I took the summer off from lifting to take care of my kids who were obviously out of school and train for a 1/2 marathon. Today I started back to lifting. It felt so INCREDIBLE to be back lifting! I just wanted to lift, push and pull everything in the gym! It was admittedly difficult to start with lower weights, but I'll build back up.
There was one lady who would lift at the gym around the same time I would before I took off for the summer. She was there today and looked FANTASTIC! I could totally tell in her arms that she had lost body fat and really built over the summer. I told her that she had vastly improved over the summer and she should be proud of the work she had done. She was so happy and said "Thank you for telling me. It is so hard to see yourself everyday and you begin to doubt if anything is changing!" At least it was proof that things can and WILL change in 3 months-and I have 7 left before my D-day!
