I walked to work and back yesterday, my last day teaching (supervising) the choir class at the high school. Had a great chat with one of the ninth graders in the Womens Chorus. She challenged me to do something I've been saying I would do for a decade: join the ACLU. She has a point there. I also walked out on my errand to try and find a new pair of exercise pants at Target. Unfortunately that attempt was made of fail. BUT! but I did get a new package of cotton underwear! that fits! and doesn't have holes! and they are all blues and purples~!
such is my life that I am excited to spend <$10 for 6 pairs of cotton underwear. Heh. Feels a bit like pampering myself. And so, a fair bit of walking yesterday. Did not get to gym.
Going to gym today after shower & breakfast, flip laundry, start dishwasher, & library drop off. I'm really looking forward to it. Planning to ask the desk for one of the trainers to do an orientation on the machines so I can be sure I'm using correct form and to have an idea of the kind of challenge they think I can go with. I am probably not challenging myself *enough* to really build muscle mass, but I am challenging myself enough to warm up the muscles and get them and my joints to start to be flexible again. So I'll get some professional advice. =) Planning to spend about 2 hours there total, though I think I'm missing the window to try a class (today), I think it will be just right after two weeks off.
Confirmation with the doctor that my weird little bumps are NOT herpes sores, blessed be.
She expressed reluctance to biopsy the bumps remaining, because taking a slice is likely to cause them to flare... well, shit, they're spreading pretty fast as it is. If we don't get a confirmation that this is molluscum, then I can't get them frozen off, I'd guess. And if we can't get them frozen off, they will just keep spreading and honestly? they are interfering with my sex life. So Imma send her an email requesting that we do the biopsy. I clipped all my hair off in preparation of hopefully getting a chance to do that soon.
I want to get to swimming. I really like swimming. So I am totally taking care of this detail both so I can swim and so I can get back to (ahem) other things as well. Heh.
This much said, time for my shower so I can go get brunch so I can finish my other errands and get my butt to the gym around 1 pm. Ought to ping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Giiiiiirrrrrl....
I'm gonna have to tease you a little bit about "warming up" your muscles while lifting weights. You are strong! Lift some heavy shit! Lift to failure! Find your edges! ;)

I'm strong enough, I guess, but don't enjoy the "I worked out so hard that I can't move now" experience... goal at the moment is work enough to feel it and to make progress and do some NEW things. Like Zumba. Go back to old things I like, yoga, ballroom, mild martial arts. Am trying to figure out where I am after the knee surgery and 4+ years of no formal workouts....
By all means, encourage me to push myself, invite me to cool stuff you're doing... but I know me, and if I make myself hurt, I'll just delay how soon I get back to it. I have to make it fun, andbear in mind the fun I PLAN to have with ballroom, hiking, and rock climbing once I really am stronger.
=D
