Gym Rat, Part 327

Just a shorty note today ... it was an uneventful day overall.  My BigBox store fed the employees sub sandwiches with chips and soda to celebrate being accident free for 60 days.  Accidents are a huge cost on a store's bottom line, so every big milestone we are appreciated for working safe.   It's a nice gesture, IMO.

I have committed myself to going to the gym again.  Yes, AGAIN.  I think I've "started over"  326 times already!  Today was day #2, and it felt really good.  I zipped out two miles on the elliptical, then some resistance training.  It's funny, I assumed that after being "'out of my game" for a while, I would use less weight, be slower on the elliptical, but there must be some kind of muscle memory.  I'm happy for that!  Being sore is no fun!


The hard part for me?  Using time at the gym takes away time from other creative things, like my photography.  It's a balance.  But when weather is cooler again, I'll be able to combine hikes with pix and get exercise with my creative side .... can't wait for cooler temps!

My lil Sadie is being a pest tonight... she's whining around like she's hungry -- but doesn't want to eat her own "real food"  lol  silly dog!
