I’m back at my “real” gym! :)
It has been 8 weeks since my surgery and time to get back in the gym. I have gone to my fitness classes twice a week for the last 2 weeks to try my foot out and just generally get back in the groove of exercising. Today was my first day back at my "real" gym that is a 20 mile drive one-way for me to get to. It is so worth the drive time and gas money!
It was crowded as it was late in the afternoon so the gym was full of college and high school aged guys. That lead to having to wait for the bench or barbells for my turn. I got spoiled by going during the day when the place is almost empty. Still not a lot of women lifting weights that I’ve seen but I don’t mind hanging with the guys!
It was a drag to see myself in the full length mirrors though. I’ve been literally sitting for several weeks, waiting for my foot to heal, so a few pounds creeped back on. It’s not horrible, just 5 pounds but I worked so hard all last year to lose those darn 30 pounds and I don’t want my fat to hang around very long. I feel better knowing I’m back on track to losing fat and gaining muscle!
