I was doing so good last week riding my stationary bike, exercising my arms with small weights, leg lifts on my husband's weight bench...and then I got cocky!
I did curls and butterfly things with heavier weights and did MORE than I should have.
I wasn't so much sore as exhausted for about 4-5 days. Messed up my whole routine.
I have Fibromyalgia and if you overdo it, you pay.
So I payed all weekend. I will have to get back on my SMALL WEIGHT routine, that was working.
2.2 lbs vs 8.8 lbs per arm!
Duh.:embarassed:

    Me too, but now I'm out for 6 weeks with a herniated disc. I'm so disappointed, I felt like I was really getting back on track with my eating, and now I'm just a couch potato. I'm allowed to start walking today... only 20 mins though

    Ouch. so sorry to hear that. I was lucky, no damage, just kicked in my Fibro and I was exhausted for 4-5 days and lost that time. But nothing like you are facing. Good luck, and don't let it get you down.
    You'll be back on your feet soon and can continue...gently.

    As a fellow fibro girl, I overdid Saturday and I'm still "paying".

    So, if misery loves company, I'm right here for you.:flowerforyou:
