LOL - usually I confuse my husband with big words like that. Turns out I could just make this stuff up and he would have no idea!
So I was going to lift this morning - workout 2 of stage 7 - but my legs will just not quit. I can honestly say I have never felt this level of fatigue and soreness in my life. I have had plenty of DOMS but this time takes the cake. So I am going to give it about 12 hours more and do it after work. Normally the soreness doesn't bother me and I just lift anyway, but its so bad I am afraid of doing more damage. I tried stretching more last night but it still hurts to walk today.
My husband and I were going to ride bikes last night. I made it about 15 minutes and had to go back giving us a total of about 30. My legs just wouldn't go! I felt like such a loser having to go back. I HATE not finishing a workout that I set out to do. I felt so bad I kept apologizing to him. I told him I owe him a bike ride this weekend.
Well I just got done reading the womens's challange sign up thread with all the pics. Man, do I feel like a loser. I feel like the only one who didn't go for it. Everyone is so motivating! I guess one of the main reasons is I am not sure what my goals are and deep down and probably afraid of failing. The truth hurts! Lately though I have felt so much better about myself. I feel more in control of my diet which is the biggest problem for me. I have never actually been on a "diet" while most of my friends have at some point. I never really had to. I am no where near figuring all this stuff out but I seem to be getting a better grasp each day.
Yesterday eats were good. We had chicken breast on the grill and corn on the cob. I was actually under my goal calories. I am still feeling quite bloated though. Could it still be from this weekend?
TMI warning ahead: I am on BCP's and have always noticed the second week is the worst for bloating. The first seems to be the best and that is when I got my low weight last week. I kind of hate being on them - not sure how much longer I want to be. I wonder if anyone else has any experience with this? I would never blame the pills for weight gain but when I started them is when I gained about 5 pounds 6 years ago. I always wonder if I went off would I lose anything? And I wonder how they affect fat loss. Probably very little to none and I haven't ever found any studies that say one way or another. Hmmmm just something to think about I guess.
I really like Beach Plums aka Christina's listing of good things each post in her log. Positive attitude can go a long way. So here I am copying this idea
Good things:
1. Even though I am sore and hobbling around like an old woman, its a constant reminder of my hard work.
2. Its getting so much easier to avoid buying junk at the grocery store. We were at Target last night and it always amazes me how much junk is there. Every time we go I swear there are new 100 calorie packs and other gimmicks. What a waste of time to spend 100 calories on 3 mini chips ahoy cookies when you can eat something better that will fill you up!
