New year goals 2024

Did it! Definitely the most out of my comfort zone I've been. Here's to personal growth and proving people wrong

 

I can understand how you might feel that way. Some of us just need an excuse or push to consider making a change or doing something we know we should be doing anyway. Change is tough for some of us.

 

So, I have a favor to ask... I swim a great deal at our local rec center, so I see all the new folks coming in the first week in January. By the end of January, most of them disappear again with their New Year's resolution long forgotten. I do not want that to happen with my resolution. If I may ask, please hit me up with a reminder if I haven't reported in with a score. I think I may get an opportunity to come out to my friend and co-worker this week or next. She is coming back from medical leave and we are planning on having lunch out together. I feel confident about this! Thanks in advance!

 

they're still cringe. it just arbitrarily set at new years day.

 

Mexico City! It was a dream come true <3

 

Thanks! Almost a half year now. Whatever I say next will just sound like excuses, so I will just say I am working on it. Glad you are here to keep me honest with myself!

 

My resolution at the beginning of the year was to train to compete in a bodybuilding competition by next year. I just started a week ago and I have a long way to go but hopefully, in a year I can compete.

 

That's awesome! The hardest part is getting started and establishing that routine. You did it! Now it's just churn and burn. Let us know how you are doing. You can do it !!!

 

Definitely will keep y”all posted and can't agree about getting started. I quit last summer after working out for 2 years straight and restarting was harder because I know what it took. When I felt that first burn

 

Keep at it JT! You're getting closer.

It's been a while since I don't post here... Well, it's been a strange time, but I've been able to manage it. A topic for another time, another thread...

As for my new year's goals, now that we've been through half a year... I'm making it!

I kept going to the gym, and last month I began a new routine. From two days, to three days a week. Focusing in all my body, but specially arms, back and shoulders. I'm not obsessed with physical appear, but I have to admit that I like what I see because of the progress I made and because that makes me go on and make it better!

I went running on two local runs and I'm happy with the results! Half on the ranking in both runs and 5 min / km. Not bad for a beginner!

I keep on therapy. I've fixed things with my friends. I can keep more self control on my dedication to job. And I began taking singing lessons! Last week I had my first concert, I sang "My Way"... and, oh my God, it felt great!

It's been a good year. Not an easy one, but really promising and, for now, satisfying...

 

Thanks for the advice! Yes, I follow a program that my instructor designed, trying to focus on different groups. First day is back, biceps and abs. Second day, shoulders and legs. Third day, chest, triceps, abs and low back.

And I'm running 5km per 5 min, yes! I'm not focusing on running, but I like to participate in any run I find, just for the feeling that I can do it!

 

I'm using free weitghts for biceps and some shoulder training, but almost all the routines are with machines!

Now that you mention that... I don't know what time can I run that distance! I have to check it out. While I'm doing cardio I guess I'm on 1.5 km / 9 min., but then I'm not running as fast as I can.
