Clearly, I fell off blogging pretty quickly after creating this blog!  BUT the good news is that I’ve been hard at work at the gym and planning my nutrition!  I think I’ve finally settled into a groove, and it feels great to be in the swing of things.  Blogging is definitely meant to be a supplement to the planning and a reflection of my follow-through.  Luckily my lack of blogging is not a good indicator of either of those things!

I will still try to be better about blogging, since it’s pretty easy to start slipping if I’m not checking in somewhere on a regular basis!  Part of it is probably due to logging my workouts in Fitocracy and my meals in MyFitnessPal.  If I do those things on a regular basis and things are going well, I don’t necessarily need to blog about my “struggles”!

I AM starting the Lean & Lovely program, though, and one of things she wants followers to do is daily reflections of gratitude.  So at the very least, I’ll try to log in here to post those even if I’m not blogging about my eating or workouts!  

I did do my first workout of L&L the other day, and I can already tell she designed the program with efficiency in mind.  It’ll be way easy to get a ton of work done in the gym with minimal time/ fighting others for equipment.  Once I’m done with the program, I’ll try to employ this sort of efficiency when I design my NROL-Supercharged Hypertrophy and Strength phases.  

Reflections of Gratitude
I’m grateful for having such a full life that I don’t always have the time for various projects, like this blog!  It’s hard juggling work, training, volunteering, and a social life with also maintaining an online presence!  I’m glad to be able to find a balance, even though the first thing that gets dropped is usually my online presence!
