oof!

My goal is to develop the discipline and fitness level necessary to take the Advanced Conditioning class at the local YMCA. The best way to describe AC is to give you some homework. Go to www.gymjones.com, www.crossfit.com, and www.hyperfit.com and look at what they do. AC is about 90 minutes of this kind of training. It's insane, but then I am worth it!  First day since I made this goal. I fell flat on my face. Or rather didn't fall anywhere, because you have to actually get out of bed to fall. Ah well. the perspective to keep in mind here is that this is a self-actualization goal. Once upon a time it was a goal to get out of bed in order to keep a job. At that time I was suffering some severe depression. This is more of a goal to augment the progress I've made. The foundation has been laid, now I am building something beautiful.  So I tried to get up at 6 am without hitting the snooze. I got up at 7 after hitting the bugger 6 TIMES! Tomorrow will be better. The progression is this: week 1 - just get up at 4:30 am and fart around until it's time to go to work.week 2 - get up at 4:30 am and be at the Y at 5 am to shower and change, then go home and fart around.week 3 - get up at 4:30 am, be at the Y at 5 am and have a light work out.week 4 - 8 - attend AC once a weekweek 9 - 11 - attend AC 2 times a weekweek 12 - attend AC an average of 10 times a month
