I had a post yesterday that I typed on a word document and failed to paste it here. Today, as I was getting ready to paste, I got a call that my daughter was sick and needed to be picked up from daycare. So much for that. I guess I will start from scratch.
I worked legs yesterday. Wow, that was rough. Previously I hated working legs because it hurt so much. Once I figured out how much I could lift, I loved it. Then I got out of working out (think I had a baby). Now, I have to admit, I hate it again. I was using the leg extension machine and only had 10 lbs on it and wanted to cry. My quads were burning. It wasn't pain, just an uncomfortable feeling. I hate it! Stay tuned and in a few months I will love legs again. I have nice legs anyway, so I should enjoy improving them. My hamstrings are tight. Always have been. I am not sure why it kills me to work the quads. Of course they're sore today, as are the hams. I LOVE DOMS. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The second day is always the best!
I didn't workout today. I walked to my car, was headed to the gym, then life happened. I wont go into the details here, but I had a melt down and I couldn't go into the gym like that. I needed to get it out of my system. I needed to just sit there, paralyzed, as life happened. The thing is, this has been my case far too often for the past few months. I get ready to go to the gym, then I fall apart--I am just too upset to move. Today I had a nice little cry session whereas the other days my mood is just so terrible that I can't function. I know I need to push myself, make myself get out of my office chair, and go to the gym. Today I needed to just put my car in reverse and drive to the gym. Surely I would've felt better right? Are you able to workout if you're mad/sad/etc? If so, does it make you feel better? I know the whole working out releases endorphins. I get that. But I want to hear from you--are you able to do it?
Here's to hoping I make it to the gym tomorrow. I have every intention of going. Wish me luck:)
