I woke up today and could not move. Literally hurt to move, breath, even think. Okay, so not that bad, but took me about 10 minutes or so to get out of bed. Took me a good minute just to work up enough nerve to even attempt to sit down on the toilet. And YOU KNOW how bad you gotta go in the morning. ugh! I'm hurting soooo bad. I have been at this plateau for a while now and it's driving me crazy. I joined back to Ladies Total Fitness (along with half the ladies in my church). I have been doing pretty good at work in their gym. Before we left for London/Paris I was going every day either before/after work or on my lunch break. Sometimes both. And in the last year and half or so I've lost almost 70 lbs. Great accomplishment, I understand that, but frustrating as CRAP when you are watching what you eat, working out almost daily and still not loosing weight. Yes, the "you're gaining muscle" excuse... well, when is the point that you stop gaining muscle? Will I eventually become one huge-mungus muscle? Anyway, so I boycotted when I got back. Only for a week though.
Anyhow, so I thought -- I'm used to working out, I've got some good lean muscle mass according to the little BMI thing, lets just try Body Pump (and at 6am I might add-- now THAT was a struggle in and of itself). The workout itself was not so bad, but as the day progressed my legs and my butt slowly got more and more sore. Not to mention they about gave out on my during the work out. So this morning.... yeah - cannot move. And guess what?! I had another appointment this morning with my trainer Michelle at 8am. She just followed me around the weight circuit and made sure I knew how to adjust everything and properly lift the weights so I did not injure myself. Oh, it was a struggle. But I did it, and glad too -- because at least now I can walk. A couple hours ago I could not even do that. Ohhhh but I'm sore!!!
Anyone for Body Pump tomorrow at 6am?? I must be glutton for punishment. I'll rest over the weekend though. By Michelle's orders. She said I'm pushing myself too hard and I need to let my body rest. I'll figure out a good workout routine to fit my schedule... along with all the other stuff that I need to get organized in my life. hahaha...
So.. plan for tonight: After work I've got to go fix Grammie's hair so she can be all pretty-fied for traveling down to Mississippi for the funeral tomorrow. Speaking of which - please pray for my family. My great Aunt Mary passed away yesterday. This would be Grammie's, brother's wife. His name is Jimmy Cooper, and he's absolutely devastated as you can imagine. They are saying it was Congestive Heart Failure, but we think there may have been some ... I guess lack of care at the hospital that added to the situation. Some of you may know Bro. Dino Graham (not sure if that's spelled right)... this is his mother - Mary Cooper. My mom's planning to go and I'm trying to talk her into stopping through here on her way... we'll see.
Back to my plan -- after Grammie's, I'm gonna try to figure out this blasted camera (while watching CSI and ER of course-- waaaaay excited about the writer's strike being over) and get some pictures on here. Some of my far away friends are getting a little aggravated that I have yet to post some. I'm sorry, I'm working on it.
Well, I better head to the bookstore and catch up on some work before I head to my real job - ha! Wish me luck ...
