Ok, so I have used the excuse of my ankle injury to stop me from doing all my exercises. Well, today, I stop that trend and go back to work. I cannot run for 2 more weeks, but I damn well better do something else. I wanted to go swimming this morning, so last night I started packing up my gym bag to head out to my local 24 hour fitness, and do some laps in the pool, but I couldn't find my damn shower shoes. I even made a special trip to Fred Meyer to get a pair of swim trunks that fit, and didn't realize that my shower shoes were AWOL. So, that meant swimming is out, as I am not going to walk on that nasty gym floor barefoot.
I ended up heading over to my local fitness center and did a 30 minute stationary bike workout on the Weight Loss setting at level 6 making 10 miles. Then I decided rather than try and push myself too hard starting back, I would do some strength training. I have been wanting to get back into the routine, and try out a new machine. So today I did a light upper body strength training set, working my chest, lats, deltoids, shoulders, triceps and biceps. Nothing too difficult, but enough to matter.
The pity party is over, time to get back to business. I plan on finding my shower shoes after work today, or buying some more. No more excuses!
