Ok, it has been a minute…
🎶Allow me to re-introduce myself…..in my best H-to-the-O-V voice 🎶
The last time I left off, I was eight months into some competition prep ( link). I say some because I never set my sight on an actual date. Well, that was almost two years ago. Wow can’t believe it’s been that long.
Sooooo, what has happened in two years…..
As you all know, I have been in the running game for quite some time now (not as much lately as before but I still gets it in every now and again). Â Well, last March I wanted to help my running by adding some strength training into the mix. Â Somehow, I got totally hooked on lifting weights and only ran when I made the time (outside of lifting). Â It was also during this time that I met several people in the figure competition world. Â I saw that you had to be very disciplined, focused and determined to make that a reality. Â I already posses all of those traits, so I said why not give it a try.
So here I am weeks 1-2 giving it a go.
Welcome to week 2 of me balancing running (well walking for now) and strength training into my life. If this is your first time reading one of my strength training post, I’m taking a strength training class at Columbia Fitness Boot Camp and sharing my experiences along the way.
Haha!! After week one, I am noticing a few small changes in my body. I actually picked up a heavier weight in class on Monday 🙂 .
This was a very busy week, but somehow I managed to get it all done. It wasn’t easy but actually taking the time to ‘pencil’ it in really helped me to stick with it. On Sunday, I wrote down a plan of action for the upcoming week. I knew what I was having for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Â I even had my snacks planned out. Â I also wrote my workout and eating schedule down as well. Â When you plan it is kind of hard to fail (note to self: Â Write this in big letters for next week post).
Let me just start by saying….I AM THE WEAKEST LINK!!!! Yes, I realize I have to crawl before I walk but man this weight training is no joke. Â Which for me is a good thing. Â I love to push and challenge myself and I think I’m going to be able to do just that at Columbia Fitness Boot Camp.
