Week 12, Entry 6

[goatgodschild]

I am looking forward to seeing the physical therapist soon, because... well, I have to face facts. My body can be looked at as out of shape, but the bigger issue is that I have managed to bash myself up with exercise and strength work over the years, and I am only 24. It's not a lack of enthusiasm for exercise, it's a lack of knowledge of what constitutes reasonable amounts of pain when you're starting a new exercise. And what defines when I should give up.

On the bright side, I have figured out how to do those deep, calming breaths, so there's that. And they're quiet, not gulpy. I like that.
