Silly me
I have exercised for the past 3 days as I’d planned. This morning I couldn’t make it to they gym so I took the dogs for a walk this evening. I was planning to go for longer, but I didn’t feel like walking in the rain. My beagle doesn’t like water except to drink and was not behaving very well. I did still get my minimum cardio in. Wasn’t planning on doing any weights today so I’m still on track. Now the silly part, or down right stupid. I hadn’t lifted weights in about 6 weeks but that never crossed my mind when I went in to do my work out on Wednesday or Thursday. I didn’t adjust the weight down just slightly to factor inactivity in. OMG! I have never been so sore! I have really got to think about things a little bit sometimes but not over think them to the point of talking myself out of them. I must admit, it feels good to know that I’ve accomplished what I set out to do this week. I may be sore, but it will definitely make me stronger. I’ve also made the decision not to slack off on the weekends. Saturdays I probably won’t do more than 30 minutes because they’re always really busy, but Sundays aren’t. Well, this Sunday is, but that is because I’m doing my first 5K walk. Just hoping hubby doesn’t have to work because I don’t want to take the kids in a stroller.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Good job on completing what you set out to do Diane! Good luck with your 5K!
Congratulations on keeping a pledge to you! That’s so important, and completely underrated. A tip for you on the weight training - I find that if I take a few days off, I need to stretch A LOT MORE when I first go back. Keep up the great work, and good luck with the 5k. ELLEN
Good luck on the 5k. Take the weights slow at first.
Have a fun day tomorrow and tell us all about it. 5k, huh? That’s wonderful and I hope you have some nice weather.
Lots of kudos!!!
