I tok a week off from training in order to give my body some rest.
Today I started on a new training routine that will allow me to build muscles. I don't want much more, but a couple of lbs of lean muscles. I'll post that later on..

I also took a week off from dieting. I Thoroughly enjoyed myself eating cookies, too many almonds and other things I normally don't eat. Today, however is back on track with one day cheat MEAL per week, not a cheat day. So, I'll keep that to a minimum and will try not to go too far off on my cheats. I really enjoy eating clean. I feel good all of the time!

Thank you, Amie!
Where have you been? I thought we lost you here!

Yes, really I am 52. Have you done another show?
I'm taking off till the spring. I was doing to do Worlds in November, but I decided to stay off till the Spring. I want to build a couple of lbs of lean muscles or at least have the illusion I have more muscles. I want to stay feminine. Besides I love fashion waaayyyy too much to get big.
I'm sure you look amazing..

I've taken off from training due to and anjury on my elbow that required cortizone shot (very painful)and the fact that I'm over trained. I knwe that, but it's hard for me to take off. Anyway, I finally did it! I'm feeling better from my elbow and more rested from the time off.

I'm back to the gym on Monday and hopefully I'm good to go.
I have changed my program to DC as some of you know. I'm a bit worry, b/c I'm not sure if this will work for me considering that I'm a figure competitor and not BB. Everyone tells me it will. Fortunately, I only want to gain about 10 lbs or less of muscles. Unfortunately, b/c of being a woman and at 52, it's a lot harder to gain any muscles, so I'm taking it to the extreme. I guess it's an experiment!Ha! I don't know of any woman my age doing the DC program and the results it will attain.
I will let you all know how it goes..

I think the hardest thing about training is not training. I've hated every time i've had to take a week off in the past. Good for you hanging in there and getting rest. I can't wait to see your progress.

Thanks, OneBreath!

It is very hard to take time off, but I'm so glad I did, b/c I feel 100 times better and I was stronger on my lifts this morning. So, I had an awesome workout starting today. From now on, when I start feeling like I need time off, I'll just listen to my body and just chill for a week.

We may have to rename the women's section the doggpound.

I may let Dante know that there are a few of us documenting our DC journals.

Sorry to hear about your injury.

One good thing about DC training is that it is only 3 times a week, 4 max.

You may find that with the extra recovery time you will put on muscle.

Yes, I'm doing the 2 split and so far I'm loving it. I no longer have to do so many exercises per body part as I used to. I think my body is loving it too
I'll star recording it soon. Just making sure I'm getting the hang of it.
