Ooooh soreness
Ouch. Everywhere hurts right now. Especially my abs. I'm still sore from the 3 classes i took on Monday. I did a lot more weight training in those classes, than i've done all year. That's probably why. But still. Ouch.
Yesterday i had a hard time doing normal stuff, just because i was so sore. My legs, butt and abs are the worst. I am just now really feeling my abs though. I wonder why it takes 2 days for the pain to kick in.
Last night we took the kids bowling. That was fun. Not. Bowling was ok, but the kids were just terrors the entire time. When it was time to leave, Tyler threw the ultimate tantrum. I had to carry him out while he was kicking and trying to bite me. I put him in Kat's seat because since he was acting like a baby, he got to sit in the baby seat. He screamed for 15 min. and i just let him cry it out. Finally after he calmed down, i explained that when he acts like a baby and throws tantrums, he will sit in Kat's seat. And since Kathryn is calm and being a 'big girl', she'll get to sit in Tyler's seat. That pissed him off. But i told him that he had to be calm on the rest of the way home, otherwise he would have to go to bed. He calmed down and then we were able to go on from there. Whew.
Anyway, back to the bowling talk. I tested my ball out on the lanes and they were doing the same thing that the other lanes did. I was beginning to get frustrated because my ball wasn't curving like i thought it would. Then Brandon said i should be flipping the ball with my fingers (hence the finger tip inserts). Duh. I don't know why i wasn't flipping it before. I curves a TON more now! I guess i should have been doing that the whole time.
The first couple games sucked, because i had to figure out where my line was. And figure out how to pick up spares again. It's like re learning how to bowl because my entire line is different now that this ball curves the correct way. So once i figured that out, and it took 3 games to do it, i started bowling better. My last game was a 130. Whoo hoo.
After we were done, Brandon commented on how exhausted he was, and how he can't bowl like this right before league bowling. I asked him why he was so exhausted, and he said because he bowled the night before. I thought about that.... i bowled 6 games by myself at the Aloma bowl, and then a couple hours later, bowled another 4 games at this lane. I was tired, but nothing compared to how Brandon was. I am attributing it to all the exercise i've been doing lately. My arms feel stronger, my body feels better. Yeah, i'm sore, but it's a good kind of sore. At least i know that my body is being toned in the process.
Oh and the scale says i'm down to 212. Originally, (like last summer), i was at 225, and then when i lost all that weight, i got down to a 207. I was really proud of myself, but then over the holidays i got all depressed and icky, and i gained a lot of that weight back. (ugh). I went back up to a 218.
I did manage to stay the same size, but barely. My pants were getting tight and that's when i realized that i needed to do something about it. So since then (i think it's been a couple of weeks), i've been watching what i've been eating, taking smaller portions, and exercising. I've been doing the aerobics classes, which i think has helped a LOT. So my muscles are starting to tone up, and i've lost 6lbs. That's fantastic. My pants are finally feeling comfortable again.
My goal weight is 160lbs. That is the weight that i was in HS, right before I graduated. I remember telling myself how FAT i was, and hating myself. But now that i remember, (now that i'm much bigger), how thin i was. I used to be a size 13, and i looked good. Just looking at my pictures of my old HS days, makes me remember how thin i was. If only...... but i will get there! It may not be soon, but i will do it dammit!
:) It's good to have goals. My current goal is to get down to a 206 (lower than what i was able to do before). I'm not doing any outlandish diets, just doing the smaller portions and exercising. I plan on taking Brandon to an aerobics class on Thursday. I hope he does it with me! That would be so much better if we were both working out. I know he would feel a lot better also.
