Tiny fist shake of laziness

Did not want to go the gym this morning for water aerobics but I did; I went solely because I know I need to keep going, and I knew I would feel better.  And I did, I do, feel better.  

And I can always tell when my workouts are really taking effect because I get ravenous after.  Before my surgery about four months ago, I would walk into town centre (just five minutes from my gym) a couple of times a month and get something to eat, and a coffee.  Today was the first time since then that I've felt well enough, after, to do that.  But I've really only been going to the gym regularly again for the past month.  Yeah, it's taken me that long to really recover from the surgery, and also the additions of medications, and changes to medications. 

Had a gorgeous bacon egg and cheese butty, and a large coffee.  I even risked missing a delivery I have scheduled for today to do this.  I felt good, and I didn't want to go home yet.  It's a beautiful sunny day; typically for Northern England, bright and sunny this time of year means absofuckinglutely freezing, but I'd brought my big puffy coat, gloves, and hat just so I wouldn't be cold.  The place I go has the best food, and I've been going there for about six years now, and it's nice to go somewhere where they know me well.  To the point where I've been told by several of the staff that I don't have to remind them I don't have chocolate on my cappuccino because they do remember.  

So anyway.

Water aerobics was fantastic.  I still don't feel that horrific pain that I used to feel from regular aerobics.  Booked again for next week, but the week after that I'll have to skip as I'll be visiting my brother, his partner, and their lovely daughter.  It feels great to be getting my gym routine back, and to be active again, as much as I can be.  It's taking a lot of getting used to, adjusting everything for the fibro, but I'm finding it's worth it.  I'll take a hassle and change over the pain I'm used to experiencing.  

But I am home now, and resting for a bit in bed.  I think I'll play a bit of Borderlands 2, and make some coffee.  CL4P-TP, gimme a high five, ninja bro! 

Have a picture of my wall.  Just because.
