Weights, Weights and More Weights

Two to three times a week I've been going to lift weights at the Y.

I enjoy doing it!

There are two things that do annoy me.

1. The people that live there. Not really, but it seems like they do. Here I am trying to be healthy, and they just sit on the machines chatting with their friends. They have super nice bodies. Technically they could skip the gym if they wanted. No one would notice.

2. Changing clothes. I swear sometimes after work I just want to go to the Y and work out in my dress clothes. Seriously, it's that much of a pain to change clothing! More to put away, more laundry to do. A few times, when I know my clothes are dirty I'll just show up. I'm sure people are thinking, Why is she wearing those clothes to lift weights? I'm just lucky enough to be there. So what if I don't have on my dress down fashionable Nike outfit on?

By the way I feel the burn. That's not on the list of things that annoy me. It's just a fact. My body aches afterwards.

Sore

I did the rowing machine; then lifted weights yesterday at the Y. This morning I woke up and getting dressed was a chore. My muscles are sore. It would be great if I could get in on a normal schedule. At least I know what I'm doing is in effect.

I've been lifting arm weights in my office as well.

My arms are not perfect! Some shirts that were too tight before are able to fit. Woo hoo!

Skip the Gym?

I'm not skipping the gym. We just got a membership two months ago. I don't want to skip it; it's fun! We actually got trained in the weight room last night. I'm excited to start in that room. So far we've mostly been into swimming.

I did want to let you in on something cool though: Acacia has weekly exercises you can do at home on their site! That is so cool! They also sell clothing, so if you need some comfy clothes to do those exercises in, well you get the point.
