I Got Hit By a Train and Survived
At least that’s how I feel. My body is in so much pain it’s not even funny. Everything aches. Each step I take is agonizing. But you know something? I love it. It shows me that my workouts were hard and are affecting my body. Today’s workout was especially taxing. I was stiff and sore throughout the entire session. I wish I had a tub that I can soak my body in like the professional athletes on television.
The simple act of walking on the treadmill was grueling. I felt so slow and nonathletic today. I could barely jog so what I did was walk for 30 minutes and jog a few minutes in between. It was rough. Before that I lifted some weights and even the lightest of weights felt heavy. I mean, I am a pretty strong guy and know my limits, but I was lifting some really light weights and it felt like I was lifting thousands of pounds.
I think that my body was shocked today. Why? Because I essentially took too many days off to heal my ankle. Well, maybe I didn’t take enough days off. I don’t know. But now my whole body hurts instead of just my ankle and knee. I have been trying to take it a little easy so that I don’t adversely hurt myself, but I have been desiring a workout so I had to do it. Especially since I have a competition to win next week.
I know I need to take this journey as a life long one, but I need to see some results within a month so that I can keep my morale up. Working out and eating right makes me feel good, but at the end of the day I need to see some physical changes.
The best advise is never exaggerate, it is unproductive. Try to improve gradually. I do work-outs to and I often switch it with Yoga
Thanks for the advice. I havent tried yoga ever.
Hi, I found your blog through a link and just wanted to encourage you. It is always a great feeling to actually “feel” your muscles hurting from being worn down in a workout.
Whether one is aiming at gaining weight or losing it, the key is determination and discipline. Go for it man!
Thanks for stopping by and for the encouragement. It is much appreciated.
An ex girlfriend of mine was hit by a train, unfortunately she was not so lucky
Ouch, my condolences go out to you and her family. Thank you for stopping by.
Incredible picture for your metaphor of how you feel. I know how you feel, sometimes after a workout I’m completely blasted too. It looks like you’re on a great track, just remember not to push it TOO hard and get injured… then you’ll be out of the game for a while.
Yep. I learned that the hard way. I have been always a chronic overdoer of things. Maybe its my OCD. I dunno.
Excellent headline! Keep up the good work. And the exercise will stop hurting if you keep on doing it.
Thanks. Thats the hard part, keeping on with the doing it part.
You keep at it Israel. This blog is great, so you’ve got to keep losing weight and keep it going.
Thanks Catherine. I definitely will keep at it.
ask your wife to massage your body in the evenings with special oils and lotions to help with the pain
HMmmmm. Sounds good. I will.
Nice post… by the way can you put the source of that pic?
I need to find it.
