Oh, I am so sore today. SOOOOOOOO sore!! You see, I raised my weights on Saturday and really worked my upper body. Feeeeeeeeeel the burn! Love it. Then, on Monday I started C25K again...and W1D1 kicked my proverbial butt. *ninja kick*
So my legs were sore right away. I have a rather wonky hip abductor on my left side, so I have to really stretch it AND ice it after I run to prevent inflammation. Fun stuff. To ice the, uh, cake, I decided to renew my heavy bag boxing workout yesterday. Yeah...I now hurt from my fingertips all the way to my toes. *sigh*
But it's so very worth it. Yes, I had to take a Bayer AM before my run this morning in order move enough to finish W1D2, but at least the run and subsequent stretching returned minimal flexibility to my body. I'm no Gumby this evening, but at least I'm not creaking like Dorothy's Tin Man. I really shouldn't complain; EVERY workout this week has been exhilarating. The weather here is beautiful--70s and clear blue skies--and being outside has done wonders for my soul. Plus, I really do love exercise, especially when I can push myself.
Endorphins are AWESOME!! *happy dance*
Remember how I mentioned earlier this week about how food was going to be a challenge? Oh, yeah. I was so right. Monday AND Tuesday I was a munching machine. Granted, there's only so much damage you can do without eating meat or dairy, but I still ate more than I normally do. I felt physically full after supper both days and I've come to really despise that feeling...makes me feel sluggish. Blech. Today was a vast improvement, however, so I'm looking to finish out the week without any more munchy madness. I can do it!! *fist pump*
