But I only have myself to blame for it.
David and I started going back to the gym yesterday after our little hiatus. I stayed at the same weight on almost everything but didn't do quite the number of reps I usually do, but I knew I'd still be hurting today and was, so I took some ibuprofen when I got out of bed. It and the hot bath I took helped loosen up the old joints and soothe my aching muscles a little. Not staying stationary for too long also helps. Today's laundry day so that's helping to keeping me moving.
I was shocked yesterday when I put on the capris I took with me to work out in. They were always tight when I would wear them, but yesterday they fit perfectly. I was really happy. It meant that not only did I not gain any weight over my hiatus, I lost some. Yea for me!
Like always, it felt good to get in a workout. My problem is that I just hate getting dressed and having to go. I like going there better than staying home and exercising though. For one they have more equipment than I can ever hope to fit in here, but one of these days, I will have my workout room out in one of the buildings. In the meantime though, I'm at least getting dressed and getting out of the house.
If it weren't for that and taking David to work, I'd probably become a hermit or a crazy dog lady. Speaking of which, I saw a tee shirt in a catalog I'm tempted to get. On the front it says, "I'm the crazy aunt everyone warned you about." I'm really tempted to get it and wear it the next time we go back to Pittsburgh to visit. ☺
