    Fell off the wagon.

    As some of you may have noticed I haven't really been commenting or anything for a couple of weeks. (At least not as much).

    I lost track of my diet, stopped working out and started my old ways and I just opened my eyes and said sh**. Haha


    For the question, I'm back to lifting today. How do u guys get yourself back into the life when u fall out?

    Although I didn't 'fall off the wagon' like you did, I will be jumping back into gym next week after my hernia surgery a few weeks ago. I don't know how long you've been out, but I would start with moderate weight and work your way back into it. No reason to risk an injury. That doesn't mean you can't give it 100% though; lower weight, more reps until your body is used to handling the weight again. As far as mindset, I guess I don't really have any advice on that as I rarely have a problem with wanting to go to the gym. I just love throwing the iron around. I would just suggest you take a pre-workout, put in your earbuds, and get after it. Once you're through the first few sets, that feeling will come back to you. At least it does for me.

    just do it. pending your age you need to ramp in appropriately so as to avoid joint injury. either way it will suck, so don't fall off anymore! just adjust (that's what i've done for the last 16 years - i'm 53).

    Set your goals smaller, look for even the slightest of improvements to give you positive reinforcement allowing you to keep at it.

    Haha enough.

    As far as my training I can tell a difference for sure. (We are all are worst critics though)

    I really f***ED up that's for sure. Mostly fried food and that's when I would eat. Or taco bell because it is by my house.

    I have lost motivation a couple of times and I just looked at the pictures of myself from 10-15 years ago and that's all I need to get motivated again.

    Hmmmm. Very sexy? Prob not. Sexy to some...maybe. I do ok. which is a nice way to say I have areas I would like to improve. Genetics play a role so I have learned to make the most of my assets and downplay the others. I don't appeal to all men as all men don't appeal to me.

    Heels. I heels and :kiss: high heels. This gift is well suited for me.
