Day 10: The weekend warrior heading into week 2

This past weekend as many of you know, I was at the annual Foot and Ankle Surgery conference in DC. Last week, I had a workout that lasted past the midnight hours after coming back home late. Thanks to my wife and her bright idea, I took my workout routine to the conference rather than commuting back and forth from home 20 miles away.

The plan was taking my laptop, DVD, and gym equipment to workout in my fellow colleagues hotel suite. They were so gracious and kind to offer their room. Thanks. It was a double bed room so I was trying to figure out the best location to workout. I used a corner of the room to get started as I placed the pull-up bar outside the bathroom door. An hour later, I was sweating bullets. What a great workout even in a cramped room. Like my philosophy in life "Absolutely anything is possible" Well, I continued the same routine the rest of the weekend.


This is my second week into my workout routine and I am already seeing and feeling results. I felt like dying last week but my endurance and stamina has picked up. I still have a ways to go to keep up with the guys in the video, but it seems I am am making marked improvements. As long as I am progressing that is all that matters and it keeps me motivated to go forward.


The secretaries at the office are happy for me and they are starting to look closer into my program. Some are changing their eating habits and asking me for exercise advice. They want to start cooking healthy foods for themselves and their family members. My cousin also called me tonight to check on me to see how I was doing and when I was going to write my next blog. He is motivated by the blogs and has now restarted his workout routine on a consistent basis. Soon he will start P90X as I know many of you will in the near future.


Set a goal and take those baby steps toward achieving what you want in life whether it be exercising or reaching for that next career opportunity. Don't give up there is hope!
