And 1 and 2 and…enough.

I got a membership at ACAC here in C’ville. I did my first workout this evening and now my arms don’t work. I was supposed to do 20-30 reps of each exercise, but by the time I made my way to the sixth machine, I was simply no longer capable of picking things up. It’s clear that I’ve got a long way to go. I felt a little silly with some of those weights, and really stupid on the stationary bicycle. Who wants to ride a bike and not go anywhere? Why pick something up just to put it back down again? I’ll get over it, I’m sure.

I weigh 155 lbs now. At 6’4″, that’s ridiculous. So I’m meeting with some nutritionist person there, and have an exercise regimen that involves lots of upper-body stuff. By spring I hope to be up to 165 – 170. We’ll see.
