I went to the gym today!
I don't even remember how long it had been, but it had been a very long time--months and months and months. I had begun calling myself a "silent investor" in the gym.
So I first got out today mid afternoon, taking out some trash and recycling. It was beautiful out. Did some more hauling and then decided I could do it, I could get myself to the gym.
I had a good time. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow, I know it. But I enjoyed it today. I did a bunch of different things--stretching, 10 walk on treadmill, 25 minutes on the recumbent bicycle, then some circuit weights (quads, shoulders, triceps), and then did some more cardio on the elipticals--about another 15 minutes, ending with some obligatory stretching. That stretching afterward is hard for me to be motivated for. If I get down on the mats, I get too relaxed and want to go to sleep!!
I did weigh myself on the scale in the gym bathroom. But I'm not sure I want to do a start and target weight here, so I'll keep the number to myself. I think the goal for me is to get there and exercise, or do other forms of exercise outdoors.
