Sometimes you just need to sleep

Sleeping in your own bed provides a much better outlook on things. I am doing much better than this time yesterday. A good night's sleep will do that for you I guess. This past week I was kind of a slacker with my exercises. I know you wonder how can that be when I'm not doing that much to start with but believe me it is possible. I flew to both coasts and that is going to be my excuse. It's lame but that's my story and I'm sticking with it. Anyway, today is a new day and I see the trainer today. The plan is to confess my sins and wipe the slate clean. I will do better this coming week. I get to stay in the same place for a few days (and no that is not home). Staying put makes exercising easier.
Here's to a much better exercise week!

Everyone is entitled to a bad day

Depression and grief hit people in various ways.
I'm so tired of being tired it's not even funny. Most of my "exercise" is relegated to stretching. I know it's important and when I do it on a regular basis I can see that it's helping. Honestly I just want one day where I can really just work myself to exhaustion and just sweat. I guess we always want what we can't have.
Now that I got that out I feel much better. Every now and then it's good to let the bad feelings out into the ether. Thanks for listening.

WTF - Pain in the ass, really???

So how do I say this. I found out last week that my quads are really the only muscles in my body that I use. The hamstrings really just come along for the ride because they have no choice. I know that doesn't make sense but I even use my quads to stand. The rest of the muscles (big or small) really don't get used. So quads are over developed and the butt, back or abs really aren't used at all. How sad is that?
Please explain to me how this is possible! I guess I know this is true but WTF. So my exercises for the week have been centered around not using my quads and trying to engage other muscles that normal people use. Apparently, that's not as easy as it sounds and I strained something. Basically I got a pain in my ass (literally).
This is time I didn't wait months before I did something about it. I went to the Torture Lady and then had a therapeutic massage. Massage lady also agreed with the diagnosis and then she laughed and called me quite unique.
Anyway, that's what's going on with me.
