Some of you know the story, but back before summer started I really hurt my shoulder lifting weights. It was a big blow to my workout routine as I was lifting weight 3 times a week. I had worked up to using some pretty good weights in my workouts--50 pound dumbbells and 150 pound bench presses.....anyway, one day I felt a pain in my shoulder that was like someone stuck me with a knife. My doctor said it was a rotator cuff strain and I couldn't lift weights for three weeks. I was devastated and it really put a damper on my weight loss efforts. Three weeks stretched into five weeks. The doctor said if I didn't let it heal, then I might be looking at surgers so I really did try to let it heal. Summer arrived and I didn't lift weights all summer. My shoulder is feeing great (for know) so on Wednesday I decided to ease my way back into weightlifting. I didn't overdo it or do too many types of lifts, but boy am I sore today. My shoulders and arms are killing me. BUT it feels so good to know it came from a good workout. I'm ready to get back to where I was and beyond!! I'm looking forward to weighing in on Mondays for the Tuesday episodes. Everyone have a great day!
