I think it’s hilarious that your mom tries to derail you going to the gym. And that you keep getting injured. Ok, that sounds bad. I don’t think it’s funny that you get hurt, but it ironically seems to keep proving her asinine theory! (hope that sounds better):-)

In hindsight is was a very scary sound. At the time we went from weird, loud sound to collapsed ceiling so quickly that I didn’t think too much about it. I’ve been through a few big storms, but have never heard anything like that!

but back to topic, that had to be a pretty awful sound! you’ll remember that experience for a long time.

I am the same way – I get super motivated and pretend I’m an Olympian. It never ends well. I’m trying to take it slow this time. We’ll see…

Your post about the moobs had me in stitches, by the way. I tried to comment, but had major technical issues.

But I think in general, injuries happen to me when I try to do too much at once. Typically, something will prompt me to get back to exercising, e.g., my infant trying to nurse on my moobs, and I tend to be an all-in or all-out kind of guy, so I never take it slow. Then BAM! some injury or some major ache and I’m out until my next infant tries to nurse on me.
