So, So Sore!
I’ve written how doing a long cardio sessions after sessions with Bill really help with the soreness. Well, with the gym closed on Christmas evening I didn’t get to do cardio like I wanted. This morning I was at the gym for all of 20 minutes. I was so sore and stiff–I haven’t felt like that for a long time. It made me wonder if I was just stiff or am I coming down with something because I feel so weak. I decided to go home and get some more sleep and I will try again this evening. Last night, though, was awesome! I did 15 minutes on the stairmill and a 30 minute run at 6.5 mph on the treadmill. The gym was packed–that is why I don’t like going in the evenings. I could be sore from that. I really pushed. I felt heavy and super jiggly. It is really weird being able to actually feel the water/fluid shaking in your butt and back. I got a good sweat going and by the end the jiggliness had been reduced a little bit. I also keep peeing. When you have alot of water retention, do you pee it out? Where does it go? Does it just get absorbed back into your body?
All I want to do is feel ‘normal’. Periods suck. From the time that I got my period in 7th grade, no one could convince me that they were ‘beautiful’ and a ’signs of womanhood’. I thought they were gross and pains then and they are pains, now. The plan for today is to eat well, drink plenty of water, stretch, and see what happens. I have been taking my multivitamins and glucosamine diligently. That should help a little. I bought myself a new cooler–Merry Christmas to me! It’s a little bigger than the last one, and the last one was pretty big. It holds all of my waterbottles, vitamins, blender, etc. Once you get used to carrying all that stuff around, you can’t imagine not doing it.
