Recovery?! Well, don't mind if I do

Hey pretty lady. Well, believe it or not my weekly plan switched... again! I came home from work today around 10 feeling like poo with what can only be described as a migraine, even though I've NeVeR had a migraine in my life... everyone around me took it upon themselves to explain to me what was my problem. Very nice. So I worked from home until about 12 b/c my head hurt to badly to fall asleep (I tried) and around 12 I was able to take a nap. Either the sleeping or the dark did wonders, b/c I woke up ready to go (still had some pressure, but NOTHING like before the nap).

I had every intention of going to spinning (yea, I know it's like playing hooky rules I should have had to stay home). Well, Johnny would agree. Playing dad, he told me it was a bad idea... in his defense, he thinks I'm developing a sinus infection b/c my ears are bothering me too... so he's just looking out :)

Since I was feeling better and didn't get my workout in yesterday, I decided to do a low intensity work out. I did an hour of yoga/core on Wii. It was perfect... sweat, got my heart rate up, stretched some, but wasn't too intense that I think it would set me back if my immune system is weak.

Which brings me to my title... remember me telling you that I was dreading getting on the Wii yesterday b/c I knew I gained? Well, I was right... I was +2 from Friday when I had been down 1.5. So getting on today, I assumed I'd be about even w/yesterdays - ya know, give or take. Well when I got on I was -6.6... hmmmm, so I rebooted and tried again, -6.2... can't be right, tried one more time and got -6.5...

I WAS DOWN 6+ POUNDS!!! I mean, I tried it 3 times, it's gotta be right... rIgHt?!? In reality I was -4 from last week since I was +2 yesterday. So I asked Johnny and he said that you lose on recovery days b/c your body needs time to readjust and recognize all the work you've done. So the most lbs that I dropped was over the weekend when I didn't do a single workout in 3 days. Insane! I guess that answers my question about rest days. I think I'll keep em in there!

One thing I do really like about the Wii is that it tells you every time you weigh in how far you are from your goal. I am 9 lbs from my goal! Just keep truckin'!
Miss Wii will be on my list if that's the case! Get through the next couple days and it's PaRtY time for you!!! Bust your ass to get a workout in before your buddy gets in town, you'll be proud of yourself for doing so :)
