A funny thing is happening this week. My aches and pains are practically non-existent after workouts. It doesn't feel like I need a full day's recovery time. I didn't hurt at all yesterday, and even now, after doing Day 2 of Week 4 of the c25k program, nothing aches.
Today didn't start out so grand, however. After being gung-ho and looking forward to Monday's workout (which went fantastic), I nearly decided to skip today's. I have been doing so good and haven't skipped one yet was my reasoning. I finally did go to workout, obviously, but not until a full hour after I had planned to.
I am so glad I did. I feel great right now. In the past when I used to workout, I always felt great after finishing. I always wished you could bottle that feeling and drink it so you could have that feeling going into the workout, because starting always has been hard for me.
But ever since I started this a month ago, I never felt great after working out. I loathed it going in and loathed it after each workout. And when I realized I didn't have that "feel great" feeling after a workout, I loathed it even more.
But today was different. Thankfully. And here's hoping that feeling carries forward from here on out.
Here's my food diary from Monday and Tuesday:
