It's a Habit: Operation Shodan Fit Week 6 Results

Remember at the very beginning of this phase of training when I said I had read that it would take about 3 weeks to break a habit and start a new one?  Well, continued study suggested that it was more like six.  Now that I've reached that threshold in my own personal training, I have to say I agree.  I honestly don't feel right if I'm not working out on any given day (except for my rest day each week).  The habit has set in!

Here are some benefits I've noticed in these first several weeks:

·  An energy boost--seriously...I can train, work, and otherwise run around all day.  I love naps, but I'm needing fewer and fewer.  I'll still have them on the weekends, though.  Let's not get crazy.

·  Better sleep!

·  More efficient movement--less wasted energy.

·  Fewer clumsy accidents.

·  That great sore feeling--not an achy feeling, but rather an affirmation of hard work well done.

·  Easier focus and problem solving--and I wasn't even having trouble with that!

·  Less tolerance for garbage food.

· And the list goes on!
