OUCH!

I did complete day 3 on Wednesday.  I am sore!  My arms and chest hurt.  It hurts to drive (well, just making turns,) walk up steps, and especially to get out of bed.  Or switching positions during the night.  It's a good hurt, it's just weird how things hurt that you didn't even know could. 

I realized I'm starting at such a different place this time around, and I probably jumped in a bit too fast.  Last year I did not have a pull up bar for the first month or so, so for those excercises I was just lifting my little weights (so that I was at least doing something.)  I only had 5 pound weights for several weeks, too, so when they said "choose a heavier weight" for lifting, I was only using 5 lbs each time.  Actually, I think I had 3 lbs too, so 5 was my "heavy" weight!  Ha!  I couldn't practice pull ups, and when I did get a pull up bar I wasn't able to do much with it for quite some time!  This time I still have a little bit of that strength so I was able to do more push ups, and partial pull ups (still using those muscles!)  I also have a variety of weights now.  Going from nothing to 8, 10, 12, and 15 pound weights must be too much.  It's not that I'm missing any workouts by being a little sore, I do it anyway.  But I still cannot jog or do jumping jacks in the warmups, and a good warmup is pretty important.  Even though I haven't done any ab or serious leg work yet my legs and abs are already a little sore, too.  Not complaining really, it's still such a great feeling!  Just taking notes for myself :)

Today is yoga day.. that should be interesting!  I actually enjoy the calmness of it, but the intensity of the workout is anything but calm.  I do like to dim the lights and light a candle though, it all helps.  It is a 90 minute video, so I have to really budget my time well so that I'm starting it early enough to finish it before anyone gets home from school or wakes from a nap.  I can't have any distractions for this one.
