Even more OWWWWWW

Two words. BOOT CAMP.

My muscles are MAD today. But I'm glad that I worked them so hard. We did weight training, balance training, ran sprints, did lunge squats across the football field, ran the stairs around the bleachers, and did "suicide" sprints. That's when you start at the goal line, sprint to the ten yard line, then run back to the goal line, then sprint to the twenty yard line, then back to the goal line...and well, you get the idea.

I'm proud because not only did I do it and never give up, I never got frustrated or anxious. I didn't compare myself to anyone else, I just did it. I was the last one to finish my suicide sprints, but I did it and I ran the whole time.

So I'm hurting today, but it feels so good to know I'm doing good things for my body!

Oh, and I'm now down 25 pounds!

Owwwwwww...

Ohhhhh...my achy muscles! I did an hour long PowerFlex class last night and MAN I am feeling it today! It was non-stop the whole time, just shifting from one muscle group to the next, and the trainer did not go easy on me even though I was a first timer to the class.

I had intentions of trying a yoga class after that, but my arms and legs were literally quivering from all that resistance training, so I figured yoga will have to wait until another day. Driving home literally took effort...my arms barely wanted to hang on to the steering wheel. I took a long hot shower when I got home and even washing my hair was tiring!

My husband and daughter got home right after I did with a subway sandwich for me. It makes me laugh that I used to be able to eat a footlong with ease and now I can eat about half of a six inch sandwich. My brain is still getting accustomed to what my new stomach capacity is...because there are times I'm sure I'll be able to eat everything in sight because I'm so hungry, and a few bites later I'm stuffed. Very weird but very cool!

Oh, and I weighed this morning...down another pound. 24 pounds lost!
