Sweet, sweet pain

Oh yeah baby! I woke up after my first full weight lifting work-out at the
YMCA with some wonderfully aching muscles. No aching joints, just muscles.

Arms, legs, abs, they're all letting me know they're there. Most
importantly to me, I finally feel it in my triceps. Curves claims that one
of their machines does triceps, but I was never able to feel a burn from
it, and if the other women in my family are any indication, that's gonna be
a problem spot for me. Yay! I'm gonna try a yoga/pilates combo class
today. I was originally going to swim today, but I tried on my swim cap
last night and it's way uncomfortable, so I have one more bit of shopping
to do before I can swim. Man. Me, working out 6 days a week. Who woulda
thunk it?

Wow, you're so AMBITIOUS! AND energetic! KUDOS to you for jumping in and
trying
it ALL! You DO have a bathtub, right? I LOVE my hot baths, ESPECIALLY if
I'm
sore from working out.


I dunno if I'm ambitious or energetic at all. I'm only working out an hour
a day, weights 3 days a week, and the other 3 days either swimming, yoga,
pilates, or a cardio funk class I haven't taken yet. So far I've only done
the weight training once, and today's yoga/pilates combo class. I feel sore
in a good way, but in the back of my head I keep thinking that exercise
should be harder, that it's supposed to leave me sweaty, exhausted, and out
of breath. Maybe the cardio funk class will do that. I hope I'm getting
what I should be getting out of the weight training. Like I said, I feel
sore, and I'm lifting enough so that I'm really having to push myself at
the end of my second set, and the last couple of reps whatever muscle I'm
working is actually shaking. Yet I didn't feel exhausted afterwards, and I
didn't sweat very much at all. So far both the weight lifting and the
yoga/pilates class are challenging, but not nearly as difficult as I
thought they would be.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

The Y sounds so great, how you have been so excited and talking about
it. I looked into it more. The family price a month is really good,
with so many things for all family members. Seriously thinking on
getting a family membership. I am interested too, in the pilates/yoga.
I got to start out easy though, with my health issues. So far been
doing a exercise bike at home. I feel it, in a good way... In the
inner thighs, abdomen. I do this right now just three days a week. I
got to do it easy, or I will end up in pain. Then be bed bound, taking
pain meds, and the whole nine yards.

I havn't worked in quite awhile, because of health problems. I came
across a ad in the paper Sunday. A job opening, for receptionist/clerk
at a Y that is just 5 minutes from home. Its part time, and what I
have been looking for. Put a application in yesterday, crossing my
fingers I may get the position. !

Keep the great work up, you are doing so great!

Best of luck with that Sunny! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
You realize though you'll have absolutely no excuse not to exercise if you
do get the job!

Thanks to both of you for the well wishes. I hope too, to get the job.
If I don't going to still go a looking and find one. I cannot stand to
sit at home any longer. My energy has increased so much.

I am signing up at the Y anyways, regardless if I get that job.
Getting a family package, I think it will be a good thing for the boys
too. I can go to the Y when they are in school. Or a hour or so after
dinner we can all go.
