Today is rough already. My legs are so sore, it's hard to walk. I stayed up too late last night and I'm exhausted and my stomach feels weird. Day 2 of being whiny! Yay!
(note: I wrote this paragraph first thing in the morning - feeling much better now)
I didn't have training until 6:30 last night, so I did 50 minutes on the ellipticlimber (my new term for it) beforehand. I can definitely tell that my body is getting stronger and I'm able to do higher resistances. It was a good feeling. Then I went to the downstairs of the gym to meet Andy. He is a sadist, BUT he has me do things I never thought my body was capable of doing. I talked to him a little bit about how I'm frustrated with the scale. He said that since this much exercise is new to my body, there's a really good chance my body is in shock. I hope that's all it is. He had me do a billion squats combined with arm work. I did some dead lifts with a 25lb kettle bell. It was a rough one.
Even though the scale not reflecting my hard work really sucks, I do feel good. I've been eating perfectly, my back seems to be getting stronger, and I haven't had any real problems with it (knock on wood). This past Friday and Saturday it felt a little off, but I rested Sunday and I'm good as new I've ever been.
Not much else of note today. I have no idea how I'm going to workout with the way my legs feel. I'm going to take some ibuprofen around 4 and hopefully it helps.
