Today is Sunday - aka - rest day and this new program phase is really intense. I was a little sore during the week then Thursday came with shoulders and calves - so needless to say my calves hurt like hell on Friday and guess what Friday is? Yep LEG DAY - OK, I whined and cried my way through it- I'm not even kidding when I say whined and whimpered like a little kid - oh and that was only after the 3rd exercise and 3 more to go. I was in pain before, during, and after. I knew that wasn't a good sign for what was to come.
So Saturday I hit the gym for my cardio interval training and core - by the way my core is still burning from Wednesday's core workout. I am sure u can see where this is all going - straight down hill. I finish my interval cardio, legs are on fire and I am screaming inside. Then comes more core work and my abs are bleeding on the inside I'm thinking. I finish and guess what -------- I survived but had a full day ahead of me with the girls and moving new furniture in my place, etc. At this point after the workout and I get home, I can't even walk downstairs to do laundry without being in extreme pain every single stair. My girls feel so bad that they are bending to get things for me and going to get the laundry just so I don't walk downstairs with tears in my eyes. I finish my evening with a hot bath in Epsom salts in hopes that would help - not really :(
Today I wake up, can barely get out of my bed - wow - I thought yesterday was bad. I find it amazing that after a year of running and some weight training that now with this program I could hurt so intensely. So I don't think I will forget Mother's Day this year because I had so much to do and was in pain every step of the way.
These are just a few of the joys of wanting something so bad - at any cost. It all starts again tomorrow :)
Pain is only temporary!
