I'm assuming you've all had the happy event in your life where you have been able to watch Pride and Prejudice. BBC Version all the way! Ah, Mr Darcy....what a guy! I forget the mum's name in the series, but she's a serious drama-queen, and seems to need the aid of her 'smelling salts' to bring her back from the depths. Anyway, I just thought of that line as I was waiting for this page to load, so I think it has some sub conscious connection to how I'm feeling today. On. Death's. Door.
Ok, so that's a slight exaggeration. I am feeling pretty sore though. Darn fitness.
I went to the gym on Sunday, did some weights and other buff stuff. Actually, I used the machines to do the weights, I don't bench press, I think I would accidentally kill myself if I didn't have a spotter. My pt makes me bench press sometimes, by the end of it, she's practically holding the bar for me, and I'm just going through the motions...so doing it 'solo' would almost certainly end in death, or at least some kind of nasty injury. I even have to use one of those giant gym balls to do squats, cause I still haven't worked out how to do them properly. I have to put the gym ball between my back and a wall, and roll down it, to try and teach myself proper formation. Who knew squats could be so hard??
Anyway, gym on Sunday. Gym on Monday (yesterday). Gym today. Today I went to 2 group classes and did some strength training on the gym equipment. I am so hardcore! Hence why my body and its weak muscles are protesting pretty severely this arvo.
Group classes are a major source of embarrassment for me, mostly due to my extreme lack of coordination, so I only go to the classes that my pt runs, cause at least she already knows I'm unco, it's not a shock or anything. If I went to one of the other trainers classes, they might see me attempting to do what everyone else was doing, and wonder how I ever managed to walk up the few stairs to get into the gym, with my clear lack of coordination. Eventually, I will work up the courage to go to a different class/es...I was thinking about going to a 'fitbox' class on Thursday morning, before my pt session. I've still got 2 sleeps to decide. I wonder if they have medics on stand by, just in case one of the participants accidentally punches another participant in the face...you know, just as a hypothetical scenario ;)
Meal plan is going well! A day and a half in...Protein shakes are definitely my favourite times of the day. It feels like you're having a normal milkshake (almost), and I look forward to 10:30am and 8:30pm so much! In fact, I was so excited on my drive home from the gym, knowing that when I got home I would get to have a protein shake, that I gave a little fist pump. True story. Only just over 3 hours til I get to have another one! *virtual fist pump*
So, the moral of the story is that I'm sore, but pretty stoked with my efforts for the day.
I'm off to do some more planning for school. Hope you're all having a splendid day!!
