Getting Back in the Groove
Yesterday was my first day back in the gym. It has been over two weeks. Erik didn’t think I could do it without complaining LOL. I have not wanted to step foot in the place yet! I have actually never felt this way about training so I guess it was really time for a break. I don’t even know how ‘ready’ I felt yesterday but I am hoping that once I get back in there on a regular basis, I will get back into the swing of things. I did get a chance to try a new movement. I did Overhead Holds. I always get a little nervous when I try something like this with heavy weights overhead because sometimes in the past I have felt unsteady. I felt the same thing when I tried Overhead Squats. And not to mention I just finished my workout, but I ended up feeling ok about it. I used 175.
As for my diet. I definitely took a break from that too. And even though I am not ‘happy’ about how I look right now, it was definitely worth it. I feel like I can go back at it feeling revived and ready. I looked at the calendar and realized just how much time I have until Nationals-about 20 weeks! That seems like forever. The best part is that it is here—in Atlanta. No traveling for me 
:)
On a personal note-Erik and Laura drove down from Canada to stay for a week with us. Erik wanted to take a ‘road trip’ and had never really driven over 5 hours….this trip was about 15 :lol: So we are trying to make plans to do several things while they are here. Some of which is meeting up with the Georgia crew for some training and then of course a dinner out :)
