Hey everyone. . . It’s been a hot minute since I blogged so here is an update. I went on a vacation to Boston and Niagara Falls and it was some awesome downtime with some sight seeing. Unfortunately, my eating habits and workouts took a vacatino also. I haven’t hit it hard for about 3 weeks now. The second week of my vacation was spent doing yard work and community service but healthy eating habits were back online. This week I am back at healthy eating and hitting the gym renewed and refreshed, rededicated. I’m still so far from where I want to be. I need to tackle old challenges (sleep habits, very occassional stress eating, schedule conflicts and time management). At the end of October I am starting my MA online with Gonzaga university for Organizational Leadership. I am very much looking forward to it but it will certainly add another cog to my time management learning process with a large workload. I have to say as far as goals go, I feel a bit unfocused. I don’t really know my bf %. I want it LOWER but I am not sacrificing lean mass. That being said, I really just want to up the intensity (which isn’t very low to start with). I’m going to be staying in the 10-15 rep range with an average of 45-60 seconds of rest between sets. I am going to start back with 1 major muscle group (16-20 sets per group) a day on a 4 day workout program (I have MUCH yard work that needs to be accomplished!); probably Mon/Tuesday; Thurs/Friday. I am also pledging to up the cardio which is currently almost nonexistent. As much as I hate it, I do feel better after I accomplish some cardio. I would also like to offer an apology to you all that I frequently communicate for falling off the map for a few weeks. After that much time off I feel like somewhat of a dissappointment to myself but it did give me a chance to rest (my weight is actually slightly down, ironically) and refocus. SO, to all of you, happy training!
