But I'm using that anger to my advantage....
I'm dealing with all my old symptoms of pain, fatigue, short term memory issues, but I'm still moving, just not as fast as I would like.
I'm walking at least 20 mins, every other day, but I've also added weight training, floor exercises, and some yoga moves to my routine.
It's interesting but I seem to burn more calories walking and weight training then I did with just alternate running.
Because of my stupid pain, I finally conceded and asked my mother to be my personal trainer, but to my happy surprise, she is really good at it!
She knows what she's doing from both a personal and a professional aspect, she's good at inspiring me to push myself, and yet she knows when to stop me from hurting myself. The only chink in this perfect scenario is that she either makes me laugh, or I end up making her laugh. Especially when shes trying to get me into a embarrassing yoga pose.
It reminds me of when I was being trained at Baily's by my personal trainer Konstantin.
Every training session was intense, but we always had moments of hysterical laughter that made all the exhaustion worth it at the end of the day.
One of my favorite moments was when he had me working with the medicine ball and this guy came into the room wearing very tiny shorts. Not an unusual sight in a gym, especially one downtown, so we didn't think anything of it, that was until he decided to do floor stretches and his left Nut popped out of his shorts.
Both my trainer and I saw it at the same time, and we died...
The guy was totally oblivious both to the fact that he was getting a full frontal breeze and that we had seen it. After the guy left the room and we had composed ourselves enough to get back to work, the rest of the training session became one long joke... "don't let that ball slip", "you want the blue ball?", "Stop playing with your balls", "you don't want to let your ball hang too low" and after every ball joke we would giggle like stupid little girls...lol...but it was the best session I ever had...
So if what the doctors say are true, and laughter is good for your body, strengthens your muscles, and helps you burns extra calories, then I'm on my way to excellent health...lol
