OK, I knew I was out of shape. Didn't realize just how bad it was until I actually *gasp* exercised.

Last week I joined Snap Fitness with J. from work. They had a special going where there was no enrollment fee, and they have month to month contracts, so I figure if I end up not using it I'll only be out a few months fees.

I went to work out yesterday for the first time and barely made my 15 minutes on the elliptical machine.

but wow! am I ever achy today. Mostly my thighs. It's that sort of feels good ache you get from exercise, but it is definitely something I'm not used to!

In other news, I did horrible on my Spanish test. I got a B- which doesn't seem that bad except that I'd been getting A's on everything 'til now.

It was raining when I left school. When I got home the raindrops were looking a little white and solid. It was also windy as all fuck out there. Right now it looks like we've got about an inch out there and it's still coming down.

I expect that it will be absolutely GORGEOUS out by the time I get up tomorrow. And I can leisurely enjoy it & take some pictures before snowblowing because I'm working the afternoon shift instead of morning. Yay! Sleeping in *and* pretty snow!

Good on ya for the workout. When you're getting back up to speed I'd especially recommend doing various exercises for cardio... elliptical, recumbent bike, fast walking on a track or treadmill and such. This will give you some variety and make it so you "spread around the soreness" in smaller doses to different muscles.

*ditto* on the spread it around - The elliptical is pretty challenging anyway, let alone just getting back into things!

Anyhoo - great job!

And great job on the test, too - A B- is not what you were expecting, but a B is still a solid, respectable grade.

Yeah, I'm planning on doing different machines. The main thing I need to worry about is that I have bad knees so anything with impact is bad.
