I know my body :)

Ok so yesterday I wrote how I got off the couch to exercise and pushed myself just to exercise. Well during that exercise I did something to my shoulder during push ups. I iced it a couple of times yesterday and again today. However, even though my shoulder hurt I still did my routine. I did skip a few exercises with the shoulders but did the rest. I was not going to let one shoulder stop a whole day of exercising. My point is ONLY YOU know your body. It is OK to skip some parts of your exercise routine, do alternate moves, or even switch it your rest day. Heck, even take the family for a walk. You know your body best. Don’t let your pride get in the way and make things worse. It is very important for you to listen to your body!

On a lighter note, as I reported the first day I started at 179 lbs. last Monday and today I am proud to say I am 174lbs. and feeling great!!!!!! 5 lbs. down 48 to go!!!!!!!!!

be careful with that shoulder girl... shoulders are one of the most important ones... but also remember that the mind is too powerful... like you said "get to know your body" , that way your mind won't get in the way.
