I'm feeling much better today! I can fully extend my arm with no pain, and my leg is only causing a little pain when i climb the stairs. I'm going to the gym tonight, but not sure exactly what i should do. Today would normally be upper body strength training, but i'm not sure if i should bust back into full out strength training just yet. And i dont think my leg is ready for full out cardio either.


I'm having some family issues that have me all stressed out. My son has been acting out and my mother is being her normal judgemental self and making me feel guilty for going to the gym as often as i do. Am i wrong for trying to make me happy and healthy? I feel that getting a good workout actually makes me a better mom, because it releases stress, and makes me feel happy and good about myself... which in turn makes me better at mothering. She thinks he's acting out becuase i spend no time with him (which is completely untrue). She even offered (in a back handed way) to keep him while i'm at the gym, ya know, so someone is actually paying attention to him.
Anyways, i'm expressing myself here so that i dont deal with this in the form of half a chocolate cake washed down with a glass of chocolate milk. I know i'm a good mom, i shouldnt let other people get me down, its hard tho, when that person is your mother.

And I hate to be such a 'debbie-downer' yet again.. i'm in a really weird place right now. Trying to figure myself out without turning to food. So far so good tho! :)

Happy to hear you're not falling apart! I do think you should still take it easy at the gym today though, you don't want to make anything worse. Do you ever use the rowing machine? That always seems pretty safe. OMG no, you're not the bad guy for wanting to take care of yourself! You don't want to be one of those chunky mommies. Plus you're totally right, working out is great stress relief. When I have kids I plan on being in the gym more haha! From what I hear, you're a GREAT mom, so don't let anyone tell you different--especially when they aren't supervising you with your kid 24/7!! All kids act out every now and then. They're kids! It's what they're supposed to do. Sheesh. Back away from the chocolate cake, take a few deep breaths and hit up the gym. I hope you don't let this get to you too much--try and have yourself a great Wednesday!

Thank you tubbs, a little positive reinforcement always helps. :) As far as the gym goes, I'm thinking of working my chest and back, and just try to avoid any machine that puts strain on my bicep, see how that goes. What do you think?

Oh gosh, I suck when it comes to knowing what's best workout-wise! But yes, you have the right idea of not putting too much strain on the muscles that are bothering you. Just test out whatever you're comfortable with, and if you feel the burn in the right places, go for it :)

haha Thats right, you are the girl who gets her work out from chasing people around with antibacterial wipes! LOL

That's my only exercise at the gym--I've never pulled a muscle yet! Hahaha!

It kills me when family is so unsupportive! You DO need to take care of you so you can take care of all the others that need you. So many people lose sight of themselves when others need to come first. I say good for you doing what you know is good for you (and your family!). Sorry your mom is making you feel guilty, that's pretty crappy. I'm sure you son is just going through a phase like all kids do! Keep your chin up, you know you're on the right track.
