So I healed up from the procedure, and was watching The Biggest Loser, and was all inspired by Bob Harper and thought "man if he were my trainer I could do this in a snap". So I went to the library and got his motivational CD / inner compass program, and his beginners workout DVD. The next day, I take invigorating hike to warm up the muscles, then I pop in the DVD thinking "yeah, this will be great to start with a beginners workout". IT WAS PURE INSANITY. I was soaked with sweat and for 3 day afterward felt like I was 85 and has sprained hamstrings, and that's after doing everything right. Stretching, staying within my range of motion, and cooling down, etc.... it kinda discouraged me, and truth, I haven't worked out since. Of course in my justifications I say " oh its ok you need time to recuperate after that crazy workout" but what I really need is to get off my butt and get moving again.......This journey is such an emoitonal roller coaser and often I find the ride is giving me whiplash.
