Gotta Get Back To My Lifting

Life has been busy with a lot going on, so I have been neglecting my lifting. First I had the visit in December, then the holidays. Early January brought the post holiday funk.

After that we had the snow and ice, and I did make my shoulder a bit angry clearing that. Life turned to chaos around that time, and we had our trip. Now we are home from that.

I have been thinking, Man, I need to get back to my lifting. I love lifting. It brings me a deep level of inner peace and joy. Not only that, but it is just fun to move weight.

Last night I got a phone call from an old friend, and he asked if I was still lifting. I said no, but I plan on getting back into it soon. I feel like my mind is settled enough now to focus on it and not really risk injuring myself.

Now, because I haven’t been doing my normal lifting does not mean I have not been doing anything. I have been doing WODs and heavier weights in some of them. Today I did one with the empty barbell for snatches, but that was only because I haven’t done them in a while at all, so I wanted to get a feel for them. The last thing I need is for a new bad habit to set in. I have struggled enough with that in the past.

I don’t think we have anything planned, so I think I may try to get started on my lifting routine again this weekend. I also want to bump the intensity of my WODs and maybe start doubling up again.
