It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to write.

In the last year and a half since I wrote I’ve experienced lots of changes and been extremely busy. Last year, I passed the California Bar Exam and became a licensed attorney. Since then I’ve been working as a Deputy Public Defender doing my absolute best to protect my clients’ rights and fighting for their innocence. There’s been times when I’ve been able to workout regularly and times when I haven’t worked out for months.

But now it’s time to get back to a regular routine!! The holidays were brutal. I didn’t workout at all and put on about 10 of the pounds I had previously lost and managed to keep off. So I started this year off determined to get back to exercising on a regular basis. Slowly but surely I have been increasing my workouts over the past month. I’m finally at a point were I’m ready to start the early morning workouts again.

I’m going to try to recreate the same routine that I had so much success with last time. Getting up early 430 or 5AM. No caffeine (okay… minimal caffeine). Staying hydrated. Getting good sleep. Working out regularly. Avoiding or minimizing unhealthy habits. And trying to automate my daily good habits as much as possible. Then give myself one “cheat” day for food (Friday), and two days of active rest and recovery over the weekend.

At least that’s the plan… wish me luck!
