Routine

So last week I got out of my routine. I skipped my Monday workout...and said...."I'll get it done tomorrow." Was that a big mistake. I ended up not doing my whole program for the week cause I thought I could rearrange my schedule and make it work. I think getting into a routine is the most important part of meeting goals. If you make a plan and stick to it, you will see results. However, if you make a plan and don't get in the routine of doing it, then it will be difficult to reach your goals.

Now that I am working full time, I am really trying to get into a routine.  It is so much easier then when I was in school, but I am still trying to figure everything out. I am going to do my best to commit to my plan, so when I compete in my first powerlifting meet next summer, I will be proud of what I have accomplished.

Dan's Chocolate Mousse

This is a recipe I created yesterday that is awesome!The servings are not large, but they are very rich. You really only need that much, believe me. Each serving has about 8 carbs, so it will satisify your chocolate cravings without ruining your diet and training. Dan wanted me to make sure that everyone knows that it was his idea :)
