Level Up - Part 2
As mentioned previously I was in a lot of pain yesterday after 3 workouts at my new level. So what did I do yesterday but go back to the gym for workout number four. Amazingly enough I'm not really in any more pain today than I was before. An occasional twinge in my arms (yesterday was serious upper body work) and I'm not looking forward to vacuuming the floors here in a minute but overall not as bad as I thought it would be.
I'm still kind of tired as my body gets used to the new level of exertion I'm asking of it. And hungry. Very hungry. I'm watching what I eat and how much even though my tummy would love for me to binge right now. I am eating more protein and even ate real meat last night and at lunch today, which seems to be helping with the mad cravings for FOOD! I tried to appease the protein cravings with tofu but the body is having none of that so real meat it is at least for a few days. I hope to be back to my 80% vegetarian life soon - while the rest of my body is demanding meat my digestive track has decided to protest this new development. And that is all I'm saying cause anymore would be TMI.
I finally got around to getting my H1N1 shot today so I believe I am now all ready to leave the country in less than two weeks. No, the shot isn't a requirement for where I'm going but both Dad and I figured it would be better to have the vaccination before leaving the country, plus we'll be on a cruise ship with the close quarters and all. Better to be protected than have our vacation ruined by the flu.
And on an interesting note I now have matching bruises and no idea what I did to get them. I have a bruise about the size of a quarter on the inside of each forearm about two inches above the wrist. They showed up today and they only hurt when I hit them against something. No idea what I did but I'm sure it was probably at the gym.
Right. I'm off to fold a load of laundry and then vacuum before calling it a day and kicking back with a book. The rest of the house cleaning will wait until tomorrow.
