How to get back on track after you fall off
How to get back on track after you fall off, it happens when you least expect it! I was doing such a great job and excited to start the Bodybuilding.com transformation challenge.
I was clearly excited to do leg day today, and had great visions of what my week would entail. I had my workout routine down to a T. Monday, Leg day, Tuesday, back and Biceps, Wed, Chest, Shoulders, triceps
Thursday, Legs, Friday, Back and biceps, Sat, Chest Shoulders Triceps, Sunday is my day off rest
I started the week off with a little bit of an ear infection, but I made it to the gym. I did about 50 minutes of aerobics before hitting my legs. I like getting in a long warm up before stretching.
I love doing legs all alone because I work them until I am exhausted. I am afraid when I get back to the gym Monday I will have lost a lot of power. BUT I will not giveup this journey.
Dave and I went on a cruise in the beginning of January, working out made me confident to be in a bikini walking the beach. The other benefits of working out, feeling confident about yourself. That is so important, being almost 50 I want to be active in my older years. The little set back I have had has let me think about being in active versus active. My daughter visited for a week after I had my ear infection so I decided to take that next week off to spend time with my daughter versus three hours at the gym, then work my full time job, which luckily I work from home.
I got to spend time with my grandson Dallas, here we are at the Naples pier, it was pretty cold but Dallas had a blast splashing in the waves. So I sit here this Saturday morning planning my return to the workout world and getting back on track. Getting my mind recharged after my daughters visit has lit a fire in my belly. SO, if you have fallen off the wagon, get back on! I look forward to updating you with my process!

This is a great encouraging post. I plan on getting back on track after being on vacation and being sick the last three weeks.

This is something I really need to do. I have not participated in any exercise class, neither have I gone to the gym or jogged a few miles. I am totally out of shape! Thanks for the inspiration. I am a grandmother too, and that is no excuse for not exercising at all.

YOu look incredible, and you certainly got back into it a great way. I wouldn’t mind a bit of your dedication!

You are a beauty machine! And I am so inspired by what you do. My boyfriend and I were just talking over dinner that we should always stay on track and the best motivator would be to think about why we even started with our fitness journey. We’re counting 3 weeks into Circuit Training and so far, so good.

You look amazing! This is inspiring, especially for me after I have baby I can’t wait to get back on track.It won’t be easy though, but I’m looking forward to it.
Heather
Wow you look awesome! You’ve definitely got the gym routine down and the body to show for it! Congrats and keep up the good work!

This is a great post. It’s important to get back on track after being away or eating outside your “comfort zone” and not having worked out for a while.

It can be hard to get back to it once you stop for a while. I know I have trouble with that all of the time. Seems like if I skip the yoga for a day or 2 its even harder going back ha

It sure is nice to jump back on that wagon when you fall off. This is indeed something I need to start doing again. It helps not only with self confidence but helps with reducing stress levels too. You look great.

Very encouraging, I always get a little un motivated after I slip up
Adrienne
Looking good! Good for you. It’s always so hard to get back on track at the gym when you’ve taken a break. I always kick myself every time that happens because I’m so mad that I let myself get off track in the first place!
