Well, I didn’t go yesterday to the gym.  The way I figured was that I had been away from the gym for so long that I should ease myself back into the routine.  I did go today though and I feel good.  I worked out my chest and triceps.  I am taking it lightly though so as to not overdo it and end up getting more dizzy spells or light-headedness.  At least I am taking steps to getting back into the gym.  Winter break is coming up within the next couple weeks so I can look forward to not having to be up late at night at school and waking up early to go to the gym.  I don’t plan on going to the gym tomorrow, but we will see.  I will be going on Friday to workout my legs and shoulders.  For now I will definitely be going three times per week and then slowly increase the days depending on how I feel.  I am feeling much better about myself though, so this is a plus.  Just wish it wasn’t so cold.  I hate New England…lol.

Well, I finally did it. I made my way back to the gym.   It’s been tough but I finally made it.  I’m so proud of myself.  It may sound like nothing but right now I am trying to overcome a barrage of health issues and this is a great feat for me because I was ready to give up.  Thanks to those who encourage me to continue.  And to those who tell me I should give up, they only encourage me more.  Now, if only I didn’t have these health issues it would probably make my workouts more enjoyable but hey at least I am back at the gym right?  I felt it was an ok workout but that should be expected since I just started up again.  Let’s try again tomorrow.

I know this has nothing to do with bodybuilding but clothing enthusiasts, I have a 30% off Family and Friends coupon for the Gap/OldNavy and Banana Republic which is valid from 11/13-11/16.  I have so many invites left over and I don’t want them to go to waste.  Please send me a PM with your email address if interested.

Well, I am making a promise to myself to start my workout regimen again on Monday.  I have put a lot of the stresses aside.  Even though my health issues are not resolved yet and may be far from resolved, I made it a point to remove some of the other stresses so that I am not overwhelmed.  I want to get back to the point where I was starting to feel good about myself.  I miss the feeling I had when I was working out, a sense of accomplishment.  Unfortunately, this barrage of stresses attacked me in ways that I couldn’t (and can’t) cope with.  I want to feel like I am on my way to reaching my goals again especially since my college graduation is coming up in May and when I reach that milestone I want to exude my happiness inwards and outwards.  Plus, I want to look good when I reach for the diploma sleeve.  Hopefully everything goes according to plan and there aren’t as many speed bumps in my way.
