An Auspicious Beginning

After my surgery in July, I was not allowed any exercise, other than walking, for about 2 months.  During that time, my insulin sensitivity steadily dropped off, and my basal needs crept up to 50% higher than before (9 units instead of 6).  I kept telling myself that as soon as I could, I was going to get back into the gym and start working myself back into shape, and hopefully put on some weight in the process (I know that’s not why everyone goes to the gym, but we’re all trying to change something).  But two months came and

went, and, apart from sneaking in a couple of surf sessions here and there, I never really got back on the exercise horse, so to speak.  I’ve been working long days and nights, traveling basically weekly, and trying to find a little bit of time to unwind here and there.  Usually by the time I feel ready to hit the gym, it’s been closed for hours.

But today, I just decided enough was enough.  I wanted to get my body on the path to becoming more insulin effecient, I want to get stronger, and I’m hoping that getting my body tuned up will do the same for my mind (oh how it needs a tune up…).  So after dropping some things off at the post office, I headed off to spend an hour at the gym.

How did it go?

I got lost on the way there.  Guess it really HAS been a while.
