someone chop off my legs, please!!! November 19, 2008
I dont remember the last time I was this sore!!! I mean, i can barely get up off the couch. sitting down on the toilet is like pure torture! That spin class totally kicked my ass yesterday, and boy am i paying for it today!! I’ve had sore muscles before…..but this is rediculous! I could hardly walk today little own go work out…so needless to say today was a no work out day for me. I guess I’ll just have to make up for it this weekend. I do still want to continue doing the spin class because it is now such a challenge for me. I guess i like a challenge.. who’d have thought? I just hope my muscles can get use to it pretty quickly. It will definetely help me in this crazy journey of mine. what a workout! makes me wonder if what i was doing before was enouph? I think i over did it a little. It sucks because that one work out, has already made me miss a day. tomorrow i am determine to go work out if it kills me (which it probably will) but, i will take it easy. maybe the treadmill and a little stairmaster if i’m up to it. its wierd how i did that spin class yesterday, and then tonight on the biggest loser, they had the black team doing a spin class for their last chance workout! did you see colleen? She was going crazy on that bike! It made my legs cramp up just watching her, lol. I can’t believe amy voted her off instead of that evil troll, Vicky!! wtf??
Today was good, except i had a little too much popcorn. DH bought one of those holiday tins with 3 different kinds of popcorn in it. THANKS A LOT! I love popcorn! I just had to not eat again after that….I think it is still within my calories tho. I am not like crazy strict when it comes to counting my calories (maybe I should be) but, I try to focus more on eating superfoods/ whole foods. So when i eat junk like popcorn……even tho it may still be within my calories…..I feel like crap anyway. There is no nurtritional value in popcorn, therefore I should not have eaten it! period….. well, I am far from perfect.
B- fruit smoothie (strawberry, blueberry, pear, and banana, blended up)
L- small bowl of left over spaghetti (wholegrain noodles, and no meat sauce)
S- popcorn, ugh….
D- tuna with onion, relish, and fat free mayo, on low fat crackers
S- more popcorn….(sigh)
It’s great you worked out so hard you’re sore - but yes, give yourself time to recover too.
on the popocorn (or any holiday temptation) here are some of what I’ve done that have worked for me — I’ve thrown away (in the TRASH) equal amount to what I ate jsut so there would be less left for the next time. What difference does it make in the trash or in your belly, either way it’s gone (and one way it’s not adding calories to your diet). So have a cookie, toss a cookie. 2 fewer cookies in the box next time you open it. The other (works less often) is to just throw it away altogether. If your DH bought it you coudl tell him to keep it in his car or at his office.
Whatever you do eat, make sure you ENJOY it. Nothing is worse than feeling guilty over food you inhaled without tasting or didn’t even like…
I have done the toilet torture before too…:) Not exactly fun! But hey! At least you got to keep the seat on your bike for your class! My jaw just dropped when Jillian took their seats!!! AAAAHHH!!! And I couldn’t believe Amy didn’t take Vicky out…I think she made a huge mistake!!! As for the popcorn…well…fiber is good…and they say lowfat popcorn is good…probably not the kind that comes in those pretty tins…but still…
Great job!!!
It’s so great that you are in workout mode!
I remember when i used to exercise a lot, it made me feel so strong.
Don’t feel bad about skipping today since your legs are sore, it means they are building muscle.

I agree with you — why the heck didn’t Amy vote Vicki out? She must have thought that she had made enemies with Vicki, Heba and Ed by voting Vicki’s husband out, and she probably felt she’d win them back by voting out Coleen instead of Vicki, and not make any enemies on the black team in the process since they would have to assume her loyalty was with her blue team.
