4/18/12 AM workout

I am determined to get the body that I want. I'm 42 & have had 4 children & multiple tummy surgeries, but I am determined to get there no matter how long it takes. This, for me, has been about a lifestyle change, not about losing weight as much anymore. It's more like I'm a potter & my body is the clay and it's not easy to work my body into the way I'd like, but I will get there. I sure will.

I went to do my AM workout with a new drive that I don't know how to describe. It's like I have more hope than I've had in a long time. I have a lot of personal stuff that I could let get in my way & get depressed & buy ice cream and dr. pepper and feel like crap the next day.......what good would that accomplish? None.

so....I instead used my frustration with different things in my life as my drive to lift more...lift heavier (if at all possible). I think I can I think I can I think I can.

I did trap bar dead lifts. It was a grumpy thing for me because someone else had put all kinds of weight on it and didn't re-rack them. Losers. I guess they don't know the old 'if you put it on, take it off & put it up" that all other people know and do in our gym. None-the-less I removed them & started my work.
