...But these thighs were NOT made for squattin'. Wow. So here we are. The day after the "intro" personal trainer session. True to her word, I would hate her tomorrow. And I do. Yowza. I was planning on taking the today off from the gym anyway because as I have been told, "the recovery is just as important and the work". Well, you don't have to tell me twice! I did feel a LITTLE guilty today when I came home and plopped myself down on the couch, but even if I wanted to, there was no way I was going to be able to do anything meaningful today. I guess this throbbing in every muscle, front and back, from hip to knee is my "reward" for working hard yesterday. I keep telling myself that it will all be worth it, but as I sit here with my legs elevated and heat pads on them I have second thoughts. I'm all for the "no pain, no gain" BS even though I rarely follow it, but one day of hard work followed by several days of not being able to do anything seems a bit counterproductive don't you think!? Next week when I really start training (oh God help me....) I'm going to talk to her about ways to ease this muscle cramping and pain. It's obvious that I am WAY more out of shape then I even realized, hence the 3-4 days of being crippled after 30 minutes of strength training, but there have to be something else I can do so that I can work hard like every one else!
In other news, my pants are continuing to get bigger. They are not BIG by any means, but breathing is no longer just a luxury, and I no longer come home with the red ring of death around my midsection.... you know what I'm talking about.... some of you anyway! I am really hoping that I can lose another 10lbs within the next 5 weeks so my the time I go home in the last week of March, I will be down 20lbs. But we'll see. If the 2ISH pound loss a week continues, I should be able to do it. But we will have to see what my body thinks of that idea..... Right now, its too been enjoying it's chubby status.....
38 days down...142 to go!
