Well, I joined a gym.
I re-gained a not-totally-insignificant amount of the weight I lost a year and a half ago, and haven’t had any luck with re-losing it based on the old methods. Plus, with the shoulder injury still preventing some if not all of certain activities, I felt like my ability to exercise was pretty limited. Hence, Sarah the slug. Not so good.
My exercise is still limited by my shoulder/rotator cuffs, but at least I’ve expanded my options.
The gym’s not far from my house, on the way home from work, has wight machines that I know and like (and thus aren’t intimidated by), and some good treadmill/stationary bike stuff. No elipticals, but they’re apparently looking into them.
My goal is 2-3 times a week, so we’ll see. Of course, I can’t do any of the arm/shoulder weights for now, not with the physical therapy still limited to less than 5 lbs, but some day!
And I’m really hoping that I’ll commit to this this time around. So far, it’s been a super friendly place, with very nice people, so we’ll see. No kickboxing class (alas, alack) and plenty of yoga (banned for life by the physical therapist, sadly), but all else seems good.
Here’s to getting back to the weight of a year and a half ago!
