So......Sore.......

Gah, it hurts whenever I try to move. I guess it's from all the shock my muscles have been undergoing in the past 2 days due to all of this sudden exercise. 2 more workouts for the week, and a hell of a lot more to go for the entire summer.

This morning was quite comical. I wake up to the sound of my phone's alarm as usual. I try to extend my hand to the nightstand, only to rear it back in a shot of pain and general soreness. Then I tried sitting up, only to be pushed back down because my abs hate me. My sister even came in and made no effort to try and help me get up. I tried going back to sleep, but the pain wouldn't let me. Gradually, I gained enough energy to turn on my belly. I stopped for 5 minutes or so before rolling out of bed onto the floor.

My workout buddy Sergio and I worked out our legs today, seeing that we were both still really sore in our upper bodies (to be worked on tomorrow). I've learned that I have stronger legs than I thought; I maxed out at a little over 200lbs on the leg press, and my calves weren't tingling at all after working those out. My quads were hurting a lot more than I expected during leg extensions, but the pain is good. Burned some calories on an elliptical, and did some more leg workouts. We finished our day by eating some salad that I enjoyed greatly, and finished it in about 10 minutes. For the rest of the day, sitting down and walking up and down stairs have been increasingly difficult: a sure sign that the workout has done its job.

Man, this is weird. Me talking about exercise and eating healthy, I mean. Ah well, change is good. I'm going to be keeping this up all summer long. Watch out world, I'm getting healthier!

Time for some Sally's!
