Today WILL be a resting day. My body is going to hold a mutiny if I don’t. I haven’t worked this hard since high school. It doesn’t know what to do with itself!!

Yesterday was a running day and my progress is on my C25k page. At the risk of being redundant, I ran. It hurt. I did it though. It stopped hurting once I got started. After I ran I hit the weight machines. I think I used every machine avaliable for arms, backs, and shoulders. I did about 3 sets of 15 reps on every machine. The weights varied depending on which machine I was on. Well, maybe not EVERY machine, but I worked every muscle there is. By the time I was done, I felt if I lifted another weight I would throw up. I wanted to hop back on the elliptical afterwards but they were all taken so I jumped on a stationary bike for 15 minutes. My knees were crunching though (literally, I could hear and feel the cartalidge crunching) so I felt it best to stop. My upper body isn’t so sore which is surprising. I guess I’m getting stronger. Or maybe I need to up the weights. I just don’t want to overdo it. Slow and steady……

If I do anything today, it will be Debbie Siebers Slim and 6 pack or whatever she calls it. Basically, it’s an 11 minute ab workout. Lots and lots of crunches. Low impact. Hubby and I both agree we need to give our bodies a break. He may go do cardio, but no weights. We’ll go tomorrow and then I’ll go again Thursday to play volleyball. Perhaps I will have a hard body to go along with my 10lb weight loss!!
