Day 2: No sense easing into things.
Momentum. It takes more energy to get an object moving than it does to keep it moving.
it took about a day to catch a full head of steam. I'm glad that my schedule mandates that i do my cardio on monday. If I had started with my UBW yesterday, i think i'd be lacking a little momentum. Funny how muscle soreness can grind you down. I was looking forward to hitting the weights today. For about the last 5 years or so i've been dealing with one incompetent bozo doctor after another, each telling me something different concerning the gym. It all became so frustrating that i finally just said "The heck with it". After working with a doctor/rehab/trainer guy on this neck and shoulder he encouraged me to just get right back in.
In days gone by, i used to use every little thing as ans excuse to excuse myself from having to go to the gym. Any little deviation in my rigid little schedule would cause me to forego my personal commitment (usage: loose) to fitness so i would have 'plenty of time to rest'. Funny thing, i never felt any more rested, only more like i needed rest. Well today something came up. Wanna know what i did? I went and did it, then i went to the gym and killed it.
Me being who I am, i don't know how to ease into anything. Might as well jump in with both feet. I did. Hit some 10's, woke up some muscles that i had forgotten about, got pumped up and made it happen; single-mindedness in action.
