Sore

Every cell in my body is sore today. Not painful, but sore--or better yet, I'm completely aware of my entire body. I don't feel like jello or jelly, but I am very aware.

I was going to work out today, then when I woke up and within three steps knew it was going to be one of those days, decided I'd do cardio later in the day instead of a cardio/weight tape. I can do cardio until the cows come home.

I don't think I'm even going to do a cardio today.

I did not work out that hard yesterday. I did use some weights, but light (3 pounds) and not on everything. I am taking it very easy--pushing myself, but I am very afraid of injury, and very conscious of not doing too much too soon.

My question is this: How on earth do the contestants on The Biggest Loser do it? I mean I'm heading for a nap shortly. How do they go on? I just cannot fathom the amount of exercise they do--and starting out cold. At least I had built up a pretty good endurance with aerobics through Richard Simmons, so I wasn't cold or green.

It boggles my mind. No pain, no gain? Well, I'm not in pain. Boomers (The FIRM Volume 6) is what I did yesterday, and it is tough--yet I modify. You can see a 8-minute clip of it on You Tube. I did use my sculpting bar which is 8 or 9 pounds. That must have made the difference. I do not use their tall box (14 inches!!!) I use my small step, which is 4.

All day today I have been obsessed with thoughts of The Biggest Loser. How do they walk around with all that work? How do they do it? Sheesh.

I can feel my muscles getting firmer, for which I am thrilled. I've never done weights or this type of exercising ever. I do love it. I do modify like crazy. I hope to build my endurance up.

I'm so glad I am not on The Biggest Loser. I would be labeled The Biggest Whiner. lol
