Last week was really a bust when it came to exercising. There just wasn't enough time to fit everything in. I had a MASSIVE amount of stuff to do before the party last Saturday-and anything other than that to-do list was just....not happening.
Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest. I hadn't planned on doing much, until I downloaded some awesome songs to put on my workout play list. DH headed outside with the kiddos and I got my workout gear on. I plugged in and let the music take me away.....
My biggest NSV was the fact that I ran/walked 2 miles in a little over 34 minutes. HOW COOL IS THAT??!! And added to that coolness I was able to run a minute and a half at 5 mph and a minute and a half at 5.5 mph. Needless to say that after this workout, I'm surprised that I didn't feel like passing out. The best thing though? Is that I felt so wonderful after it was done. I loved challenging myself to see just how far I could go.
In other words, I beat that crap out myself.
By Monday, I was in a lot of pain...but what did I expect right? The good/bad part of that is Monday is belly dancing night.....so as much as it hurt to shimmy away, it was probably the best thing that could of happened. It loosened up the muscles so that Tuesday things were a lot less painful than I thought they would be. And it wasn't just the usual spots that hurt, but ones that I wouldn't think would be affected.
You know what?
I can't wait to do it again. I suppose that makes me strange huh?
OH and PS: I'm not bothering to acknowledge my weight this week. Between swollen muscles and a visiting Aunty-there is no FREEKIN WAY ON EARTH I've gained 4 pounds in a week. In denial?....Yup and it's not just a river in Egypt.
