Yeah! I am working out, now! I go to the gym with a plan. It is awesome, and it makes me actually want to go to the gym since I have a purpose.
I have worked out Monday and today. Today, I had a limited amount of time. So, I only did my physical therapy exercises. I think I might get up in the morning and do the personal trainer exercises. I have been noticing since starting to stretch and roll my hip flexors and quadriceps that my hamstring has begun to stop doing all the work it was doing. I can actually feel my glutes getting some action. Whew! That’s another success!
My wonderful husband has graciously offered to get me up in the morning. I hate mornings, which means that this will not be an easy job for him 😉 We shall see how it goes. Morning workouts would be more reliable since evening workouts happen after school, and a hard day at school usually does not end with a barbell in my hand.

I’ve been going to the gym in the morning now, before work. Now that I take Levothroid, I need to wait 30-60 minutes in the morning before I eat, so going to the gym gives me just enough fasting time before I can take my other pills and have breakfast. The downside, of course, is waking up at 6am.

well, ending a school day with a barbell in hand might be the last school day you have for a while. =)

I am finding the 6am thing to be getting a little more tolerable – are you getting used to it? I can’t wait to see how your workout results improve with your Levothroid!

I miss going to the gym in the morning…
Unfortuantely, now that I have a 7 am shift. There’s no way in hell I’m getting up THAT early.

Wow! I hear ya on that one! Is there a gym even open THAT early?
