Getting serious about muscle mass

Now that my move is almost over and the weather is changing, I've decided to get serious about not just being healthier and slimmer but finally working on gaining muscle mass again. I used to work out with people who competed in natural body building, and I used tone in great muscular shape. But used to doesn't count for much, does it? It's like the guys who are forty and still talking about their high school touchdown! Lol. Though, I have to admit, I kept up my weights until just a few years ago, but muscle mass slacks after about 90 days, so I'm in that has-been mode.

I've been thinking about this a lit, and we often see women on commercials (because really, where else do they ever exist) that are ripped. I decided to strive for it. I can become obsessive very easily (thank you OCD), so maybe I'll do it, or...maybe I'll slack off because I'm 44 and busy and a bit lazier these days. Who knows, but it will be fun to try.

I'm going to do my Girl Gone Chatty videos to see how my body changes in 90 days. That should put pressure on me:-) Unless, of course, I decide to blow that off, too...which could happen.

S, there you have it. I'm striving for muscle mass without giving up what's left of my writing time, which means March-June. Not much time at all, but still.

How am I going to do it? Well, so far my plan is to continue with my morning aerobic, and slip in the P90x system for an hour in the late afternoons. I might be able to get the kids to do it with me, who knows. Also, my dh got a great deal on an ab glider fro. Craigslist, and even when I did 1200 stomach exercises/day (literally) I still didn't have a visible six pack, so I'll try to add that into the mix and see what happens.

As for food, now that the birthday is over, I'm free and clear until my birthday in June! Perfect! So, roll your eyes, laugh, and wish me luck! I'll probably post my first GGC video next week sometime after the move. And then...the race is on!

I figure that if I CAN do it, how cool would that be?? And if not, then it was fun trying:-)

Btw- my motivation for this is multi-faceted. I'm kinda pissed at myself for letting my workouts go for so long, Jake keeps making my arms wobble and laughing, and, I'm a tad bit obsessive and need something new to focus on.

Just thought I'd let you know what was on my mind.
