Digging In

Life has been crazy lately.  Between work, college, family, writing full time, and the million trips and exhausting paper work required to join the military, I have not been hitting the gym like normal.  And I feel it to.  Not just when I look in the mirror, but just with my overall alertness, endurance, and mental well-being.

I’ve started back up on my regular routine, which includes my strict diet.  Diet to me is about 70% of the battle, while working out takes the right foods and turns them into muscle.

It feels good to start my typical routine again.  I was out of it for a good month, and I hate that.  I’m somewhat ahead in my studies, the military stuff is squared away and now I can start focusing on my workouts again.

If you’ve hit a dry spell and haven’t been able to keep up your routine for a little while, don’t sweat it, just jump back in and get right back where you want to be.

It’s too easy to miss a week here and a week there and abandon it all together.  Life happens, and sometimes there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to juggle everything, but as soon as time becomes available again, start pushing yourself.  It is worth it.
