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
IMG_2854 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. 
IMG_2856 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.
bahamas 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.
FullSizeRender (21) 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!
