That’s what I am these days. All the time. Why? Because of my gymming .Everything hurts.Muscles,bones and probably the fat too.
At any given point in time some part of my body is awfully sore. If its my calves one day, its my abs the other. If its not the biceps then definitely my hamstrings that are smarting. I am so done for after coming back from the gym that even breathing seems an effort.
Bah,I feel like I’m paying these people a bomb just to kill me. Sado-masochism of the worst kind.
Hence, extremely low on enthusiasm since yesterday. What is my obsession with weight loss anyway? I lost 14 kgs in 5 months, shouldn’t that be enough? Why this desperation to lose another 10? Do I have self image issues? Am I being superficial? So what if I never budge a gram from my present 68 kgs, who’s going to die?
What is my motivation anyway? Just to go into a store and ask for a particular size? How is that going to change my life catastrophically? I discovered that people who loved me at 58 kgs loved me at 82 too, so who exactly am I trying to please.
These are just some of the arguments that have been springing in my mind, the past 2-3 days. Priyanka’s post has come at an opportune moment.(See, this is why blogging buddies are invaluable 
)
I realize that I can’t stop now and should persevere for at least for another 5 kgs loss(as that’s when I enter my healthy BMI ratio) and truth be told I do love sweating it out and find it a major stress buster. Plus I have made a commitment for the next six months and I’ll be damned if I don’t honour it.
Sorry for the bitch fest, my gluteus maximus is ‘hurt’imus-ing right now as I type.God give me strength!
I asked the same questions. I did calve raises on Wed and my calves were so effing sore, that they hurt even when I touched them. My knee was hurting from the 3 mile run I did on last Sunday.
Whats worse , I still havent lost a lb since god knows when.. I know I am losing inches, building muscles an muscles weight more blah blah but it sucks when my dh is still much lighter than I am.
Oh god, that didnt help you one bit?
After 45 years, I realized I could skip the pain by taking an advil. Suddenly my every 2 years horseback riding did not have a down side (next day crippling effect).
That said, good for you for questioning your need to be a certain weight or size. And for recognizing on the other hand, how much you are benefiting (stress buster). I am impressed, though. 6 months! I do not have such self discipline. Curious I am: what is the plan after 6 months? Will you refine your regimen once you’ve achieved your goal (which clearly you will do as you are such a hard worker) whatever goal you end up deciding on?
[sraikh]: I know what you mean! Remember when I sprained my calf? Man,it hurt like hell!! Turns out I wasn’t wearing the right shoes, so I went out and I got myself a really good pair.
And yes, even I have lost just 1.5 kgs but have lost inches, i just zipped up an old pair of jeans
[suzanne]: Hey Suzanne, welcome to my blog
Well, muscle relaxant spray has been my best friend the last 2 -3 weeks
I have done horse riding and know how much it hurts the next day!
My final goal is to hopefully be the fittest I have ever been by the end of the next 5 months. After that I am hoping to go to the gym only thrice a week for maintaining my weight and am thinking of taking up running as a sport too.
What can I say,I am addicted to the feel good endorphins released after exercising
I like the Nike slogan ‘Just Do It’. Thats what I have been telling myself for the past few months as such questions spring in my mind too every now and then. But I feel they are just de-motivators, and usually we think about them when we are extremely tired.
Its always good to have weight loss buddies, as its fun to share things and keep each other inspired.
I say why stop at 5 more kgs, go all the way because you can do it.
Agree with Priyanka. I’ve always got into these routines and lost it in a couple of months. But when you see a slimmer you in the mirror , it sure does feel awesome!
oh well! i start gymming from tomorrow and am actually nervous! while i have really not been worring about how i look and had made my peace with plus size tores, this excess weightalready seems to be taking a toll on my health! so i hope i can maintain some discipline and keep at it least to have a healthy lifestyle if nothing else!
and you go girl! 14kgs loss in that time is just awesome! have fun while at it!
cheers!
