Gym is Open (Morning! It's Monday) 11/3

My plan was to go to the gym this morning, but Xcel Energy decided to override that due to a power outage.  Lucky for me I have a sister who is a light sleeper, or I'd still be home snoring and not at work.

I threw my gym bag in the car, so if my sister isn't working late tonight, I'll go after work.  I went on Saturday and did fat burning treadmill along with strength training and realize I do miss it.  I just need to get back into the habit of exercising every day.

What did you do to move your body today?

After talking with my Doc's office by e-mail, i decided I needed to change things up.  Even though I had doubled the intensity of my elliptical in the last month, I guess my body has gotten too used to that workout.

This morning was 20 minutes on the rowing machine and 30 minutes of upper body strength training.  I can feel it now...soreness setting in for tomorrow.  Woe is me!

I did 15 mins on the elliptical and then I did 15 mins of 150 lb leg presses.... oh my aching thighs.... LOL

I was going to go to my 5:30 am spinning class but didn't get up, so then I decided to go to the 10:30 one and got there too early, so I started walking and then decided I would do weights.

I sometimes give myself a whiplash with the way I change my mind

I am checking back into the gym!  YAY! After 6 longs months of medically being able to not exercise, I was back at the pool yesterday and taught my first aquafit class in more than 6 months.  I worked myself very hard - maybe and was exhausted at the end of the night but it felt so good to push hard!  I had been to the pool about 5 times before that to swim some laps and get the feel of the water again, and had been to the gym a few times to begin working on cardio.  I'm a LONG way off from where I was, but it felt so good to be working out.

I've been cleared by the plastic surgeon as of 3 weeks ago to begin getting back to normal.  I had some issues the first week of being released, so I was reluctant to say that things are good now, but at this point - they really seem fine.  YAY!
