Just a quick post before bedtime. I feel like I'm radiating positive vibes today. I don't think it has anything to do with this little exercise regimen, but instead I think the fact that I just made the incredibly easy self-directed decision to do this little program is indicative of my internal desire to make a number of positive movements in my life.
I had a job interview today. It went great, to say the least. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I honestly don't know how the interview could have gone any better. I think the only reason I might not get the job is if there happened to be a prior arrangement and the interviewing process was just a formality to hiring someone else that was already preselected. You never can tell about what goes on behind the scenes. So instead, I'll just be content to know that I did my best and I truly believe that everything went superbly well today. The interviewers were friendly and I think we really hit it off. As interviews go, I really can't ask for more than that.
With regard to the Body-for-Life program, I have to admit that the hardest part of the program so far is making myself eat according to a planned timeframe. What's just as surprising is that I notice that I don't even eat the requisite amount of food or the planned number of meals. I guess I'm just not that hungry. This is really an eye-opener for me. I never thought for a moment that I don't eat enough, but it sort of looks like that's the case.
The exercise regimen was pretty easy. I just did cardio today, and for that I chose the stationary bike. It was pretty fun, except for the numbing of my groin I noticed once I finished the routine. I think I'll choose the seated stationary bike next time instead of the standing bike.
I want to point out that I going to continue moving forward with my running regimen. Just because I'm doing the Body-for-Life program as an addendum does NOT mean that I'm going to slack on running. Running is a personal passion of mine. I love doing it. New routine or not, I'm not compromising my running for the sake of haphazardly starting a new exercise regimen. Plus I don't think the Body-for-Life program even comes close to interfering with my running. Afterall, I did the BFL cardio plan today and it's just 20 little minutes. I do twice that on my easy days. If anything, I think the BFL cardio could probably be used as a good warm up or maybe even as a crosstraining session on my off days.
All in all, a really good day today. Oh, I also put in about 4 miles of roadwork tonight. I love night running. No sun in your face to blind you and the streets are practically yours. That's the way I look at it. Just the moon and stars above and my legs pumping just beneath me. So nice.
Well, that's it for now, typos and all. Peace out.
