I went back to the gym today. I meant to go back a few months ago, but then I had a stuck episode and vomited all over the parking lot and in my car. It was awkward.
So I guess what really happened was, I finally got up the nerve to show my face at the gym again. And while I was there, I worked out with a trainer. He was good, tough without being ridiculous. I didn't cry. I can feel the muscle fatigue and I know tomorrow I'll be sore and Wednesday I'll be in pain and then I'll be OK again on Thursday. Which is good because I have another appointment then.
In unrelated news, Oldest Child starts second grade tomorrow. Cannot believe summer is already over.
Also, we have a family I've never met and know virtually nothing about arriving tomorrow to live with us for a week. The husband is a colleague of my husband, and they're moving here from San Francisco with two very young children. Hubs invited them to stay with us while their furniture is en route. Wish me luck.
Sending lots of luck your way and congrats on getting back to the gym.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! That soreness after the gym means it worked... right?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused...your husband is still ALIVE after offering this?
ReplyDeleteYay for you exercising. I need to get back on the wagon. Soooooo bad! Maybe it's a balance of the universe...maybe when YOU'RE working out, I can't work out, and vice versa. Think about it.
Yipee!! I not the only one to get back to a gym this week:) I glad someone else says it is good to be a little sore. Good luck with the house guests.
ReplyDeleteNice job getting back to the gym.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes well with your visitors! That's a lot of people!
Kristin.. I think the toughest part is getting started and getting into a routine (workouts, gym, exercise..) but once you conquer the first few.. you do get into a rhythm and yes.. there is that initial soreness.. but it will pay off..
ReplyDeleteI so much miss that first day of school send off.. we had the mandatory pictures by the front door with back pack in hand (my kids hated it) but they laugh now when they look back on it..
GL with your house guests.. um yeah I'm with GIlly.. "sure we have plenty of towels, plenty of blankets.. plenty of everything"
Holy crap-- I would kill. my. husband-- I am not good with house guests. Though we are having the inlaws stay overnight for the Jewish holiday coming up. It's just 24 hours, though.
ReplyDeleteGood luck band sista.
I'm with others in that I would be planning my husband's funeral right now if he did that. Congrats on hitting the gym! I'm going back this week as well. Pain is good...pain is good.
ReplyDeleteWow...you are beyond understanding pop tart...house guests that are neither friends or relatives...YIKES! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the gym...I'm proud.
Dude...
ReplyDeletePecker.
Chopped.
Off.
And used as a ladle for the chocolate cake I'd be making to ease my anxiety about strangers in my house. No freaking way. You are one helluva woman!
