Today, I began circuit weight training. Pretty much, the circuit is a series of machines that look like holdovers from the Inquisition. Somehow, you manage to twist yourself into the thing so that you can perform repititions that will help tone different muscle groups. There is a series of about 25 where I go work out. I got to 18. I did a series of 15 reps per machine at 100 pound limit. I hadn't done this in a while so it took a bit of getting used to again. I had done my walk earlier in the day which was a stroke of genius for me. Had I done both the walk and circuit it may very well have spelled my demise or insanity. I got through 18 at which point my body said, "no more for right now please." Maybe next time I'll get to nineteen. Perhaps I'll start out with a smaller weight. Either way, I do feel sore in places that I'm not sure were meant to be. I'll recover. Somehow. I always do.
Thank God for paying attention to my body. I felt like wet noodle for a while. Now, I just feel tired and ready for bed. Tomorrow is my weekly weigh in day. I'm nervous. Are you? Remember, October 30 is just over two months away.
