Don’t stop exercising, because if you do it long enough, you’ll like how you look/feel. Then, inevitably you will stop for one reason or another and then you will want to start again. Now exercising is great and all except for when you first start/restart.
I’m in the restart phase right now. I’ve been to the gym twice and started running around my [very dark at 5:45 am] neighborhood (which has no streetlights yet, even though the power company has been paid). The first trip to the gym was uneventful, I did 15 minutes of cardio, followed by some leg stuff. Amazingly enough, I wasn’t sore from that. Now normally when I’m in the restart phase (cuz I am often in this phase), I am sore regardless of how easy or hard I am with the weights. I must’ve gotten too confident in that fact that I wasn’t sore from the first workout because I did chest and back yesterday and now, I am sore as hell. Apparently, I pushed myself a little too hard on the first chest/back workout day.
Argh (click that word!), this sucks. I could barely put on a shirt this morning but every time Aaron sees me, he wants me to pick him up. Instead of being nice to myself, I just pick him up (and put him down about a minute later).
I’m just ranting now. I’m done.
