Today, I woke up with every muscle in my body hurting so bad I could hardly walk. Participation in a triathlon, or overdoing it at the gym? No, the results of a day spent cleaning the house. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband yelled at me for not doing any household chores. I can barely move my hand without suffering excruciating pain, due to recent surgery to ease my arthritis, and my other hand is as bad as ever. I can barely work this phone, let alone wash dishes and iron clothes. FML
Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. FML
Today, I tried exercising. My whole house shook. FML
Today, I was in pain due to overdoing it at the gym yesterday, so I thought a hot shower might help. Not only was there no hot water because of my sister's hour long showers, but I slipped getting out and hit my head. Now the pain is worse. FML
Today, I finished a full marathon and just wanted to relax and get pampered by my husband afterwards. Instead, I spent the evening taking care of him and his back because he had a spasm. Don't worry, he feels much better now. Meanwhile, I can’t move my legs. FML
Today, my stomach muscles are still sore from yesterday. Not because I was doing sit-ups or working out or anything, but because I have to work that hard to take a dump. FML
Today, I'm fit, but so exhausted from work that I hardly managed to even climb the stairs. Yet, as soon as I sit on the couch for longer than half an hour, my butt starts hurting. So I guess it’s either reading a book lying on my stomach, which makes my back hurt, or hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat. FML
Today, I was feeling really good about going to the gym for the first time. That was until I got so worn out from my “warm up” on the treadmill that I had to go home and spew. FML
Today, I thought my knee hurt because of over exercising in the gym. Then I remembered it was because I smacked it against my chair so hard I crumbled down and couldn't move for 5 minutes. And how I remembered? I did it again. FML
Today, I realised just how grossly out of shape I am, when I started violently sweating, felt light-headed, and almost blacked out. All this from helping my sister shift a sofa from the move-in truck to her living room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That is quite a work out though and hopefully it looks nice and clean.

Hey cleaning the house can be a great workout and you've got a sparkly clean house. don't feel bad, OP.

Well, that can be hard work if you were doing something like hauling your dead Christmas tree to the curb all by yourself.

even though it really hurts now, at least you know you've actually started working your muscles. besides, you've got a clean house now, so what's not to like?

I'm with ya! I'm thin and cleaning house can be exhausting.

I've had that happen, housework gives you a workout especially when you're flipping mattresses and hoovering stairs.

keep it up and you'll be fit in no time

I understand how cleaning a house is hard work, but being sore all over the day after is an indication that you need to exercise more.

25 - That's completely irrelevant. If you exercise/workout properly on a regular basis, merely cleaning the house is nothing. I was correct in my original assertion.

@30- Exercising and working out "properly" means different things for different people, body types, activity levels, and certain athletic circumstances that pertain to their sport. What 25 said is completely relevant. Your opinion is not a fact. Facts are facts, and you are wrong.

30, has anyone ever called you an arrogant ****? because you seem like an arrogant ****.

Stretch it out. It might hurt at first but you'll feel better after stretching.
