That’s how long I’ve been out of the gym, and how many pounds I regained since my last workout. Considering that’s all I regained over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, I’m not really complaining. I’m still down 23 pounds–a feat never before accomplished by moi.
Though I was cringing as I walked into the locker room and approached the scale. But then the hard part was over, and I headed out to the treadmill. Thanks to some traffic backups, I had only 30 minutes to workout. I popped in my Trace Adkins’ Comin On Strong CD–I love starting out my workout with One Hot Mama (my husband’s song for me :::giggle::::).
My joints were aching from being away so long, but I remembered why I like going there, how it’s very motivational for me. And I got my nice little ‘walker’s high’ as a reward for walking 3/4 of a mile. Slow and steady, just fast enough to get my heartrate up, but not too fast that it causes me to limp out of there.
Ahh yes, it’s good to be back.

Good for you! On both counts, actually! You must have behaved a lot over the holidays. I love that song too! I listen to that while I am cleaning house and dancing!

Props!
(LOL no, I’m not really sure what that means, but my friend’s kids keep saying that to me when I do something “cool” in their eyes…)
Going back to the gym after being away is hard. It’s been a verrrry long time since I’ve been in one.

3lbs isn’t a lot to gain during the festive season and you will get that off again in no time.
Like you said you are still 23 down - thats great!
I wish I had the confindence to take myself to the gym, but I am always so worried that everyone will be looking at me so I have never (yes never) been to the gym. Awful huh?
Take Care
