So i am on the quest of getting into shape! I started this quest about a month ago watching what i ate, but now i am moving onto other things ... exercising. I started working out my upper body and now i have moved on to the lower body. I have to tell you...i am WAY out of shape. I did 20 sit-ups and 50 leg crunches as a start. The squats came next then the running. I did really well. I wasn't tired at all, UNTIL...the next day and night! Golly, what happened?!? I was walking around like an old lady. I couldn't stand up straight, my legs couldn't straighten out, at all, and my lower back was cramping like crazy. I started to panic on Saturday, when i found out that my body couldn't do the most simple thing...walking. I had rubber legs! I thought to myself, this is no good i need to walk or something ... get these muse ls working again. So i went for a hour and half walk. I have to say i think this was also a mistake. By the time i came home...my legs just didn't want to go up stairs or anything. I sat on the couch and just thought...ugh. Working out sucks.
I know that i must have done too much all at once. I really thought my legs could handle the work load....they carry me around all day. This was a big wake up call to work out slowly. I will continue to work out, but i think i should spread out the days. Maybe not everyday but every other.
Why does being healthy have to be so much work? :)
Love,
mia

Mia - I have to say that my favorite workout has been, and always will be, nursing. 500 calories a day for sitting on a couch with a baby at my breast. I get to watch anything I want or read a book. Fabulous! I wish all workouts were so simple!
The runner up is working out in my dreams. Let me tell you - I could win American Gladiators!
