I'm now on my second week of exercising every weekday morning, which I'm pretty happy about!
Overall it's been a mixed bag. I've screwed up my shoulder a bit trying to do pushups on the assistance bar in the bathroom at work, and the yoga routine I tried yesterday was really not designed for someone who's got a lot of weight on her chest. By the time I was on my 8 millionth downward dog, upward dog, bend over and touch your toes, bend up and touch your toes another way that made up well over a quarter of the half-hour video, my back was going "Dude. No." At least I've learned enough that I quit before it caused any damage this time, which considering my history is pretty good.
The weightlifting's doing much better, though. I added another resistance band for my rows, and I think I'm pretty close from graduating from railing squats into broomstick squats. I'm more at the point of using the railing slightly to balance myself rather than oh my god if I don't hold onto this with a deathgrip I am going to fall over, at least.
