Maybe This Year Will Be Better Than The Last...

In related news, I am showing my age by dropping a fairly huge Counting Crows reference in the title.

I did have a particularly long and awful December, which accounts for my going off the grid for a bit. My fitness plans got derailed, and I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have liked.

Thankfully, however, a well-timed stomach flu coincided with Holiday Overeating Season, so I managed to only gain 4 pounds. And since I've been lifting more at the gym (going into 8 weeks of a 'muscle development phase', Jay says) I'm not overly concerned about a tiny backslide at this point.

Gym is PACKED with the New Years Resolution crowd right now. I hope they'll thin out by mid-February ("thin out" has a double-meaning here, I suppose).

Last week was very successful in terms of my training goals. It went a little something like this:

Monday - Jitsu
Tuesday - Gym with Jay
Wednesday - Judo
Thursday - Gym ("Push" day)
Friday - Jitsu
Saturday - Rest day
Sunday - Gym ("Pull" day)

This was ideal, and I'd like to keep it up. Here's hopin'.
(Subsequent posts will detail the push/pull split, but suffice it to say that I'm happy with the concept so far.)
