I've found a new stride in this whole Fitness Adventure of 2015. Not to steal from Dolvett's 3-2-1 diet (I haven't read the book, and honestly don't know what it's really about), but I've adopted sort of a 3-2-1 fitness method that is totally working for me. 3 days of C25K, 2 days of strength training, 1 day of yoga/flexibility training. The rest day is a given, plus 3-2-1-1 didn't sound near as awesome. Unless Dolvett had a 3-2-1-1- diet, then it would sound cool.
These past two days have shown me just how far I've come on this fitness journey.
This is the week in C25K where they throw in running for 3 minutes straight. (Because the man wants you to hate yourself.) I told myself that if I couldn't run for the whole 3 minutes, it was ok. I prepared myself for failure, because that's what I do. BUT I didn't need to prepare myself for failure, because I dominated those 3 minute runs.
Next, part of my strength training regimen has involved planks. I decided to get a little crazy and do a 30 second plan to go with each of the four rounds of weights I was doing. I expected to maybe get through two of them, and then give up in the middle of the third one. Guess what? I planked like a boss. (Real planks, not even the modified planks!)
But the thing that made it all real? When I put on the dress I was planning to wear to graduation. I've bought plenty of dresses that have come with a belt attached to them, but have never been able to wear the attached belt. Knowing this, I still buy the dresses and I still attempt to belt them. Then this happened:
That's right! I was able to easily put the belt on! Now, does it look fabulous? I think so, but you might not. I know I've got more work to do, but this is a huge accomplishment to me and nothing is taking it away from me.
Moral of this story? Fictional children's character's are always right. Listen to them.
