People never cease to amaze me! It’s kills me that there are so many over weight kids. Many of you know that I work in Physical Therapy, I have several patients right now that are kids whos injuries are the results of inactivity and being Obese.

These kids are so lazy and unmotivated it’s crazy. One in particular comes in with his mom who is such an enabler. She says she can’t get him to do his home exercises. When asked why he states that they don’t feel good or he didn’t feel like it.  I have to force him to do them while he is in the clinic, the whole time he is back talking his mom. To top it off at the end of the session he tells his mom he is thirsty and wants a pop. She says if you promise to do your exercises next time, i’ll get you one and maybe some ice cream. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!   This kid is 13 and has a 45 inch waist!

Ok now that I am done venting, my workouts are going great. May new workout partners continue to motivate me. I have had some of the most intense workouts lately then I have had in a long time. Speaking of that, my chest and arms are so tired and sore, I’m having a hard time writting this.

So it has been a while since I have felt that great soreness that you get after a grueling workout. I am definitely feeling it today!

I started working out with a co-worker at my new job this week. Almost forgot how much better your workout can be with a partner there pushing you to do more. that was the most intense workout that I have had in a long time.

The Physical Therapy Clinic I work at has a full fitness center and pool. It’s so nice to have everything there, no driving and wasting time. Just change in the locker room and I’m ready to kick butt.

Loving this new job and setup so far!
