Minor Road Block

A few days ago I went to the doctor because I had what I thought was razor burn under my left arm. I had tried many different things on it for a month and nothing was helping. The pain and itching was really grinding on my nerves. That rash was actually ringworm. Yuck! I do not know where I picked it up from but now it's no wonder one of my lotions or creams, etc were helping it.

Along with a prescribed cream and pill to take for it, the doctor advised me to keep the area as friction free as possible and dry. This has meant no jumping on the elliptical every morning. It's been a big disruption in my routine to skip working out. I can't believe it but I actually miss it! Working out gives me that sense of accomplishment and energy boost that sustains me through the rest of my day.

So today I am being naughty and I am getting back on the elliptical. I won't use the arm bars and will be sure to wash and dry the area immediately after I am done. I need my work out!

And although it's true I could do leg weights or sit ups I haven't had the motivation to with skipping my cardio. That was actually pretty lazy on my part. So today I am going to do both things after my important elliptical time.

I am pumped and ready to go!
