this made me laugh pretty damn hard this morning :stuck_out_tongue:

My schedule has been so off lately. I’m discussing it with management and laying it out for them today. Gym days are a must, they can schedule me around that.

My first meet is in less than 2 weeks and I am stressing…haven’t been in the gym as much as I need to be.

Wow, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted. Not gonna start with a bunch of nonsense about myself. Just a few quick facts about me and the life I live now, which has changed by leaps and bounds in the last 4 years.

I am one month shy of turning 43.

I am a mother of 4 teenagers, ranging in age from 14 to 19.

Graduated nursing school at the ripe ol’ age of 42 lol.

Took a Motorcycle Safety Course first week of December 2013.

Met an awesome guy and married him second week of December 2013.

Went on a 2.5 week motorcycle honeymoon down the coast of Mexico.

I am currently teaching both of my teenage daughters how to drive

And…I’ve decided it’s time to get back to the gym, full-time! Starting a journal because I like having this for myself, to track my progress, and for constructive feedback/advice. I’ve tried paper journals, not my thing for the most part, but whatev.

Lifting History:

Started lifting almost 6 years ago. (Never accomplished too much since I didn’t really push myself, but I started a foundation of sorts)

Started powerlifting in October 2012 and LOVED it!

Between school, sometimes 2 jobs, 4 kids and a herniated L4, L5…I got a little lost, and then fell off the map entirely where training and nutrition were concerned.

So, now…here I am, again.

Schedule is always full, sometimes ridiculously so, but it is what it is and I’ll make it work.

GYM PLAN:

Monday–Chest/Tri’s/HIIT
Tuesday–LISS/Yoga
Wednesday–Back/Bi’s/HIIT
Thursday–Shoulders/HIIT
Friday–Legs/HIIT
Saturday–LISS/Yoga
Sunday–LISS/Yoga

Cardio sucks and my strength has taken a nosedive in the last 2 years, but I’m back to get my groove on and make it happen. Feels very humbling, however, it’s temporary

Macros are outlined in FitDay and meal prep is done.

Here we go!
