Therapy

Day 117

After work today I went to the hotel gym. It's an impressive set up for a hotel. It was almost like being at the YMCA... sorry... off point.

Anyway, if you read yesterday's post, you can see how a little exercise therapy might do me some good. I didn't have anywhere to be so I decided to do cardio and the leg workout I missed yesterday due to my travel woes.

It must be said that I haven't exercised since early last week. I was afraid that I'd lost my mojo on the treadmill. Not the case at all. It wasn't a personal best by any means, but it was a solid effort. 5.5 mph was my top speed tonight and I didn't not need a bucket.

I moved on to legs and quickly realized that one of the things I miss about belonging to a gym is the equipment. It's so much easier to work legs on machines than at home. Well... not easier... but less complicated. I left everything that I had in that room. At the end, I realized that the headache I've had off and on for a week was gone.

I've said it before and it's worth mentioning again... why in the hell do we allow ourselves to backslide when we know that exercise and eating well makes us feel good? It's crazy I know. But, I'm also human. So, this probably won't be the last time I bring it up. :)

I may not be able to walk tomorrow. But, at the moment, I feel great and I'm going to sleep like the dead tonight.

Cheers!
