Soreness

I held no illusions going into training. I was (still am) overweight and out of shape. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but I guess I never really considered I'd be hurting constantly. I'm pushing myself while I workout, not enough to injure myself or anything. Just that little extra bit that I know I can do if I'm really honest with myself. So sometimes the end of a workout can be a little painful or tough but I'm muscling through.

I'm realizing now though that I am pretty consistently sore. My arms and abs (they are in the somewhere) after my strength workouts. My knees and feet after my runs. My shoulders and sides after my swims. My lady business after a bike (little seat, a lot of me) and also my feet sometimes. So basically I'm just sore always. I know it's generally a good thing. It reminds me that I am working hard and making my goal a reality, slowly but surely. I just have to whine a little because that's just what I do. So...WAAHHH my everything hurts! :)

Since I am sore all the time, I've decided to start doing some yoga in the morning. I bought a 4 pack DVD set from Amazon a while ago; because it was cheap. It has AM/PM yoga, beginner's yoga, yoga for weight loss, and yoga for stress relief. I'm not very flexible and I think the stretching will do me good, maybe help with the soreness or prevent it some. I'm also considering meditation. Just a simple 5 minutes a day. It's supposed to help relieve stress and I sorta feel like a have a lot of it so I'll give it a try.

So let's recap: I'm really sore and I'm gonna start doing yoga. If you're reading this today (4/4) stop lazing about on the Internet and go enjoy the sun! It's really nice out today! (At least here in E.P)
