An Unexpected Workout
Yesterday was a planned off day. I had planned a walk with my wife after work before it got dark, but that was put on hold until after supper since her sister and little boy dropped by for a short visit. When we got the kitchen cleared away after supper, I was ready for the walk, but my wife didn’t want to go since it was a bitterly cold and windy evening. Couldn’t blame her really, but to my surprise I was looking forward to the walk since it was the only exercise I had planned for the day.
I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting around the house all evening and not getting any exercise! So I made up my mind to go to the gym for some cardio and lite lifting. I just did some treadmill, ab work and bicep exercises, and I was home again after an hour. I felt great after that workout! I know it was good for my body but I think it was even better for my mental health and helping me maintain my positive attitude and motivation.
Back to my planned workout tonight, I’m doing deadlifts, leg press and some back work. Have a great day everyone!

I know the feeling when you just need to know you’ve done SOMETHING. I actually have it right now, and gym is closed for the night and it’s stormy outside! Bummer!
