Did we work out today?!

Hey everyone. Since Ruth Ann is away, hopefully having a wonderful time, I thought I'd post to check in on all of us. I really did not want to get up this AM and workout. The entire time I was working out I wanted to just go back to bed. I didn't so I guess that is good. I did get frustrated though. I just feel like I am not improving in my muscle strength. I mean, it still seems so hard to complete my strengthening exercises and I haven't even added weights yet. This morning I felt like I had lead in my legs. It was awful. I hope to see my exercise therapist next month so I can ask him when I will be able to FEEL stronger. I am losing inches and that is wonderful. All of my size 20 pants are too big. Even the skin tight jeans that I couldn't wear a few weeks ago are loose on me now. But I don't feel stronger and I don't feel like I am improving. It's the same way with my cardio workouts. It's just as hard to complete 2 miles now as it was the first day. At least it seems like it to me. My husband says he can tell that I am doing better because I don't breathe as hard and I am walking faster. Maybe soon I'll begin to feel the results. I can't quit because then I know that I won't improve. I am at least committing to my workouts and getting in 5 days a week so there is at least hope for improvement. Well, I hope you are all moving today. I hope you are seeing and feeling the results of all your hard work! Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Robin

I was going to go for a walk but it started raining so I think I will go to the health club and go swimming instead. Or I just might go and sit in the whirlpool since my back is bothering me. MJ

I didn't and I won't It's just too cold and rainy. I might do a little time on my elliptical but I really don't want to. It's almost like I'm so cold I feel like my insides are hibernating!

Kind of. I went for a 2mi. stroller walk/hike with some friends. It's uphill partway so you do feel it, but I really need to go to the gym! I've slacked off for the last two weeks! just schedule and back problems. lame excuses! Bad me!!! I need to get back on routine! Hope you all had a great day!
