I am getting closer to where I want to be at a physical level and I am happy to say that my hard work, pain, sweat, tears, struggles, falling down and getting back up is starting to pay off. At 54 I am more fit than I was in my 20's 30's and 40's. In spite of the fact that I had a shoulder injury due to a fall I had off my bicycle a couple of months ago (see blog Dec 22) and have not been able to do and upper body weight training, I have continued to do my workouts to the best of my ability by modifying. My arms look like noodles right now, thank god for muscle memory, I know my muscles will remember what they need to do once I can start pumping iron again.
I Still want those rock hard abs and at my age I have to work harder, so they tell me and really watch what I eat. To be honest, I've just been a little bit lazy. I know I should maybe add more ab moves and yes maybe I am using my shoulder injury as a excuse or I think of it as "God" letting me it's time to slow down for awhile. This past summer I was doing several workouts a day with my friend, maybe I was over training just a little bit. For now I am just doing Turbo Fire and running on my treadmill. And thank goodness for my Shakeology for giving me energy I need to push through and not to mention the health benefits.
My goals this year 2012 are:
Running a half Marathon in April
Climb Half Dome with my sisters in May
Run the CIM Full Marathon in December
Peace, Love, Health, and Fitness,
J9
