Weightlifting works! Mood
Sunday, March 22, 2009

I was getting discouraged with my results lifting weights, and didn't think I was making enough progress.  But today I went to Costco for a new bag of water-sotener salt and it was a totally different experience.  Last time I bought a bag it nearly defeated me getting it off the pallet and into my cart.  In fact an old man was alarmed at my struggle and offered to help.  Not too embarrassing.  It almost defeated me again getting it into the car, then out of the car, then into the house and down the basement stairs.  I had to go lie down afterwards.

 

Well, this time it went fine.  I wouldn't say it was easy -- would it kill these people to put a handle on the bag!? -- but I didn't even have to make an "UURRRRGGGGHHH" sound to move the bag.

 

This is progress.

    I'm sure that's part of it, Jane, but the rest is just plain anniversary effect.
