Soreness Is The Body's Way of Saying Thank You

So says my 24 Hour Lift (a weight training class) teacher and my body thanked me Thursday. But, was especially thankful on Saturday.

My teacher just announced she'll be moving away. NOOOOO :( And her replacement will be teaching 24 hour has been replacing several of the 24 hour lift classes with body pump. Uggghhhh! I just hate body pump. I like the mix that 24 hour provides....hand weights, barbell, and pylometrics. Body pump is purely barbell.

I had a pretty good holiday weekend. We went to a wedding celebration weekend at the lake 3 hours away. The married couple rented a huge house and threw a reception party on saturday. The house had a pool and I was able to squeeze in a couple days of swimming for exercise. Does walking a huge outlet shopping mall also count as exercise? ;) I am happy to say I made good eating choices all weekend...I stopped and bought some healthy foods with me...

2 days away from the Zumba convention! I am soooo excited but I have so much to do before then...

Anywhoo...I need to lay it down! Going to get up early and walk...Trying to squeeze in one more 2 a day workout before my trip....

I Put In Work

I got up early this morning and walked 2.25 miles...Went to work, ran some errands, and last minute packed for the quick weekend trip we are making. Ate dinner.

By then it was 7pm and I was exhausted...I have had a very intense work week and had to take work home every night this week on top on that...I worked out M-F evenings and walked W-F mornings...

So...I decided to catch up on the blog-world...But, reading different posts about striving to be healthy >>>>>>> I was inspired to get up and work it out. And, I did indeed worked it out. Tricep extensions, chest presses, lat pulldowns, bicep curls, squats, leg extensions, bridges, lounges, dead lifts, leg lifts, squats, step-ups...

Now...I am indeed tired. But, I am happy that I challenged myself. There will be no regrets in the morning...
