First time blog
Never blogged before so this is my first time…obviously. Actually kind of scared since I’m an extremely private person. I actually have journaled pretty much my whole life..the written word…but that’s very different as you are the only one who reads what you wrote and those writings and thoughts are yours to share..or not. Here, you do have an option to share as well..but..to a whole lot more and diverse crowd. You leave yourself wide open to scrutiny..though maybe not in a bad way. I really don’t know. I see and read so many people who have written about their training, eating habits and failures and yet they seem to have no fear or trepidation about posting their thoughts and exposing themselves for all or any to see. Apparently I’m attempting to do so myself or I wouldn’t be sitting here typing at this very moment. Believe it or not, I’m actually very happy with how far I’ve progressed..everything is moving steady, not fast and my logic in that is it took me many years of bad life and health choices to be where I was, it will take me quite a while to get where I should be. I’m if nothing else, patient and patience reaps its own rewards. If I wrestle with anything, I think its because of my age that I don’t recover as well as some I’ve read about. While I do get sore and tired at times, there are moments where I seem to be really fatigued and too sore or sore all the time ..even to just breathe. Someone suggested I may be overtraining but I honestly don’t believe so. I do train five days a week, one body part a day, with ab training three to four days a week, and moderate cardio anywhere from two to four days a week. Take my supplements faithfully, eat very clean and rest. I’ve taken off nine days since I began training in Feb. I’ve read some people take off a week every three months or so to give their body a rest. I realize this is a personal thing and doesn’t apply to everyone. I’m due to take off a week in Sept. of course it’ll be the week when the kids go back to school. I guess I had just assumed for me being older that more rest and recovery may be required. Whoa!!! I think I got carried away on this blogging thing. Apparently my hesitancy is a thing of the past. Sorry!!!
