Pecs

Posted at 8:52 pm MST to Exercise

Yesterday morning I lifted weights for the first time in about a month. I didn't intend to be aggressive about it, but by mid-afternoon yesterday I was getting sore.

Yoga this morning stretched out some of the kinks but not all of them. I guess I was more enthusiastic than I realized. I think I will hold off on doing weights again until Friday, to let things recover.

This evening I had my first massage session in 6 weeks.

The bad leg is much better than it was at the beginning of the yearmwhen my hip was out. It is still a little puffy and tender at the ankle but otherwise... it's nice to have a leg instead of a lump.

Marti said that she could feel toned muscle under the fat on the good leg, which is amazing since I have not done much other than sit for months. Maybe tomorrow I will walk for a while on my treadmill after doing my yoga, to remind both legs what their job is. I need to get in training for spending a few hours on my feet when Farmers' Market starts up again in a few weeks.

She also thinks I am less dehydrated than when she worked on me in January. This is encouraging because my weight is down a little: more retained water and less total weight is the right direction for things to be going.
