Best of luck tomorrow at the gym, it will feel good to be back lifting I am sure!! Let's hope the hurt will be a GOOD hurt!!

We just got our first snow fall here yesterday. It was light, but I am so not a fan of winter. Believe it or not, 100 degree heat actually sounds good to me right now!!

It was SO hot. Lacking in water, not enough fiber, need to add more veggies.
The gym was harder than I thought so I will not over do it for the first week or so - it feels like I haven't been in months!

Ahhhh, didn't those endorphins kick in!!!! Back on track!

I can relate in the way of trying "not to over do it" ...

I've had a bit of the opposite effect, jumped right back in and wanted more more more.

I literally have to check myself often, decrease the weight and then force myself to leave the gym, after starting back up as of late.

I'm sure it will fade as time contraints always pop up ... and soon to be more snow
