I can't wait until my body stops screaming at me... amazing how out of shape two months will get you.
Why is getting back into the "swing" of working out again so hard?

I lost my workout bag. Now, I can work out without the bag, or the contents, I just have to carry the clothes in a plastic bag or something. What I can't do, though, is follow the workout plan, because the BOOK IS IN THE BAG.

I ran on the treadmill and used the stairmaster a few times, but not having the bag gave me a mental block. So instead of working out 5 days last week, it ended up being two days.

That said, I found the bag; my wife had washed an afghan and put it on top of my bag. Then some other things got put on top of the afghan. That always seems to happen at our house.

At any rate, I have the bag today. Let's do this thing.
