I've been working out!

My usual routine in working out is this; I work out one day. The next I hurt so bad I don't work out thinking that I need a day to rest and I will pick it up the day after. In other words, I will work out every other day. Never happens for more than two work outs and more than likely, only one.

I have decided to seriously get in shape. I weigh 30 pounds more than my normal weight (which was way to skinny) but I like to look thin. Right now I look healthy but chunky. I don't want the chunks. I decided I don't care if I lose any weight as long as all the weight on me is muscle. So I have worked out every day this week. 5 days in a row. I hurt everywhere. I try to make excuses not to work out. My husband gets all snotty and tells me that I should only work out every other day. I tell him that it doesn't work for me and besides if movie stars can work out 5 or 6 hours a day to get buff for a role, I can work out an hour a day for myself.

After my work out yesterday and today, I pulled weeds. I thought I was going to break in half. Bending down the proper way was out of the question. My thighs are killing me. But I did manage to hold in my gut and tighten all my muscles while I was pulling the weeds. Yesterday I was able to pick all the weeds up and put them in the trash. Today, they are still in two piles in the back yard as I was unable to bend anymore.

Does this mean I won't work out tomorrow? Hell no, I am suppose to go on a six mile hike but I may pass that up for cleaning the house and working out on that Total Gym, that Steve swore would just gather dust and hold clothes. BTW when it is holding clothes, their not mine, their his. I love my Total Gym. I plan on turning 43 next month in the best shape I have ever been in. My gift to me. Just cause I am getting older doesn't mean I have to give up having a nice bod!!!!!
