Making_A_Change’s BodyBlog

Fitness can indeed be a sickness. Today, my intention was to take the day off. But since the little one wanted ‘to go to the gym’ to jump, I ended up putting in about 45 minutes of back and biceps. What is it about that place that keeps me going back for more? That keeps me beating up my body day after day. One morning I woke up and said, aloud, why do I do this to myself?  My husband just turned over and said–you have free will. I don’t know if he was being a smarty pants or just saying that I could just stay in the bed–probably a bit of both.

 I am curling with 25 pound dumbells now, so that feels really good. And on a good day I cant do shoulder presses, too. My right shoulder has been a bit tight lately. I try to keep it loose with stretches. Billy was there and asked if I was trying to get in some last minute workouts before my trip. Are you kidding? My gym has a fitness center that I will be in most days–at least 4 of the 5, for sure. It’s not because working out is a chore, but becuase I need it. The last couple of mornings have been difficult and I have opted for evening workouts, but not going is not an option, anymore. Unfortunatley, my period will start while I am away. The positive, though, is that at least I won’t be bloated. I swear, as I get smaller the bloating has become more apparent and in some cases quite uncomfortable. I now hold 5-6 pounds of water versus 3-4 pounds. I could actually feel it while running. And it feels like something is ‘pushing’ against my abs.

I gave the SP250 a rest after a near vomiting episode and I am thinking about trying it, again. I had to be the amount that I drank–a full scoop. I’ll stick to the 1/2 scoop, that seemed to work well.
