Have to Take a Mandatory Break
Hey All!!
I haven’t been around lately because in my very very excited and ambitious pursuit of my dream (stepping on the stage; getting my certification; starting my business) I injured myself and the doc told me I can’t even look at a gym until I heal which can take upto three months, my beautiful coach NPC National Competitor Amanda Genao said I’m not even allowed to go through these sites like I used to. Yes, I know this all makes me want to defy docs order and just do some small amount of cardio and some light weights….but I’m taking my time to get better and I went back on my diet hoping to lose 20 pounds and some bodyfat prior to getting back in the gym. I’ve been training my teenage stepkids and my little ones, which I have been getting such a kick out of. They tell me for a week how much pain they are in but they love it just like me.
The gym was MY time to do what I love. I work, commute over three hours a day, take care of five children;a husband; a big ole house that needs contant cleaning. The ONE thing I had just for me is the one thing I had to give up; this is very, very difficult, but I’m taking it one day at a time knowing that before the year is up I get to have the privledge of waking up at 4am and doing what I love best with great people every morning before the sun is even up!!

Sorry to here about your misfortune. What kind of injury was it. I like where your head is at. Very positive. Sounds like u have plenty to keep u busy while u heal. Stay strong, & when u r ready to get back at it GO SLOW. Have a speedy recovery. Take care Bob

Thanks for your encouragement, I had a muscle repair and tightning in my stomach. My Plastic Surgeon released me and told me I was free to return to my regular routine guess he didn’t figure I was heading in the bodybuilding direction so I tore a muscle in my abdomen……..it sucks!! But now I make sure I tell him more infor than he needs just so he is informed……….
