House of the Rising Sun!

Another spectacular w/out! I left work tired and looking forward to the gym. The warm up was row 500 m, 5 sets of 10 pullups, and 15 x ...darn I hate that I don't know the name but here's the description 15 lb bar held at my shoulders with my elbows up, bend knees, hips rotate out, arms straight up, hold then reset. Then we start the workout. Well I'm in a w/o with two newbies doing their Ramp Up and the guy says...Work Out! I thought THAT was the workout! I had to laugh cause I remember saying exactly those words! So the w/o was 5 squats with the 15 # bar on my front shoulders with elbows out. The weight increased to a final weight of 40#! That was challenging, but I could have gone higher. Z is upping the weight gradually. I like that. After the w/o I did my 20 and 15 situps and pushups.
So I'm driving home and House of the Rising Sun (love it) comes on the radio, I turn it up and rock on...my mind wanders to how good I feel. I'm thinking about how awful it was just six months ago when I didn't really care how long I lived. Not that I was suicidal, I wasn't, I was just indifferent, stuck. It feels so good to take a deep breath and not do that throaty cough thing, my lungs feel happy. It's great to fast walk over to pickup lunch and not feel winded. I'm amazed and excited about what I'm doing.
Eating is different now. I'm eating healthy and things taste good. TonightI nibbled raw carrots while my salmon and asparagus were cooking, and treated myself to a slice of the most delicious sourdough bread with butter, mmmm mmm. Simple food, but so tasty. At break this afternoon my boss sponsored a "Death by Chocolate" coffee break for all of us. I joined in but without the chocolate. Strawberrys, bannanas and nuts! Yummy and it didn't trigger my chocolate addiction.
Already looking forward to my Sat. 9 am. w/o. Talk to you later. L-mom
