Day Off–Legs Tomorrow
Yesterday, I did manage to make it back to the gym and hung in there for about 30 minutes. I was still achy and couldn’t squat for nothing. So, I took this for what it was, I needed to rest–badly. Today, I stretched and have eaten really well. I made the bomb chicken and tofu with swiss chard as a side–so good. I will be gassy later and would like to apologize to my husband, in advance, for tonight. On a good note, the water retention has continued to get better, the little definition I have is back, and my knees feel good. I am looking forward to tomorrow morning’s workout–leg day and lots of abs! What a great way to kick off the next 7 days.
I am so excited about the New Year and all that it holds. This whole practice of bodybuilding and the discpline that goes with it has put some things into perspective. I have just been thinking about all of the things that I would like to do and the small things that I should be doing everyday to achieve my goals–just like in the gym. I am so close to earning my MA and want to pursue a doctorate degree in Literacy Studies to support struggling readers at the middle school level. Not that I know what my focus and goals are, I just need to take the small steps to making the work that I want to do central. One of my first challenges is getting organized. I slack on that and then find myself buried under stacks of papers, which in itself is frustrating and stressful.
