That which does not kill me ...

... will only make me stronger. My husband claims the Klingons were the ones who came up with that expression, but I suspect they borrowed it. :)

Went to the gym last night and this morning I'm feeling sore again. I think I'll slowly work my way up to going every day. My plan last night was to do the circuit twice, but as I was coming up to the 1.5 mark, I found myself getting dizzy on the cardio boards so I called it a day. I'm feeling pretty fatigued, muscle-wise, but it's for a good cause. And, providing the gym doesn't kill me, it will literally make me stronger. :)

I was getting a little frustrated with my weight loss efforts of late. The scale hadn't budged in ten days. Intellectually, I knew that it was because my body was just adjusting to my gym membership, and my friend Sharon assured me of same. But emotionally, I was starting to get pretty cranky. It's nice that I can tell my clothes are getting looser, and it's nice that I can look down past my chest and not see my tummy protruding well past it. But I want numbers, dammit!!!

This morning, Frank delivered. I have broken the 40-lbs-off mark, which is more than I've ever lost before. It's not the lowest I've reached for weight loss, because I had a higher starting point this time, but that, too, is just around the corner.
