Oh my goodness, I knew I was out of shape but I didn’t realize I was
this bad. Today I woke up sore, no sore does not even describe it properly, and
I don’t know what to call it. I know that I am not injured and it is from the
intense workouts but boy can I tell you I am looking forward to my day off from
the gym tomorrow. I even “dressed” down for work today because the thought of
wearing high heels made my body ache even more.
Last night we ended our work out doing crab crawls. If you don’t know
what that is let me see if I can explain it properly. Basically you balance on
your hands and feet with your front facing the ceiling and your hips thrust
upwards. In my head it looks a lot like in the movie The Exorcist when Linda
Blair walks down the stairs on her hand and feet backwards. It’s not that
intense and your back is not arched that high but in my head that’s what I’m
doing. And I have to say the way I feel today is probably how she felt after
her exorcism.
I must admit today was an emotional struggle with the “new lifestyle”.
I made a mistake and got on the scale today. I was on a weight loss program at
work and it was working but I needed something more. I wanted to get strong.
Anyway, I had not been on the scale for 3 weeks prior to starting this program
and in that time frame I gained 5 pounds. It’s a totally acceptable number
considering how I was eating the last 3 weeks but after 4 days of being on the
program I was hoping to see a little something showing my efforts were worth
it. I am getting rather frustrated reading about others losing 5 pounds in 3
days because they changed their eating habits. WTH? I changed mine and I still
show a gain??? Oh well, time to put on my big girl pants suck it up and keep
moving forward. I will succeed. I will do it. And I will be a Before and After.
On to day #5.
