With all of my various houseplants, it's almost like workout out in the jungle. |
I did something exciting and frightening last night. I finally set up my weight bench. I have no excuse to avoid the heavy lifting that I have long loved. Weight lifting has been my thing since middle school. I like being strong. I like being able to lift heavy objects. Three years ago I could leg press three times my body weight. Now that my legs are weaker and my mass is greater the thought of that is a bit scary, but I'm taking baby steps.
This morning I had a great workout. Did the numbers stack up to my past? No. Not even close. But that doesn't matter. I put in the work. It felt good. I'll go back tomorrow.
I'm worth it.
I guess my take home message is find what you love to honor your body and do it. I can't wait for the
DOMS.
