Debs Shovelglove Check in :)

I just started SG again todayafter a full year off..
I'm quite pleasantly surprised that I was able to do 14 minutes, but I also went very very slowly. Some of it was a bit of squats too.. When my arms got tired I just switched to laying the sledge on my back and doing some slow squats.
I took measurements of my arms and although they are quite flabby, at least they didn't get bigger since last year.
Maybe up 1/4 inch or so?
My personal goal this month is to stick to 5 days a week and do the movements in a very conscious way, incorporating my breath into every movement.
Also, I'd like to be able to do hoist the sack with one arm but I can't right now, so I'm doing it with two
Incase anyone here is curious, my SG is 12 pounds.
By the end I got a nice little sweat going and my heart was definitely moving more than it has been in some time
Felt great!
Hey another little cool thing is that Richie my Son, is getting into doing calesthetics (sp??) and can do over 30 pushups in one round!
Seeya tomorrow folks..
Peace,
Debs
I did 10 situps once I was done with SG, and he held my feet down..
My stomach is so out of shape! I will be very pleased with myself if I can keep my commitment to this!
