PTEST'S DORM ROOM

There pretty much are no excuses anymore. This is the first time in my life I have gotten a little lazy, well really lazy in my eyes. In July I found out I had 4 bulging discs in my low back, it pretty much made me feel scared to do anything, so at that time I def had to lay off the strongman and I dropped a little weight to keep less pressure off my lower back. Once the end of Oct came, I pretty much went into getting tot he gym once or twice a week and really just going through the motions. Some weeks I did not even get there at all, I was eating about once or twice a day. Then Nov came and I was overwhelmed with work, working retail at the holiday time is a nightmare, and it just got worse, as I went from managing one store to two! So less time to workout and less time to eat, again, excuses...if i were dedicated like I was in the past years, i would have found the time or 5 minutes to eat! Well now that all this is over, besides my back, which I have to get checked out soon, I am back at it, I have reached an all time low in the past 5 yrs of 210lbs!! My strength is horrilbe, and I am pretty soft! So over the past two weeks I have gotten myself into at least 4 meals a day, hitting the gym,light but intense, by doing 5x5 workouts and really just takingmy time working into it. 3 days a week right now, push day, leg day, and a pull day! So far it is working as I am feeling better, gaining strength back and excited to be in the gym again. I have a vacation on an island this year I am going to and dont want my fiance to be embarrassed to be on the beach with me, I am possibly competing in a pro-qualifer strongman in June, if the dr says my discs are ok, and just want to get back in shape. I always said I would never become one of these people, but I did and I will make changes, Guess I am one of those new years workout people, but I will stick with it and get back to my old self. Wish me luck! And my blogs will hold me accountable to getting back in shape!
