Lazy workouts

It's been a while since I have written about my actual weight loss. I have hit my ups and downs in the last few months. I've fluctuated in the last 10 pound range for a year now. I wasn't sure why since I workout five to seven days a week then I realized I got lazy.

Yes I was working out, but once I hit a plateau with my workouts I never tried going further. I kept my speed, kept my resistance and length of time around average. The only thing I did was up my weights when weight lifting. But even that felt easy.

Re-evaluation my workouts proved to be a help. I have lost 6lbs since my re-evaluation. Instead of staying on the same resistance I push myself to climb mountains, go faster and longer. Each workout is different, one day I'm climbing hills, the next day its a speed race with myself.

I have even started running again. I know everyone thinks I shouldn't, but I needed to try. I only work on a ten minute block of time to do this. I base my run on my knee, if I'm feeling strong I run for as long as possible, if my knee is weak I speed walk. The slow progress has helped, at least I believe it does.

So take the chance every now and then to re-evaluate yourself, not just your workout. You will be surprised what you learn.
