Routine has become Routine

I am sitting in the computer cafe of the Nav Canada Training Institute in Cornwall, Ontario.
Wow...just saying that sounds like its boring..(actually, it kind of is!?)
Its like I put everything in neutral.
The days are full of lectures, discussions and too many coffee breaks. We finish at 15:30 hours( we have to talk military talk here). There is lots of spare time.
This is actually a treat and a blessing. Along with all the food you can eat it has an awesome workout center.
Training is not a problem...unfortunately eating all you can eat is too accessible as well.

I have had time to think about my routine and realized its been so routine that it hasn't been a problem.
Alas!! this is the problem.
I have plateaued... I need challenge.
I am hoping in the next two weeks to reevaluate my goals, my fitness level and set some new parameters.
I already know I am having a slump in the cardio and conditioning area. I think intensity training will be on the menu.

Its interesting, I used to think once I had a routine set up and established it would be just a matter of doing it , granted a few changes here and there but none the less established, like brushing your teeth. Now I find it ,my training routine, that is, has become boring.
These couple of weeks should give me the opportunity to asses, plan and then act.

I'll either come back home really pumped...or really fat!
