...but got up a minute later. My abs were really starting to feel the crunch from Mondays workout when I went to bed last night, but as I woke things seemed to have calmed down; as I could sit up on my own with out assistance.
Today I worked hard(er), better and even apologized to a mate who I feel I may have cheated a little out of a full work out because he was my partner and I don't feel I gave near 100% (or as close as I did today anyway) at our last workout.
I did 'run' (2 laps*) to warm up, but at only a slightly higher MPH than an enthusiastic mall walkers pace and then a second lap with weights. My body started aching and I had to really be mindful of breathing if about 1/4 of the way into the second (weighted) lap but I was encouraged knowing that when I got back I would be finished with the 'warm up' {{{nervous sweating emoji}}}
*by lap i mean an oval like square.. maybe 1/2 (or 1/4 even) the size of an actual track
I learned a lot this morning, maybe because I was training and allowing myself to be trained or maybe it is because I know that I am not in control of anything other than taking care of myself and my body is a large part of me...
Some takeaways from a day two:
+Mountain Climbers are easy until your Trainer shows you how to do them properly
+Burpees can suck it
+Twelve pounds in each hand quickly becomes 1,000 when doing weighted squats or overhead presses...or...well.........anything involving arms
+it is going to take me an extra three minutes to do anything involving sitting down or standing up for the next two days (seven minutes if a task involves any kind of a squat motion) Oddly enough, im not mad at squats...yet i think.
+ I do work well on a team, but better on a team that receives and gives encouragement (whatever the pace ) getting the work done.
My trainer complimented me on my increase in stamina and is "proud" of me!!! I must say I feel quite proud too!
Things are getting done in the mornings and bedtimes are just a little more respected. My body is sore but not achy which i think is a good thing; for me definitions are as such:
>sore is a subtle reminder to stretch have some water and that I'm doing something good for my body...
>achy means sick...
Through Him and from my heart
