I totally would have written before now IF I HAPPENED TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!
However, since starting FUEL on Sunday(Monday for the workouts) I have lost all ability to write a coherent thought. How do you like how I put the days of the week in there - it's not like I started YESTERDAY!!! Oh wait - I did..
So I thought about writing earlier today, but my arms were like jello and SORE as HECK! My brain wouldn't break through the PAIN and AGONY! Ok a bit of an exaggeration - but only a bit. I thought today would be better. HA...haha....hahahahhahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That would be a big old NO!!! O....M.....G.....Let's just say it's a good thing I don't type with my feet. I'm not even exactly sure I know how I'm going to get up from this chair!
On top of all of this legwork, I've been doing squats for the last 2 days too. 200 of them to be exact...yes, I said TWO HUNDRED! That's from someone who has never done ONE! And that's ON TOP of today's work out - which included 50 squats, 50 sumo squats, 20 each leg of lunges - reverse, front and side lunges....my quads hurt. A lot....a lot.....a lot!!
And remember how I told you that I was a runner? Well I really AM a runner now. For the last 2 days I've been a real runner. Well, a real runner that runs for 30 seconds, 1 minute and then 2 minutes...but HEY, it's more than I've done in the past forever! And if I can stretch those seconds into longer and longer minutes I'll have that 5K in no time. Did I mention that I don't like to run? Well yeah, I still don't like to run. I'm hoping that comes with time - and real running shoes. My feet HURT. I'm going to a running shop this weekend to be fitted for the best type of shoes. My feet hurt along the inside of my foot, which leads me to believe I run/walk on the inside of my feet! Brilliant I know!
So there you have it. 2 days into this and I'm in agony. I'll push through it though. I still don't like exercise. I'm still really hoping I'll like exercise the more I do it. I'm committed though! For 13 weeks baby, I'm COMMITTED!
Holy crap!!!!! 200 ?!?!
ReplyDeleteI started running last summer and I found Brooks running shoes to be awesome! When I brought them home, my husband said Brooks running shoes were what he ran cross country and track in. Check them out :)
ReplyDeleteI am sooooo happy for you! It is hard to start and harder to stick with it, but I know you can do it. Since I have known you, you have proven to be the most honest, caring, loving person. You have cared for so many others along the way, nuturing them, juggling so many positions: loving wife, amazing mother, super employee, devoted servant, wonderful daughter, best friend to dozens. The time has come to be loving, amazing, super, devoted, wonderful, and best to yourself! I am so happy to see you making your health a priority. What can I do to support you!? YOU GO GIRL!!
