My Vacation was a killer and I don’t mean in a good way.  Don’t get me wrong, I had a great vacation but I had no workouts for a week so it killed my momentum! Not one workout in a week.  I guess every once in a while that is a good thing to completely rest your body but what it does to your motivation to workout is terrible!  I’m now convincing myself to workout as in run/bike or walk only.  All these things are good but I need to get back to weight training.  I know how important it is to stay strong and running, biking and walking ain’t going to get me there sister!  I have no desire to go to the gym because the weather is just too nice to be inside with the masses there.  I’m just finding it hard to get back on track.  I was so motivated to hit and be in the best shape of my life but that dissipated to not being completely out of shape.  NOT where I want to be at all!  Part of me is afraid to start weights again because of the chest pain issue.  Those episodes went away when I stopped weight lifting although I had 2 while on vacation so it can’t be entirely due to weights, still, I am hesitant to pick them up again.  This is probably why I switch gears every day to just run, bike or walk.  The big question is how do I build strength while not overdoing it?  Can you strengthen and tone with just bodyweight?  I guess the only way to find that out is to do SOMETHING over my nothing of late.  So there is my current conundrum to which I need to find a solution.  It feels more challenging than it probably is
