Feeling Like a Cripple

It is day 5 of the challenge and so far I've been perfect with it! I had a couple near misses like having to scarf down a banana and some peaches in 3 minutes to get in my fruit servings before the 8pm cut-off time, but it is going pretty well so far. I no longer have headaches at night because I didn't have my after dinner sugar dose, so that's a plus. The minus is that I am sore all over!

Usually after a hard workout I let my body recover for a day or more but with no time for recovery I just keep getting even more sore! I took it pretty easy yesterday with 20 minutes of pilates and about 25 minutes of just pure stretching every sore muscle! I woke up this morning even more sore than before though so I cannot WAIT for my free day from exercise haha! I was reminded that I need new cross-training shoes and that I'm pretty much a wuss.

This morning I wasn't feeling like drinking water or eating fruit or working out or doing anything really... I am tired and my shoulder has been keeping me up at night and I wasn't really motivated. Then I remembered the slogan "I can do hard things" and I felt better about it. :-) So here's to another day and one day closer to my free day!!
