Its time to Change…
I am finally returning home this week after being gone for over a year in Iraq, Fort McCoy, Fort Hood, and Fort Lewis in the Wounded Warrior program…
I am very frustrated in so many things that has happened the past few months.
1. I re-injured my back and now feel like I can’t do any moves or hard core lifts
2. I had lost 45lbs in Iraq and have gained at least 15lbs back and I feel like its all flab…
3. I come home alone to no one other than my daughters, I left for Iraq in love and I still have feelings for her but she sent me a "dear john" while I was in Iraq because the distance was too great and things got misunderstood due to the fact we were 11 time zones apart…
Time to Change - Time to restart everything…
Sometimes it helps if I can focus on one aspect to get my vision right - So right now I am gonna focus on my training to get feeling better and then work on the rest…
So for my lower back to gain flexibility - I am actually thinking that yoga and pilates would be the best thing.
For full body workouts, I need to get back to swimming
I was thinking that 2 short cardio sessions would help me in dropping some weight
As for my weight lifting aspect - I think that I re-hurt myself by going to heavy too fast. I was reading an article about sets of 20’s, 50’s and 100’s with very light weights and how that could help in building my core back up to strength without re-injuring my back and how it will re-build my body to look and feel good again.
The only part that I am worried about is my diet… A single dad with little kids half the time, rehabbing his back - I am gonna re-read about things to eat and work on eating more salads - gag me
Anyone got any other ideas?
