Joanna - 1-26-10

I'll echo Mindy's comments - HOLY HAMSTRINGS! This is the most sore I've been the whole time - I can hardly walk. I can't believe that I'd feel so sore from a few sets of dead lifts....but I truly feel like I'm walking like a 90 year old lady - and forget trying to bend over for anything....

I was really disappointed in how I felt in my run today. I felt great yesterday, but today I just hurt. I hurt all along it and I kind of wimped out. I had a really hard time breathing, saw stars, got dizzy, thought I was going to throw up...yeah - it felt lousy. Here's hoping tomorrow feels better and that I can pull it together.

Food today:

1. fruit/yogurt/protein shake (my hubby has started making these for me every morning while I'm working out. It helps me so much to have something he hands me as I walk in the door from Leslie's - love him!!!)
2. hamburger with brown rice, added green beans and some ketchup (not the *best* choice, but not the wrost either)
3. apple with peanut butter & beef jerky
4. cottage cheese & ?
5. cabbage salad with chicken
6. protein bar

Gratitudes:

1. FRESH air! I have my bedroom window open right now just because the fresh air feels so awesome. My house heats up like a sauna most days and on a nice one like today all I want is to let in some fresh air and breathe it in. Ahhhhh!
2. HOT baths - I could live in the bathtub. Give me a great big water bottle (or diet Dr Pepper - I won't lie), a good book, some music, a candle, maybe my laptop set up with movies on it....and I could just move in.
3. Quiet time. My hubby is taking my boys up north to my mother-in-law tomorrow for a few days. She's been begging to spend time with her grandkids, my hubby was heading up that direction anyway - and I get a few days of absolute quiet. I have a feeling I'm going to miss them right away, but I also know I won't miss all of the noise....
