DC - you can still sweat doing resistance training! I promise! I am often surprised by the workout I get. And watching the boys in the gym today... they certainly work up a sweat doing the weights!

Maz - remind yourself this isn't forever. You will be back in the gym soon. Can you do some upper body exercises whilst you have other restrictions?

Eluned - I am super impressed with your triathalon!!!! You can do it!

Abb, well done on your weight loss! And don't feel bad, we all have our issues hon.

Leesa, how are you going?

AFM; next time I get myself in a funk - someone PLEASE haul my sorry ass to the gym! I had a FERIL day today (I swear, I work with a pack of school girls!) and was ready to eat someone alive by 0800! After work I hit the gym and, although it was a crap session compared to other days, it felt great! I struggled to get my heart rate up, and struggled with speed on the treadmill (my left side lost control if I went too fast)... but I got through 45 min and feel fantastic! Will go again tomorrow morning and see how I go.
My shoulder still hurts although it is less painful to deep breath. Which means I probably just pulled a muscle. I'm not getting myself worked up about it though. I'm sure it will be fine. Now I just need to get myself into shape for this goal of mine!!!
