Since we’ve completed four weeks of this competition, I kinda thought maybe we were past the point of being sore. I was wrong! We are taking classes and doing exercises that still leave me aching for the next few days. It’s a good ache though, and I still think the pain is worth it.
My life style has had a big change in the past four weeks. Everything from the way I eat, to the activities I do has changed. I eat salads everyday. I eat fruits and vegetables everyday. I workout everyday. I drink plenty of water every day. When my husband and I talk about spending time together, we talk about kayaking and a picnic instead of going out to dinner and a movie (I’m pretty excited that we might go kayaking next week!). We’ll take a walk, or a bike ride. All of these little steps have added up and helped me make the progress I have made, and I’m proud of it! I’m very grateful for the support that I have from everyone, especially my husband!
I have news for you – “sore” doesn’t go away if you are pushing yourself! It’s a really good thing, I think. When I don’t feel anything the next day, I feel like I didn’t do my workout very well and therefore cheated myself. Great choices for spending time with your husband. I have a kayak and love going through the lagoons near the kayak rental place on the peninsula. Enjoy!
