Happy new years FS! For me, this year isn’t about focusing on the number on the scale, but about what my body can do. I want to complete a Tough Mudder, I want to compete in a weightlifting competition, and I want to do another century ride. To do these things well, I need to eat well and train hard. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it, and get rid of my “all or nothing” attitude. Good enough is good enough.
This month I’m giving up all alcohol, and focusing hard on strength training. I have personal training 2x a week, crossfit 4x a week, and barbell club 2x a week where we work on our oly lifts. I’ve been doing something similar for a while now, and it has been working well. The only thing I would cut back on is a crossfit session if I’m getting too sore or need to spend some time recovering. The last thing I want to do is injure myself.
But I gotta say that following this program hasn’t been a challenge because I enjoy it so much! I wish I would have discovered how satisfying strength training is years ago. Now that I actually have a clue what I’m doing in the weight room, it’s not a chore to work out.
