Hump Day!

Surprisingly, I feel good considering I was feeling day one pain from last night's workout starting about 1 pm today.  As long as I don't move, I'm fantastic!  Trying to get out of the chair, the car or go to the bathroom....I am like my grandmother with the broken hip, using whatever I can to leverage myself up.  Once I get going I'm alright, but changing from up to down or down to up...OMG!!!!!

Tonight, the rest of the group was just as sore as me.  We had a different trainer today.  We learned more about the different types of typical exercises that will be included in the various WOD's (that's 'workout of the day' in case you missed it).  That was our warm up for tonight including box jumps, jump rope, kettle ball swings, wall balls and some different types of lifts with the weight bar.  I will have to get a jump rope to practice my DU's - double unders.  I love it when I get code words.  So basically, not only do I have to jump rope (making all my jiggly parts jiggle a lot more), but I have to at the same time, work on my coordination to be able to pass the jump rope under my feet twice in one jump.  And this is where the low copay on medical visits comes in handy.....

The WOD was:

10 to 1
Dead lifts
Power Push

I used a 35 lb bar and could zip through the dead lifts, but the overhead lifts, my arms are like jelly.  I will definitely be a T-rex tomorrow....very little arm motion range.

After this week, I have to decide when I'll be fitting the classes into my schedule.  Getting there is a struggle, but I am hoping as the days get longer, traffic will improve so it's not so bad.  We'll see right?

Learning my lesson from last night, I ate at 4 so as to give enough time to digest before doing the workout.  Of course I was starving when I finally got home from class and from taking Alex to his dad's.  I was fairly good - scrambled eggs with wild onions, garlic powder and some cheese sprinkled in.  DELICIOUS!  The trainer tonight asked if we had any nutrition questions.  She said that people tend to put the nutritional changes last when implementing health changes, when really they need to do that first.  I mentally want to, but convincing that evil twin that craves a box of chocolate covered donuts at 1 am, that's gonna be a struggle!

Well off to bed...hopefully I'll be able to get out of bed in the morning....come on Day 2 pain!
