Returning to heavy weights : )
Well today I decided its time to return to heavy weights… since the beginning of September I have been going light weight/high reps due to the transition from an actual gym to an at home gym. I saw great progress for about 6 weeks but then I noticed the progress was slowing down and I wasnt making the leaps and bounds I had before..
Giving that I looked at a calendar today and that it really sank in I am shooting for the teeny weeny bikini by Feb 2008 (mid month) which is really only about 3 months away.. I do not have all the time in the world here… well I could probably use my divorce paperwork as an excuse for slacking the past 3 weeks or stress but instead I am going to take the cake and say its because I was lazy. Instead of using all of the emotion I was feeling and putting it into working out…I pretty much sat and wallowed (and ate a bunch of chocolate)…
No more, that chapter is done! It is really time to move towards my goal.. I want that teeny weeny bikini by Feb!!! I sat down last night and ;looked at my progress journal I have kept over the past 6 months and decided its time to return to heavy weights for a bit. Also, its back to a squeaky clean diet! I think over the next 3 months I will be using 4-6 weeks to cycle heavy weights while doing pilates and yoga to lengthen muscles… then I will cycle out low weights/high reps.
Well today I hit heavy weights and I am already sore… I had an amazing day of clean eating and after work its walking the dog and pilates for me.
