Two weeks w/out working out was torture!

Even though, I was in Disney World, with each passing day since my return home, it becomes more and more obvious that one of the main causes of my fatigue and irritability at times on vacation stemmed from the fact that I went from rigorous exercise to none at all, and that will not do for me.

I told DW that any hotel we stay in from here on out must have workout facilities, or at least a jogging path. Of course, a weekend getaway would not apply, but it is my goal to never go 2 straight weeks without butt-kicking workouts, I really never knew how much I loved working out until I stopped doing it for longer than a couple of days.

I totally understand Jerry... One month without workouts post-shoulder surgery and then now only being able to do legs (holding no more than a 10 lb db at chest height for squats and 5 pounds in each arm for lunges - NO deadlifts) and core and no kickbox or real aerobics .... it's tough. I can't wait to hit it hard again...It has affected my moods, my outlook on life and my WEIGHT!!

BTW - welcome back to the boards... I missed reading your posts when you were away!

I NEVER do vacations anymore where I can't walk at least several miles a day. I need it for stress relief! Actually, my kids and I love city vacations where we get to walk forever, seeing sites, going to restaurants, museums, exploring etc. I would go crazy if I had to sit on a beach for days!! Must. move. body. I usually take some no equipment or band only dvds when I vacation. Even if I don't get to them, it's nice to have them if I want them. BTW, KPC actually works in hotel rooms! (Just look behind when you're doing back kicks. )

Sorry you found this out the hard way, Jerry. Good luck with your new running program! (you mentioned it on another thread)

I totally understand! Since my operation, I haven't been exercising steadily since July 24th. I finely got permission yesterday to exercise routinely. It was pure torture for me and I gained weight.

YAY Janie! Congrats...I'm still waiting for the "all systems go" but am grateful for the little bit I CAN do...
