On a new adventure

Hey blog watchers and followers. I have decided to take a different road on my journey of finding my way. I wanted to share it with you all. I was doing an 8 week challenge and I got to week 4 and I let a stressful situation take my focus off my goal and I failed to complete it. I have not been working out on a constant basis like I normally do. 

 

Now this has put me behind in my training schedule. I have a Facebook fitness friend from a different state and she noticed that I have not been posting about my works or that I have been to the gym. She was concerned with my progress. I told her that my boss was out for a week and things at work have been over the top stressful. I felt lost and was trying to find my balance to find my happy place. I have been deep in meditation and prayer. I have talked with my counselor and she has expressed to me the impact that a negative situation can have on my life and I have really been feeling it over past few months. After a serious fitness talk with my friend the weight my world was lifted. I have decided to make a huge change in my life.

 

Let me tell you about my fitness friend. About a month ago when my fitness friend can out of the dark and showed herself to me she said she wanted to help me get fitness model ready the best she could from a distance. She sent me some books and emailed me a lot of information that was SO helpful. She couldn’t believe that I couldn’t find anyone in my home town to get me any type of help or support without asking for payment. I explain to her that Vegas is a mixing pot full of people who are only out for themselves. It is rare that you will find a person that wants to help you without getting anything in return.  Which is the main reason I started iSweat@home to help others get to their goal.

I haven’t stopped working out, but I haven’t been giving it my all getting down and dirty with it. I’ve worked out maybe 3 times a week and I haven’t been hitting the weight.  I will be doing a training session at 6:30 in the am.  Starting Monday morning, so I think this is just what I need! To get myself back together!

 

Sunday the “workout wagon” will be picking me up and taking me where I need to be. My fitness friend sent me a book “The new rules of lifting for women” it’s a very complicated book. I had to read it a few times to understand the training schedule but I finally figured it out. So I will be starting out the phase one of the training session..  This is the perfect start for a weight training routine if you don’t know where to start.  So I’m going to walk you through this program with me so if you get the book you don’t have to read it 5 times like I did..

 

Phase One:

 

16 work outs

 

Monday- Work out 1
Tuesday- cardio, Abs
Wednesday- Work out 2
Thursday- Cardio, Abs
Friday-Work out 1

So this first week will be a total of 3 work outs

Repeat this for 14 work outs
