Things I Can't Say

Tips and Tales from an Introverted Mom

I Thought the Gym Was Going to Kill Me

Comments

  3. Glad you are feeling better and can head back to the gym! You'll be back into a good routine in no time!

  4. You can do it!

    Sorry you are feeling under the weather. I hope you get better soon.

  6. Now I have yet another reason for not going to the gym – it causes illness! Thank you for adding to my list of excuses!

  7. Glad you are feeling better! I've been going faithfully 2-3 times a week all school-year and running a 5K. That's come to a screeching halt now that the kids are home for the summer…I intend to 30-day shred at home, but that hasn't happened yet… and my mom called me fat last week! Oh the joy! 🙂

  8. That is hysterical…you probably thought they gym was actually trying to kill you! Either way, I hope you're feeling better now.

    I got off the treadmill the other day (I typically stick with the elliptical) and I was totally dizzy…almost fell over…like when you get off a boat after a while. It was embarrassing! I almost ran into someone walking in the opposite direction…damn treadmill!

  9. You had me laughing out loud with this post!!! Good luck at the gym today!!

  10. Feeling that out of shape does suck so I'm glad you had a fever too! I need someone to kick my ass into gear to workout…. SO unmotivated!

  11. haha good for you going to the gym! i always seem to have the best of intentions!
    no fun with a fever though!!

  15. Glad it wasn't the gym but sorry you got ill. Hope your feeling better now 🙂 Have a great week.

  16. You had me reconsidering a gym membership when my kids are both in school because I am no where near in shape!

    It's good to know you're not that out of shape. Not that being sick is any better. Good luck at the gym!

  17. girrrl I feel ya! I teach Zumba and with camp and the Holiday, I took 2 weeks off and ate like a P-I-G Hog! When I went back to the gym yesterday, I could barely move! Keep at it!!

  19. Working out when you're sick is the worst! At least you can blame your poor performance on the fever 🙂 Hope today goes better for you.

  20. We will be on the watch for you today. Don't hurt yourself at the gym.

  21. Sorry you were sick, but like you, I thought it was better to be sick than that out of shape! LOL

    For me though, it would be that I'm that out of shape!

  23. Oh, glad you're feeling well enough to work out again! Good luck! I just started working out last week for the first time in, like… EVER, and I swear to god, I really, truly thought I might die afterward!

  25. Ugh not a good weekend to get sick on hun. Glad you are feeling better though and I will watch for your tweets lol

  27. That's crazy…. I bet you were relieved. Now I would have just faked sickness to be able to never return to the gym again. That is why Hans hates me….

  28. Probably one of the only times you've been releived to be sick, huh? Get well soon and kick some bootay at your gym!!! 🙂

  29. Well crap…sucks about the fever! Though when I first started working out I felt super dizzy and realized it was Vertigo…getting old sucks!

    Good luck at the Gym!!!

  32. GOOD LUCK!! I've been off the gym for the past 2 weeks due to a stupid cold that has killed any chance of a good night's sleep. I need to get back.

    Happy PINT

  36. Be careful!!! 🙂
    I'm sorry about your fever and I hope you feel better and that your workout today is awesome.

  37. Sorry you were sick, though I can see why you were happy that was the reason. Hope today went better for you!

  38. As I was reading your post its, I was thinking, I wonder if she was just sick. So while I'm not happy you were, I'm also relieved for you that you were.
    I need to go work out too. Ugh!

  39. Yes, I was so sore from doing seriously wimpy Wii stuff the other day. I thought, "I either need to never do that again or do it a lot more. A lot."

  40. Oh no! So glad that you are feeling better though! I need to hop back on the workout train myself. My last 15 lbs aren't going to just come off by themselves!

  41. You probably picked up some flu-thing at the gym….all those different germs lurking on the equipment!! Yep, that'd be enough for me to swear off gyms forever. I'd rather be fat than sick! 😉

  42. I put my kids to bed at 8:00 last night and David made out like I was cruel for putting them to bed before dark. You get to put yours to bed at 7:30????

    And I wrote about exercise today too. And how I almost got attacked by wolves. In my sleep.

  43. Ah the gym…. I have a love-hate relationship with exercise, but I think the hate part stems from the fact that I dont know how to exercise half way. I have to run 3 miles or I feel like a failure. So I just don't exercise 😉

  44. Oh you poor thing! I am glad you are feeling well enough to go to the gym.

  45. LOL well good thing you weren't as out of shape as you thought, glad you're feelin better!

  47. so impressed with your motivation to work out! I'm lucky if I manage to walk up the stairs without having to catch my breath. If you have fever though that's probably your bodies way of telling you that you need to rest. Don't overwork yourself girl!

  48. Oh geez, isn't that just like a mom to not realize WE are sick. I think we get used to a certain level of feeling run down. I'm glad you aren't that out of shape (go you, I haven't been to the gym in closer to 10 years) but I'm sorry you were sick. I hope this time goes better than last!

  49. Oh my! Well I guess it was good news it was a fever and not just being out of shape 🙂 I hope things go better today!

  51. Is it safe to say, glad you were just sick and not out of shape? Glad to hear that you're trying again today. Keep up the good work!!

  52. This time we will be sure to send help! lol

    It is pretty bad when you re happy to fins out you are sick. I may or may not have experienced a similar thing after I tried to return to pilates.

  54. Good luck!! Working out sucks a whole lot, but it is so worth it when you start seeing and feeling the positive changes =)

  56. For a second there I thought you were going to say that you were pregnant! That's kind of how I found out I was pg with my third: I could barely run three miles, when I'd just finished a marathon a month before. It was so weird! But then I found out why I was soooo tired…

  57. Oh man! So sorry you were sick. Since you are going back, I hope that means you are well!

  58. Oh my sweet baby Jesus that was funny that post it series right there.

    P.S. I was sure you were going to say you were knocked up too!

  59. Holy cow chica! That's one heck of a fever.

    Hope you're feeling better–and go you for going back to the gym!

  60. Thank God for being sick!

    I would have thought the exact same thing.

    Hope you are feeling better!

  61. Haha! I love how you ended with that same post it. Too funny! I remember the first time I got on the elyptical last year. It could have won a funniest home video prize! I was peddling backwards, and lasted for all of two minutes. So sad! Keep it up! 🙂

  66. Just remember…what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

    I'll keep trying to remember that too!

  67. Ugh! So sorry you're sick! Rest up and when you hit the gym again, you'll be so impressed with how much you've improved!

  68. WOW hope you feel better! Really enjoyed your Post Its! It sure is a fun and different way to post! 🙂

    Marti

  69. Hope you're feeling better!

    That's some funny stuff, reposting the same note! LOL!!

  70. Love your blog! Love the idea of "things I can't say."

    My husband and I just started a blog because our marriage has been going through some rough spots and it just feels so good to get our thoughts out there.

    Thanks for having blogs like this so that in entices others to not keep everything inside.

  71. Oh you poor thing! Kind of glad you were sick though!

    Does the gym offer Zumba?? Try it!! 🙂

  72. Thanks for stopping by… I'm visiting from PINT (a little late). :p Sorry to hear you were sick, love the SEND HELP!!!!!!! post-it at the end. 😀

  73. ok, how did it go? and please tell me i didn't give you strep. Just a cold – hoping!!!

  74. I am just waiting for Big Brother to start. I figure all that panting over hot boys counts as exercise.

  75. Oh no!! Isn't it sad that as women, you'd be happier that you were sick instead of just out of shape? (because, I would've felt the SAME WAY! : ) GOOD LUCK heading back to the gym!

  76. At least you can blame it on the fever. Something is going around here. My sister in law came down with a fever the other night…hope you are feeling better.

  77. Oh no! Well I'm glad it wasn't that you were that out of shape, but sorry to hear you were sick. Hope your next trip to the gym went well. 🙂
