I.was.so.sore.this.morning.
I woke up and tried to get out of bed. I guess it just had been so long since I worked my muscles out the way that I did yesterday, the revolted by being stiff and sore and hurting. It was so great!
I love the feeling of stiff sore muscles. I mean not to the point where I'm crying or anything, but just knowing that I worked them out made me feel really great. You know what is even more great about it? Even with all the stiffness and soreness that I was feeling this morning, I still didn't try and talk myself out of doing exercises! Or more importantly, I didn't have to talk myself into doing them. I *wanted* to!
I hope this feeling stays up for a long, long time. I worked out to my new DVD I bought with a christmas gift card. It is Denise Austin's Pilates: for every body and it's excellent!
She did do moves that were beyond my skill level so I know that I can progress with this program. She did go rather quickly through the entire program which kind of left me behind a few times. However, I kind of liked that she actually changed things up so quickly because it didn't make the exercise time seem really long. It was moving, I didn't get bored, and just when I thought that I couldn't do a move anymore she was on to something else. I liked that to.
I had bought some resistance bands at Walmart to go along with the video as well but I should of just bought the band off her website because mine are just too short. You can do the exercises without them of course, and with weights in some moves, but the band makes it more fun, at least for me. I feel like I'm getting the most out of the workout.
After I was done, I wasn't quite as sore anymore. I guess because Pilates sometimes feels like nice stretching exercises to me. They are hard for me to do still because of my belly and fat legs but I'm getting there. She also did lots of stretching before and after and that did wonders for my sore muscles.
All in all I give it an A+ for today. I'll see how I continue to like it once I've done it several times, especially with the right type of stretch band.
We got our couch! We bought it from Sunshine's roommate (is that one word?) and he and Sunshine's boyfriend brought it over today. It's nice, not fantastic or anything but it will do for us nicely. It's a sofa bed couch and is super heavy. They had the hardest time getting it into the house. The guy we bought it from hurt his back. I hope he is going to be ok! I guess his grandparents had it custom made so it is really good quality framework and bedding.
I was going to call the hunk at work and tell him they brought it but I think that I will just let him be surprised when he gets home. He thought he was going to have to go help them tomorrow to bring it over.
Tomorrow is his birthday. He's the big 3-7 but he hasn't let on to me that it is bothering him, if it is. I don't know. He's been going gray since high school and is completely gray now. Varying shades of gray though so he has this salt and pepper type look. He lets me dye his hair and my gosh, he looks so much younger. Well he actually looks in his 30's and not late 40's or older. I never tell him that to his face though. I don't know if he would think it was mean and I certainly wouldn't want him to take it that way.
We were going to have his friends over tomorrow but it looks like only one of his friends will make it with his wife and daughter. The other friends either have to work that night or they are going to have been comming back from a concert the previous night and anticipate hangovers. They did say they would try and make it if they could though and that they were going to try.
I did pretty aweful on eating last night. I was going to make spagetti but the meat wasn't defrosted as much as I thought it was. The kidlet was begging me for the frozen pizza in the freezer so I decided that I'd just let the hamburger defrost overnight and cook the pizza. When it was finished there were little pools of oil from the pepperoni on top. So I got a paper towel and start soaking up the greese (essentially) from the pizza. I kept thinking, "If I have to wipe the grease off the pizza I shouldn't be eating it." but did I listen to myself? Ohhhhh no.
After I had eaten one slice and started on the second, the hunk got home and wanted spagetti because he didn't like the type of pizza I had made. (He likes hamburger on his pizza, I'm a pepperoni girl) So, I had to defrost the meat in the micro and cook up some spagetti for him.
Now here is my insane logic. The kidlet ate one piece of pizza and didn't want anymore. I continued to eat the rest of the pizza thinking that if I got full on pizza I wouldn't want to eat spagetti too. So I finished the rest of the dang pizza! All of it! Granted, it wasn't a super large one, it was a medium size Tombstone, but still! I don't know what would of been better though, 2 small slices with just a little spagetti or the whole darn pizza. Probably the pizza.
Oh well there is nothing I can do about it now but I just amaze myself at what I will rationalize at a moment of weakness.
I subsequently had to tell the hunk to not let me eat any spagetti (like he would ever try to stop me!) because I ate pizza and I didn't need both. When I was putting leftovers away I snuck a few bites of spagetti while he wasn't looking and felt like such a terrible person that I was "hiding" my eating. I haven't done that in so long. It made me feel shameful. I know that the hunk wouldn't of said anything or even noticed for that matter and wouldn't much of cared but....it's the judgements we put on ourselves that we think are going through the heads of everyone else.
Aunt Flo made her usual peek-a-boo appearance a day or two ago but I think she is here to stay for a while now. I'm having some pretty hard cramps so I'm going to go take some midol and settle on the couch with a good movie or book!
