Setbacks and Distraction.

Something I have come across in my own fitness training has been setbacks and distractions. As I'm sure I have mentioned at one point on Facebook or in this blog is my recent dealings with a chest cold. While this has caused a interuption in my regular exercise schedule, I have also noticed that my focus has been off as well.
This has brought me to the decision that I will need to reevalutate my current program schedule and make changes accordingly. I should be on week 5 of Insanity this week had I not been delayed by not feeling well enough to keep up for a week now. So what I was trying to do is start week 4 over this week. While yesterday was sadly a wash out because I left early for work and didnt allow for time to workout ahead of time. Then when I came home I seem to crash right out after my wife and I had dinner. By no means am I trying to make any of this sound like excuses. I have been legitimately ill. I am frustrated at this point because I simply need to get back on track.

My intention is to continue with Insanity as soon as possible. I did start Pure Cardio this morning, but without getting "boo hoo' about it, I dont think I'm ready yet because I had to stop. So that's when i reached for the weights and started a Total Body workout. This is where the DISTRACTION came in. I found myself not being able to keep my focus which just frustrated me more. So this is why I see I will have to make another plan on attack to get back into it.
One of my biggest concerns as it would for anyone on a regular schedule is losing progress. At this point I wouldn't say I have lost alot of progress yet. But I have definately stunted it for sure. So I'm going to get ready for work and when I get home tonight I'm going to make a point to at least get some form of exercise in, even if it's doing simple squats.

Then once the holiday is over I'm going to get myself back on a program schedule again. If its Insanity then I may simply start fresh again with it. Or I may even do another round of P90X. Either way I'm going to get back in the swing of things sooner than later for sure. With this lapse of workout schedule, I have tried my best to keep my diet intact as much as I possibly can, because that is also a major component of keeping on track. Even when a workout is missed here and there. Thanks for taking the time if you read this.
