Workout LOA

So, I'm back! From outer space. I just walked in to find myself here w/ that sad look upon my face. I should've not been sick last week, I should've still done something. If I'd have known for just one second, I'd be out for a whole week! OH NOW GO! Go back to the gym. Don't turn around now, you are back on your way!! OK, I'm done signing my strong woman back to the gym version of I'll Survive!

I know you thought I wasn't coming back and that I completely gave up, but I didn't! Here's what happened. Last Sunday morning (had to be at work at 5am) @ 3am, I was woken up by my sore throat. NEVER a good sign! I work Sunday and start to lose my voice due to the razor blades I am swallowing, play softball Sunday night. Monday morning, I go to the DR. I don't have strep - yay! I'm then told to let it work itself out - boo! REALLY? Nothing? That was a waste of time, bought some ass tasting, throat numbing lozenges. I work Monday - have no voice. Work Tuesday - less voice. Work Wednesday - still no voice - less razor blade swallowing, more like small rocks now. No work from Thurs-Sun. So why didn't I do something then? Because I hadn't slept since my throat hurt AND I worked many days in a row (6) and I'm tired. So I decide to give my body a rest - yay! I did have my gym buddy wanting to go a couple of days, but because I was resting, I did things.

So, I went back today! I did an hour of cardio. Nothing spectacular, but a good way to come back. Let me tell you, when your body has been out of sorts for a week or so, the first day back is a killer! I'm amazed I was even able to do what I did without falling over! My gym buddy (Katelyn) was there with me, but I don't know if she could see me suffering!!

- 30min ellipical

- 30min walking on tredmill @ incline

Hopefully next time will be better - my body is slow at recovering. Is that because I am in my LATE TWENTIES?!!

During my resting time I did:

- sleep (Thursday was lots of sleeping)

- softball (Wed, Thurs, Sun)

- whale watch (Fri)

- saw District 9 (Fri)

- went to a wedding reception (Sat)

- Jonas's bday party and softball (Sun)

- I "swam" on Sun @ the party. That is in quotes because I described myself as a ship that was under attack by pirates a.k.a. 6 kids climbing ALL over me! At one point, I asked who was kicking my bottoms off and then my top came undone! (that was a timeout for me, so that I could retie myself - they didn't give me much time to do that - then it was back to being the pirated ship)!

Thank God for softball or I'd be a lump on a log!
