OMG - Just When I Thought I Was In Shape!



 (( I am actually on Day Four - just decided to start this blog ))

Day One - Chest | Back | Ab Ripper

Just when you think that you are in SHAPE, here comes this dude messing it all up.  I've been lifting weights most of my life, but I am NOT a cardio type person.  I just got a treadmill for Christmas (well actually December 10th).  I was doing so well for about 12 days and then ....

.... I get sick.  I'm down and out for Christmas Day.  I was sick till almost New Years.  Ain't that a ....
Okay, enough of that.  Being the hard-headed person I am, I decide to use 25 # weights, while doing
chest and back.  WRONGGGG!  Instead of pressing PAUSE and going to get the other LIGHTER
weights ... I continue and wonder why I can't lift my arms now.

I found out how fast you can lose your strength, when you don't LIFT on a consistant basis.  I had to
modify the PULLUPS and PUSHUPS ... but overall I got a great workout.  I have to be careful, since I was in a major accident years ago.  It left me with 52 stitches in the back of my head; therefore, because of the severe WHIPLASH, I am unable to hold my arms over my head for an extended period of time.

How about I didn't read the instructions, (yes I'm good at that) and forgot to the AB RIPPER.  Yes, I
went back to do it ... and I became a SAILOR in the process (every curse word imaginable).

Where's my heating pad, Bengay and one of my THREE massagers.   It's time to call up my chiropractor and masseuse.  OMG!
