Thursday, 2/2: I did not work out today :(

[MissMillie]

And no, it wasn't because the doc said I shouldn't. Quite the opposite. The doc says that I'm expecting too much. He cut into my abdominal muscles, and, of course they're going to need time to heal, and no, it hasn't been so long that it should be all over.

The doc says that I should keep trying, and to remember that some pain is quite normal. He says I'm a smart woman and he trusts me to know how much is too much.

He also thinks it's time I talk to a plastic surgeon about getting rid of the loose skin around my abs (from the substantial weight loss). I don't know if I'm ready for that. Don't get me wrong, it'd be nice to be a size smaller (likely to happen after a tummy tuck). I think I'm just a little tired of all the surgery, and I wonder if each time I go under I'm not asking for trouble. I mean, how many times can I go under w/ no serious problems....?

Anyway, I slept in today. Go figure. I was exhausted and I just didn't have it in me to get out of bed. I think some of my son's depression issues are rubbing off on me. And no, that shouldn't be an excuse. However, I was genuinely exhausted this morning, and thought maybe my body was telling me that it wanted the sleep more than the sweat. I guess I should have packed a bag and opted to go to the gym after work today, but I didn't.

I suppose I could still run at home when I get home from work tonight. I may just do that.

1. I worked my back and biceps and did 35 minutes of cardio.

I've considered the plastic surgery too. I know I'd lose a couple inches off my waist and maybe the false double chin as well. But, I don't have the money right now, so it's moot.

Listen to your body, when it tells you to take a rest. :)

2. You should listen to your body

:hug:

I need to follow that advice. I did a little Pilates today. Still battling my sinus infection-from-hell but I think the drugs are finally starting to work...

3. I didn't either

Overcast and rainy all day. The only thing I did outside was fill up bird feeders on back porch. If rain goes away before bedtime, will maybe go out and do a few dumbbells.

7. My all-or-none personality

almost stopped me from exercising today. I knew I didn't have time for an hour -- then it occurred to me that I DID have time for 45 minutes. Duh!

I had no idea Lost would be so emotional. It's hard to exercise when you're sniffling! :)
