    You try to get out of your desk chair and realize you might need some help...or at least to take it slower. ;)

    OR

    We always like to say "You're walking around like an overworked hooker." That means you had a good leg workout.

    I'm walking like this today....

    When you decide the soap run off from your upper body will have to be enough for your legs and feet.

    LOL this has happened to me too many times....

    Also the alarm goes off and I think "how can I get up with as little pain as possible" and then realize it's like ripping a band aide off, just get up fast and scream a little inside.

    oh we're supposed scream inside? that explains the ensuing panic, I was doing it wrong.

    I personally have always been partial to that moment in the "Bridget Jones" movie when she steps off the stationary bike and falls flat on her face :)

    :laugh: :bigsmile:

    When trying to put on your socks and shoes becomes an adventure.

    When you cringe just looking at the curb that you have to conquer in order to get onto the sidewalk that leads into work.
    Or when you feel like you're doing calf raises when your muscles are supposed to be relaxing...
    My co worker laughed at me the other day because with every step I either cringed or said "Ow." I'm a teacher and one of my students yelled at the others to behave so I didn't have to get out of my seat because my legs hurt. LoL

    Waiting for the road to be completely clear before crossing because you just cannot get your legs to move faster. Also stocking up on food and water when going upstairs because you just don't know when you'll be able to make it back down :)

    When it's more comfortable to wear heels than flats because your calves feel like they will rip in half from being stretched out by standing flat-footed!!! Ha!!

    I've been getting some good workouts without even going to the gym! I have a project car that I have been working on. I had to pull the timing cover and oil-pan along with cleaning up a mess under the hood from a oil leak.

    Sunday my legs were tired from getting up and down so much.

    Monday I was sore, could feel it, so I took the evening off working on the car.

    Tuesday morning I was doing the zombie walk because they hurt BAD, I wasn't looking forward to using the toilet as it is SOOOOO far down there. I got home, decided to push through the pain and finished taking apart what I needed to. I was surprised when my legs didn't feel any worse at the end.

    This morning I got up and am still a little sore, but not that bad.

    I'm really surprised i'm not worse than yesterday. Moving this 310# frame under a car is a workout!

    When you get up slower and groan more than your 12 year old arthritic dog. I have new sympathies for him!
