I haven't hurt this bad for a long time. My body is not on the same page as me when it comes to working out, and it's fighting back with a vengeance. My chest hurts, my arms hurt, my neck hurts, my back hurts, and tomorrow when I go to do squats, I'm sure my legs will hurt. I've been working out for most of my adult life, and I was prepared for the fact that when you don't work out for a while, the first week back at the gym is usually uncomfortable, but this is full blown, just been in a car accident kind of pain.
It's also taking a lot more out of me then I can remember being normal. I guess my body just doesn't have the stamina it used to, and I find that I've got the energy for the workout, but then I lie around all day afterwards like a lump. There is supposed to be a neat little side effect of exercise that increases your energy, the more you work out. That's why the person you know that runs marathons always seems to have the energy to run a marathon at any given minute of the day. Well, I have the feeling that my body has forgotten how to do that. So, I'm in a ton of pain, I'm tired, and I'm going back for more. I seem to remember chemotherapy being easier than this.
That's it for today, it actually hurts to type if you can believe that. Wish me luck for tomorrow.
