Whimper

Okay, you know I've been complaining about the allergies and how they stopped my exercise program cold. Well, the allergies, I think, have finally, FINALLY eased off.

Which means it is time to kick the exercise program back into gear.

I've been very cautious about resuming, but today I sat myself down and gave myself a firm talking-to. I don't want to become a complete kludge; it is hard enough to feel okay about my body as it is. Time to get back to work, Peg. No excuses.

So I pulled out an often used FIRM DVD, Body Sculpt. I'm not a complete idiot. I took it slow, and I didn't attempt to do anything like what I used to do; in fact, I did quite a bit of it (like the section stepping on the tall box) without using any weights at all.

It still absolutely kicked my ass. And it's over 90 degrees in my office. I'm dripping with sweat, and my muscles are burning.

I used to be able to do this DVD. Then I quit karate and got laid low by allergies. And now, a mere six months later, I am totally decrepid. *Cries*

Still (looking hard at the holy tree), you did the damn thing, Peg. Yes, you did.

You go, girl. Sorta.

*Slithers off to dissolve in the shower.*

It will come back faster. (I had to quit exercising my show when I had to go full time at school. four months I missed . . . but when I started back, it took about two weeks to be on top of it, whereas when I first began it, it took more like four months to get through without skimping or major soreness.)
