I am sore in places I never knew I could be sore and I hope to recover soon. Following my weight gain panic I went a little overboard on the whole working out thing. I have been running, lifting, doing push ups til I ache and crunches until I want to vomit. I am doing all I can to get back to where I want to be. Now I am also paying the price.
Lets see, my calves ache, by abs (hidden under the adipose layers) hurt, my arms feel contracted and I do not even want to talk about my inner thighs--ouch! I popped ibuprofen and stretched but the soreness is full on.
I have decided to take a day off between workouts, in attempts to recover. I am obsessed with the damn scale - weighing myself at least three times a day. However, it has been kinder since I am watching everything I eat and counting loosely my calories.
Today, I ran four miles and I am not doing anything else the rest of the day. In fact, I am heading out a little later to enjoy a few adult beverages with a friend as a reward for all my hard work!
Tomorrow, I will go all out again..
