That Was... Disappointing

November is my birthday month. I would appreciate it if you would help me celebrate by spreading some light in the world. Join my Have a Heart Campaign team on Kiva, or find a charity that speaks to you and donate.

Good morning, Readers!

Today marked the re-start of my morning workouts.

It was... disappointing.

I originally took the time off from training to give my injured arm some time to rest.  But last week was the last straw.  I was feeling particularly blobbish, and entirely too unhappy with myself, so I decided to start my early morning training sessions again.  My left arm isn't all healed up.  It still hurts.  I promised myself that I wouldn't go too hard, and I'd stop if there was too much pain.  But I couldn't do nothing anymore.

There wasn't too much pain.  A couple of pangs here and there, but nothing major.  Still, I was disappointed with it all.

I have lost so much strength.  Granted, it was my first day back after a few weeks, so I was going easier than before, and I did alright on the things that mattered to me, but I'm still not all that happy with my performance.  I don't feel like I worked.  I don't feel like I improved anything.  I just feel disheartened and sad.  Which, granted, probably has a lot to do with my depression, but still.

I'm not unhappy that I went to the gym.  I will be going again, obviously.  As far as weight training this morning, though, it was pretty much a bust.

Tomorrow is cardio.  For my birthday, I bought myself a weighted skipping rope.  That's what I'll be doing tomorrow; interval skipping for half an hour.  Don't worry.  I won't give myself a heart attack.  I think.

So, for those of you who might be in the same boat as I, and feeling a bit down, days aren't always going to go as well as you might like.  What's important, though, is that you keep showing up.

This has been my PSA.

Now I have to write stuff.

​Ciao!
