Chocolate Painting

So today I am just not motivated...at all. It is 12:35PM and I am still in my PJ's. So are the kids. I don't have anywhere to go, so why bother. I just hope no one decides to drop by. :) My house is pretty trashed right now. There is clothes to fold, beds to be made, counters to clean and dishes to be washed. But here I am. Goofing off.
I started working out again this week. Monday I ran a little over 4 miles. I lifted a few weights, but I was so out of breath and my heart was pounding so hard, I was almost sure everyone could hear me panting and my heart beating so hard. I only did a few reps and called it a day. Tuesday I woke up feeling so sore. I had muscles screaming in protest as I got out of bed. It felt great. Seriously, it did. We went swimming which helped with the soreness and gave me a little workout. Wednesday I went to Pilates. And although I had been out for a few weeks, I found that I could still do the most advanced moves and postitions. I felt strong. After class I hit the weight floor with Daniel and did about 45 minutes of weight training. Today I woke up and my arms feel like noodles. I feel good. But lazy. I am happy with my physical results. And I completely regret throwing out all my size 2's. Well sort of. The size 2's I have now fit me big...so I guess my old clothes wouldn't be much help anyway. Doesn't matter since nowadays my wardrobe consists of mainly t shirts and shorts...and the occasional summer dress. I'm debating on whether or not to workout today...or go swimming. I want some sun...and I can work out tomorrow. We'll see. I know I should clean up the kitchen and the chocolate Jello pudding artwork that is on my cabinets before anything else. :)

  1. Just a hint on alleviating muscle soreness... chocolate milk! It's best to get the 1% or lower (if you can stand it) so it saves you on the calories. After you're done lifting, drink some and the nutrients that it has help. Try it, it really works. Honest!

    Or you could drink a protein shake. A little water, protein powder, fresh fruit, and some plain yogurt are awesome.
