This past week off from regular classes has given me so much time to reflect. One thing that I found ironic/purposeful was looking back in my previous years journals at my numbers. Disturbing trends started to appear. Nice thing about numbers written in ink, they don't lie. My weight is up while my diet/clean eating is down, this is a no brainer (duh). My push up and sit ups are down but my shoulders and hips feel almost pain free. My form reps are slower but I am starting to understand my flow better. My cardio has trailed off but I feel my endurance has improved.
The ups and downs have seemed to have settled into a groove, a groove of mediocrity. The trajectory I thought I was feeling was false. I mistook the positivity I was feeling for progression. Now that I have looked back at my numbers I realize I that I have let mediocrity creep in and direct my path. That sucks, especially 2 weeks before grading, yikes!!
Thankfully by writing down my previous years numbers I can see where my progression and regressions are. Once this year is done and tallied, I want to chart it and see the trends, like time of year, special events (holidays,birthdays,trips). If I want to kick mediocrity to the curb I need to understand how it creeps into my life, other than ego.
