Tomorrow it will be 6 weeks since my surgery and I have gotten the go-ahead to go back to the gym. A few weeks ago I was feeling very anxious to go back. Now I'm thinking, "Really? Is that what I want?" I know I miss working out so much because I began to rely on it for my daily dose of endorphins and socialization. Now I know that if I start again, I will only be able to go for about 3 weeks and then we're moving anyway. I'm not going to want to drive 30 min. to my favorite gym. I'll have to buy a new membership somewhere else anyway. It's just that I'm remembering how hard it was last year when I started going every day. I was the lame-o of all the classes. I had just barely gotten myself to the point where I wasn't completely embarrassed to be me. Now, over the past 6 weeks, my body has atrophied once again. All the muscles I was starting to build have turned back into the fat I know and love so well. Doing 30 sets of stairs sounds like a very daunting task. Woe is me.Monday, June 16, 2008
6 Weeks Away Can Make Me Say, "Hmmm... Do I really Want to Go Back?"

But, if you work out now at the gym you are at, that gives you 3 weeks to get better. and then by the time you move and pick a new gym you won't feel dumb there because you worked up to it at your other gym.
Yes, woe is you! You are so cute, the only one who sees any fat is yourself! So go!!!
just go! you will thank yourself latter. "what you will do tomorow quickly becomes never."
