It's my own fault. My butt hurts. It's not from using the muscles, it's from sitting on the exercise bike seat. Bicycle Butt, a horrific gym syndrome. All the tissue between my skin and the sacrum are tender. I'll have to take some Tylenol before heading the the gym this evening.
Other than the pain, it was another good workout. My goals are in place and I'm going to reach them. I made it an hour on the bike last evening and would like to get up to an hour and a half. I'm not straining, I'm putting in the time. I'm not concerned about pretending I'm doing the Tour de France; I'm just gently working my body and heart. If I get to the point I can do 12 miles a day, I'll be happy. My upper body is doing pretty good too. I'm at 4 sets of 5 reps on the Universal gym. My end goal is 5 sets of 10 reps each. That will give me all the strength I need. I don't need to add weights to bulk up; I just need to work the muscles until they're tired.
Now the exciting part: as I was leaving the gym, the most amazing man was coming in. He smiled and said hello to this hot, sweaty, tired woman. If I go a few minutes later, I will probably run into him again. I'll stalk him until I meet him. Now, THERE is motivation to workout.
