Well, good morning! Hope you all had a great day yesterday!
Mine was marvellous :) Diet on point, exercise on point and one of my best friends called me GORGEOUS before 8am. That is the way to start the day!
Enough about yesterday ... let's talk about today's session.
Shoulders and Arms was on the menu and I am not going to lie, I was concerned. I hate talking about my aliments but this blog is an honest one and I don't hide from them here. I have had a serious flare-up in my shoulder for the past six months. YES, 6 months. I have had 2 shots of Cortizone in the site and still in a lot of pain. It even hurts to get my coffee from the Tim Horton's drive through in the morning, sometimes requiring both arms! (Yup, I am a Canadian who has her Tim's daily)
So, naturally, I modified today ... using much lighter weights than I am used to. I did do every rep for every exercise so I am pleased but there were moments that I considered stopping. I pushed through and was dripping wet again today. The humidity and the pain made for a great calorie burn :P Actually the pain was intense at the beginning but as I worked the joint it felt better and now it is feeling good. No pain meds used :)
I should also mention that I did not have difficulty waking up this morning... actually woke up just before the alarm but my body still tried to convince me to stay put. I know that the first month is the hardest. I will have to coach myself out of bed every damn day ... and you can bet that I am going to!
On another note, I want to talk about my home gym. When my husband and I built our house six years ago we decided that we would build a space for a gym in our home. We invested a lot of money but it was well worth it because I use it, a lot! The problem with the gym is that it gets so warm because it is in our living space and we did not create a different zone in that room (for the radiant heat). So, it has been discussed for the past two years (more like me trying to convince my husband) that we should redo our garage and make that space into our gym. Well, after two years of talking the carpenter arrived this morning to get started! I will take pics when it is done ... I am SO EXCITED about it. There will be more space and cooler space... yeah me!
Ok, that is all for today... have yourselves a great day and make it count!
