On the 7th Day of Christmas

On the Seventh Day of Healthy Christmas the gift I gave to me were a pair of mini trips to the gym. I would have preferred a more intense workout, but alas my fatigue has caught up with me. There's a cold threatening to take down my immune system, but it hasn't invaded yet. I twisted my ankle a bit while tripping on an out of place shoe in the garage, so I've been guarded about my movement. I took a brief spin on the stationary bike, walked on the treadmill, and jogged briefly on the eliptical trainer. Then I thought I was She-Ra and I did plies with 10 pound weights, squats, and assorted lifts & presses with a weighted bar. My thighs feel like jello (not the look I was going for) and my head pounds from a tension headache. Awesome. The most disappointing part is that I've gained five pounds. That doesn't feel like a victory. I'll keep trying.
