I'm still keeping busy with work. It's hard going from a job that you know everything about into one where you know absolutely nothing, but I'm enjoying the process and learning new things. New things always help out the ol resume.
I trained HARD tonight at the gym. I'm sure I'll be paying tommorrow and Friday but it will be worth it. I feel fabulous right now.
Tonight's program was:
DB Split Squats
Close grip lat pull downs
Cable Pull throughs
Seated DB Press
Standing Calf Raises (one of my favs) I lurvs some shapely calves on women.
Pulldown Abs
DB Laterals (Ghey)
Planks (Double Ghey)
I've decided that for me personally, when it comes to diet and training, I can't have any days off because they tend to turn into weeks off. I'm like the typical alcoholic that just tries to drink one drink and then before you know it ends up sprawled out drunk in a carport clutching an empty Sprite bottle and calling out someone else's name. Well maybe not that bad, it you get the idea. Days off just don't really work for me, at least not now. So what to do, what to do???
Changing gears....
I've been wanting to volunteer in some capacity for quite a while now. Since I really don't like folk much, I've found the perfect solution...
Soon I will be volunteering at a pet foodbank. I'm on a waiting list for the one closest to my home. The one that has openings now is clear across the city, which means in Atlanta traffic, an hour one way easily. Hopefully the other one will need more volunteers soon. I'm so excited. I love love love dogs (cats are OK) and since my current lifestyle isn't really conducive to owning a pet right now, this is perfect. I get to spend time with animals and help make sure they have plenty to eat. Again, I'm so excited!!!!
Aw, hell, Lyn! Come live in Minneapolis and I have two lil' brats who'd love to have you feed them! Then I have two dogs who could use your services too.
ReplyDeleteAnd then you and I can train and be miserable together!!
I hear ya, Lyn... It's all about getting back into it! I am religious with my workouts and have to be careful with my dieting. As soon as I get too "relaxed" with my eating, the weight creeps back on. The important thing is that you are giving it your all when you're ON, know what I mean? ;) We all slip up somewhere, but get back on track and don't waste anymore time beating yourself up for slacking on the diet and/or workouts.
ReplyDeleteYou are on the right track. Glad to hear you are in positive spirits :) Love the volunteering at the pet foodbank. I'm a total dog person myself and have considered doing some sort of volunteer work myself to get my doggy-fix. Looking forward to reading more of your adventures!
Now Matt may not like me moving in on his fur babies.
ReplyDeleteAmy, that's exactly me. I start doing well, clothes start getting loser, people start noticiing, etc. and then I get comfortable and slack off. It's a vicious cycle isn't it? Grrr!! Yes, I am sooo excited about the pet food bank. I hope I can start soon at the location closest to my house. The other one needs volunteers now, but it is such a long drive.
