    Decided to take a rest day today. My body is just beat/exhausted. Planning to go to the gym tomorrow to get some weights in, even though I normally go on Fridays.

    Made it to the gym, even though frankly, I didn't feel like it. Still trying to add in some more machines to my routine. Shoulder feeling better, and want to add in more abs soon - hopefully next week.

    This is very cool! I've been doing weights now 4 days a week, twice a week for 30 minutes with a trainer learning the equipment and variations (it's a big gym). Today will probably be a weight cardio combo as she asked if I'd mind. I told her I was game for whatever she threw at me (2 machines to which I object mostly because I think they're useless are off the table) but that leaves maybe 60. I can finally feel muscles! I'm 61 and osteoporosis runs in the family. We also live for bloody forever so building up bone is very important. And it turns out I'm really enjoying the process! Who knew
