So, I haven't really written about it, because it's like, the uber-cliche', but since it's the start of the new year/quarter, this week I went back to the gym with new resolve. I have already gone twice this week, and I haven't done that since...July. So, so far so good.
Except for it's totally kicking my ass. Which I guess should be expected. I am doing my standard 30 minutes elliptical trainer, and then 10 laps in the pool. On the ET I do alternating 3 minute intervals of forwards and backwards, just to use different muscles and keep me from getting too bored. And man, the backwards just about kills me. And the part that complains the most is my hip joints. My knees and my cardio system are okay, but my hips are taxed. Weird.
But after I leave, I am TIRED. Not mentally tired, I'm not sleepy, but my body kind of feels like goo. Which is sort of beneficial, because it makes sitting through an afternoon of lectures more manageable, and I don't get as antsy and twitchy.
