Monday, January 24, 2011-Day 21

there is nothing eventful about this day other than I finally got to go back to the gym. That may mean nothing to someone else but for me it's a big deal. You cant tell by looking at me that I'm a gym rat, but trust me I am. I love working out especially lifting. Being sick and tired from the chemo has left me unable to workout during my first week back to work but I'm determined to workout this week even if it's just for 15-20 mins. I am going to atleast do a brisk walk on the treadmill. I had gone on Friday to say hi to everyone and they were all so happy to see me so I'm happy that I was missed and that they are waiting for me to get back into the swing of things. I do a brisk walk on the treadmill for 20 mins and afterwards I'm feeling a mixture of tired and energized. It is the feeling I've missed since this whole ordeal began. I cant imagine not working out. This is the feeling I love. Until you workout all the time you dont understand this exhilriation. I want to do more time but I know I need to go slow and not push myself. So 2o minutes is fine. I go home that evening and after a small meal of noodles and chicken I collapse in an exhausted sleep. The workout was worth it just so I can have a good solid sleep.
