Back In The Saddle Again!

I constantly laugh at myself. I always have such high hopes and grandiose schemes and usually they never pan out. LOL. I wonder if I'll ever maintain a constant healthy routine or if I will always be this all-or-nothing? Oh well.

So I pretty much ate like crap all summer long. But you know what? Its OK. My clothes still fit, and I actually weigh a little less than when last I posted; I even wore a bikini a couple times over the summer! Its all good. Now to lean out, put some muscle back on, and eat clean! I'm excited!

The boys are back to school and with that comes a new routine with more "me" time. I'm sooo looking forward to getting back to the gym, you guys! I took a walk around the neighborhood today and decided I am not one of those outdoorsy walking/running people. I seriously just love going to the gym. Its my thing. I write down my workout plan in my little notebook. I fill up my water bottle; take my pre-workout supplement and my BCAAs. I drive the 3 minutes to the gym and walk in and always feel like a celebrity when the employees greet me.

Hello! Yes, hi, hello. You are my people and this is my place.


I go to the bathroom and get my music going (I listen to the same thing every single time) and make sure my clothes are still as decent as they were at home. I have a paranoia about the crotch of workout pants blowing out for some reason.

Usually around now my pre-workout kicks in and I have to refrain from doing kung fu moves on my way out of the bathroom.


Do you see? Going for a walk outside just doesn't do it for me. And thankfully my gym is small so there aren't a bunch of meatheads or idiots in there (usually, anyway .. if there happen to be a bunch of preening males hogging the weight room I make a note of the date and time in my notebook so I know not to go back around then).

Its my happy place. And I can't wait to get reacquainted! Which I will be doing at 5:30am tomorrow so I'd better get to bed.
