Acheyness--you call it flu, I call it progress 
Well, it seems like the exercise of the last couple days has caught up with me. My legs feel all muscular, and there's this little part of my butt that is seriously sore. But the whole of my lower body seems ever-so-slightly achey—the sign of a good workout. Or workouts.
Last night I began my implementation of Outside's recommendations. One of them was walking 20 minutes after dinner. I figure I'm getting plenty of walking already, so I've decided I'll exercycle instead. Doing the intervals—man, that kicks my butt. Literally.
Actually, I'm feeling the acheyness in my shoulders and arms too. Oh, and my belly. My belly actually feels solid—not like a bag of styrofoam peanuts.
I then did my hamstring exercises, much to the amusement of the sweetie and the animals. Echo, especially, was very disturbed about the floor exercises, and the cats all had to come up and sniff me. I bought a 55cm balance ball over the weekend, and all inflated it's much less than 55cm. [Really, it sucks. And this I paid $30 for? It's going back] And so soft that doing the balance work is a laugh riot. Really, my balance is so bad, there's no reason to add insult to injury.
This morning, I did an extended walk to the bus stop, and that's it. Maybe something tonight. Oh yeah, pilates—wonder why I'm blocking that out?

Let me know how those Outside recommendations go for you. If my head weren't so clogged up, I'd go out, too. But I can't breathe! I have added more calcium...I hope I'll get back on schedule soon. Good luck.
