And giving yourself permission to accept that, and then to accept your fear of what may or may not happen, not know the effect of whatever you change, will make the transition easier. And that’s OK! You don’t have to be married to one set of goals. Ahhhhh here we go…goals…change…goals change. I was maintaining with hopes of going into a caloric deficit. Now we know hypertrophy is great for when in a caloric deficit to help preserve your muscle mass, and great for in a caloric surplus to grow that muscle mass. By the time March came, I was so burnt out on doing 40 some sets of, well everything. Actually longer than November, with only the odd 4 weeks of strength programed in. Since November I’ve been doing a ton of hypertrophy stuff. So I decided to embrace something different instead of stress about why something wasn’t working for me anymore. I was burnt out from my programing and putting on weight. I was struggling with my weight cut, I absolutely hated the beginning of 2019. I wasn’t happy with where I thought I wanted to be. I did it as I needed a different mindset. I think the big question with change is why? Why do you or I seek change? If it’s a noun it means the act or instance of making or becoming different.

If it’s a verb it means make or become different. So what is change? Apparently it’s both a verb and a noun. But then again, sometimes it’s not for everyone.

And sometimes we can’t help but to accept it. I’ve undergone a lot of change in my life: moving not only to different cities, but across the country, changing jobs, changing careers, changing schools. I think she was projecting her fear onto me now that I think about it. One person in another lifetime (so it seems) told me once that I was afraid of change. I guess I have always been like that, once I decide to do something, I just plow on ahead and do it. And as I start to write about it….I realize that it’s harder to tell you why than it was actually to do. I mentioned on an earlier Instagram post that I would write a bit about change, and why I have embraced it in my journey. Then I remembered some of the lyrics to this song and thought it would be a good opener to my next blog post. One of my favorite 80s bands and I still blast Kickstart my Heart at the gym! However, I must say that I enjoyed the book way better, but its still a good flick. I just finished watching The Dirt on Netflix about Motley Crue.

Motley crue now it time for change
