight).

I will admit that have been fairly athletic growing up.. love to play sports, but I have never enjoyed just working out. It is way too boring and my ADD kicks in and I am off to do something else (anything else really).

As I have said before, that is one of the major benefits to this program... it is easy to stay on it, and it makes you feel like a success. I also think that I am almost ready to begin increasing my workouts - adding in more cardio, heavier weights, etc.... which is not on the 8 Minutes plan.

I think the fact that I am doing the 8 Minutes is letting me slowly get "back in shape" and now I am ready to take on more. If I had started out with a more "traditional" workout plan, I am certain that it would have been too painful and I would have quit... I will end up increasing my workout to the more traditional route.. just more gradually.

You know, the whole object at rest, object in motion thing.

One more week left and I will be an "8 Minutes in the Morning" graduate.
