Yesterday I attempted to train and I was able to get through half of my workout – moving in the right direction. Many people have pets, and as a pet owner you really come to feel that your pet is not just an animal, but rather, they are a part of your family. And for anyone, it is hard to lose a family member.
After 17 years of being in a routine, it’s hard to just fall into a new one. For example, I don’t come home at lunch or after work anymore to take Waggs out. That part of my routine has changed and will take some getting used to.
I’m going to start to turn my training around. As I mentioned in the Tribute, Waggs loved to lick my sweat after workouts (ewww, haha), so to get myself moving again and focused on preparing for the Canadian Indoor Rowing Championships in February, I’m going to try and sweat as much as I can in every workoutJ.
This somewhat came into effect today as I got my heart rate up doing weights with my teammate Kathleen. She kept me smiling and laughing the whole time with her energy, it was really nice – thanks Kathleen! We did a heavy weights circuit, and since I haven’t done weights since Saturday, my muscles were struggling, ha! Usually the next day after doing a new set of weights, people feel like their muscles are HUGE (you feel like you look like the Hulk!). I am already feeling this, and it’s only been an hour after the workout – I feel like my little biceps are POPPING out (I wish)J. Often people feel this with their quads after doing squats…walking down stairs can be brutal, not sure whether going up the stairs is easier or harder than going down (you know what I’m talking about).
In any event, this feeling means I’m still in the game and I am on the road to getting back into my training routine.
Taking it a day at a timeJ
