So my day started with ATTEMPTING to get out of bed, and realizing it hurt the abs too much to really sit up... so I more or less rolled off the bed. Tried walking, sore but doable - until I sat down to pee... holy hell hamstrings!!! Definitely feeling every single freaking lunge and squat I did yesterday!
Soo... I made myself go to the gym today.. figured I'd have to work though the soreness (after bitching to dad and him telling me sore=good, pain =bad. It's not pain so why not keep going?
I got in 35 minutes on the eliptical, 10 minutes walking on an incline on the treadmil, some ass work outs and a little abs (because I'm a crazy person thats why!)
So now its off to an 11 hour shift that ends at 1:30am... let's hope I make it through!
Happy Tuesday =)
Good for you! Yea, the soreness has worn off a bit as the day has gone on. However, being tackled from behind by a 5 yr old while squatting definitely left an impression! Damn kids, they just don't get it!
ReplyDeleteSuper proud of you for going to the gym. You've motivated me to NOT make today a rest day (I was contemplating the idea), and going home for some Wii action!
Get through that shift and go home and relax!! Would it be inappropriate to blog on the fitness blog about having a drink after work!? Midweek? By yourself? Nahhh, have a drink! You earned it ;)
YAY for you for not taking a break today!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to take a day off tomorrow BUT I don't have hot water back until Friday (Yes, I pay my bills... they are replacing the hot water heater) for the sake of not going into hypothermia, I have to go to the gym if I want a warm shower... grrrrrrr.
Did my work out this afternoon. Wooo, like having it out of the way. I forgot I wasn't going to be @ school tomorrow b/c of a training, so I had to stay and get sub plans written up. I got home around 5 and didn't even let myself sit down - threw on a sports bra and went at it... otherwise it wasn't going to happen :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't run my 2 miles though, my legs weren't having it. I will move that to tomorrow. Lots of lunges and side lunges today... running wasn't happening!
Plus apparently you're last night is my tonight. I am an emotional frickin crazy person. I cried 6 times while watching 5 mins of Biggest Loser. Then I just cried b/c, yea no reason. I don't cry either, Em. Johnny thinks I need to be committed, I think I just need to not have a job b/c I was happy as a clam for the last two weeks... this place stresses me out! Plus I started today, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it!
I'm glad we're doing this, it's helping me to have a 'partner.'
Oh, and sorry about your hot water - that sucks a big one! You'll just have to do other things to keep warm. I'd say invite Mike over, but he's on my list right now... go find a good looking fireman at a bar. That'll do, friend.
Awe Stu... why are we such emotional disasters? Here we are trying to get our bods back in order and our minds are screwing us up!!! GRRRR!!!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am so super proud of you for getting home and getting right to it! I'm pretty amazed.. yay you!
As I was on the eliptical this morning I was thinking.. I'm getting tired, then I thought, Nope Im going longer so I can write I went longer on the blog. So for real, this is helping me!
Thing about the hot water and showering situation... The shower curtains at the gym are CLEAR!!! Nothing says "get your ass in shape" like CLEAR shower curtains!!! I felt a smidge awkward... however the girl who stripped naked next to me, did not. I'm pretty sure I was smack dab in the middle of a guy's fantasy.
Did you ask her if she shrink wraps her ass? Just checking :)
ReplyDeleteClear shower curtains? REALLY? Is that necessary?! I think you should bring your own curtain... glad you're not an everyday gym showerer - those people freak me out! That being said, the only gym I've ever showered at is the Y... they get all the riff raff!
