Gym

[lisamoe]

I was rushed at the gym last night so I didn't quite have time for a cardio workout.  I just did extra strength work instead and that felt really good.  I thought I had probably lost a lot of ground from missing last week, but I hadn't, so that was great.  I was even able to move the ab workout up a notch.  I have a couple of sore spots today, but it's not too bad.  It was amazing how fast I got a mood lift after working out.  Leaving the gym, I felt perkier than I had in days.    I took a good long look at myself in the full length mirror there on the way out and I'm very pleased with how my legs are shaping up.  They look more muscular than fat almost!  My arms are better than they were, but still have a way to go.  My abs don't even bear thinking about because that's where I need to lose the most fat, but still, my skirts I've been buying in my current size are a tiny bit loose now, so I'll have to keep counting that as progress.

Good for you. Working out makes a huge difference in both psychological and physical health. Be patient and don't cripple yourself by going to hard too quickly. The benefits will come and once you have them, they are actually pretty hard to lose.

YEAH for you. I have been reading your LJ and you motivated me to slowly add some exercise into my day - small things like parking at the farthest point in the parking lot and taking the stairs - but still, small steps are the most important. :) Or at least that's what I am telling myself!

Jealous now. I need to work out. 'Course I need the git up and go to do that. Good news, my clothes are getting bigger...or I'm getting smaller. *sniggle*
