Three Time’s A Charm, but FOUR…
: [Times] is a definite measure establishing a commitment to reach a goal? I speak of my past week of working out and re-hob of my new surgically embedded ACL. I managed to work out 4 times this week for 90-120 minutes each session. And another day remains:tomorrow.
Yes, I plan to arrive at the gym by 8am. This will ensure that I can complete 2 hours of training before the late morning Saturday crowd make their presence. I like active gyms, sometimes too much, as I talk more than 50% of my time spent there, I just want to eschew any avoidable distractions to my plan of attack of recovery efforts. I understand that in the course of life, “distractions are indeed inevitable. More importantly, they can be MANAGED.
Hopefully tomorrow, the Dallas area will be free of cold, wintry weather. If we are stricken with such, I won’t fall victim to forgoing my gym experience using the inclement weather as an excuse. I’ll keep an eye on the weather reports and accordingly delay my commute. Yes, I prefer working out at 8am on Saturday morning, but the importance to maintain my recently €˜re-found’ training consistency far outweighs any existing or potential idiosyncrasies of the gym. Here’s to a good week with more to follow! –Dawn Melanie

Not to worry, Dawn. We know you’re in charge of this situation. We never doubted your resolve!

I have no doubt in you! Your dedication and motivation are a true inspiration to me. I am going to the orthopedist on monday to see what damage has taken place and pray that I will only need some physical therapy to correct this injury because I want to get lean. Thanks for the support.

I am glad to see that you made it. I, too, spend a lot of time socializing at the gym. The bad thing is that I workout by myself in my garage. But I’ve got to tell you, I know myself pretty well now. All joking aside, I like the way that you set yourself up for success. I think that planning and foresight are two of the most important aspects of training and diet. Keep it up.

Yes please borrow any of the exercise in my routine you think will help you. I don’t know what is good for your knees but that routine doesn’t involve any weights–but I am still sore so its definitely intense! Good Luck!
