Humble Pie

Every once in awhile. The gym will hand you your ass. That was today. I woke up and I felt ok went to the first 24 hour fitness. It wasn't open. Went to the second one. It has a pool and a basketball court. It is nice...seemed like a normal day. 10 minute warm up stretch. Some controlled squats. 1 set...good...2...set...good....3..set...good..4...set good....ugggghhhhhhhhh stars/breathing/coughing/nap time. I was able to lie down for awhile and I must have looked like crap because a trainer was over there quickly. I was light headed and seeing stars. He gave me a candy bar and I was back moving around after 30 minutes or so. It was embarrassing to say the least. My lesson learned is I will probably just do leg extensions and leg curls from now on. I also know by experience that many people have this happening and it comes with the territory if you try to build muscle. Building a body takes blood/sweat/tears. So I was blessed to not pass out completely and hit my head on something, and I actually felt better and went for a walk (after eating a banana or two) Now I feel better and have energy. So there is some character building for you!

The day seems to be productive so far. Like I said I have energy (which is rare) I started a load of laundry and I might clean my jeep.
