Starting Over

 As I have said before, nothing seems more"doable" than deciding on an athletic comeback after having a  few beers. Then, the next day comes and reality sets in.
 What follows are some random thoughts on the subject.

The hardest thing about starting over is that you feel you are so far behind that you are overwhelmed by the thought of even beginning.

Being so far out of the condition you were once in, limits, at least for awhile, how much and at what intensity you can function (train).

You need to be vigilant as to what and how much you eat and drink. You need to find a variety of things that work towards your goal without endangering your health by injury or overuse.

 Remember this while Initiating and continuing your comeback:
Sustaining motivation may be difficult
Boredom can be a factor
Patience is a necessity.

I have found that to have a successful athletic comeback you must totally immerse yourself in the effort. It should be one of the focal points of your life and day.
Read, write and study materials that inspire, inform and encourage.
