Here's to the pain!

So, wow, what happened with my last post? That was what, February 8th and it's now April 1st. Hmm.....not doing too good on the whole getting motivated thing! But, you'll be happy to know that I started going back to the gym on Tuesday. Both of my sister-in-laws go to Lady Fitness, so I thought, why not? I go more for the classes than anything else. Tuesday we went to PumpFx which is a weight-lifting class. Holy cow am I out of shape! I started getting kind of sore the middle of Tuesday and woke up Wednesday in some pain. But, I pushed through and went to a step class this morning. Bad idea! It's been years since I've taken a step class and the one we went to today was NOT for beginners! So, about a half hour into the class I ended up leaving and going to work out on the machines and the treadmill. They have beginner classes on Tuesday nights....might have to hit one of those up, first. So, now as I'm sitting here typing, I'm in even more pain. It's a good pain, means I'm working muscles that haven't been worked forever. But, it's still pain. Popped some ibuprofen, so hopefully that will kick in soon! I've also started doing weight-watchers again and cutting out soda/caffeine completely. I think the eating right is going to be harder than doing the work-out! I was STARVING most of yesterday. This morning I had some oatmeal for breakfast and am doing a little better. But, I'm excited because it's almost snack time! I LOVE snack time! Hopefully a combo of eating better and working out will soon pay off. I also hope it doesn't take me too long before I stop being so sore after workouts! Here's to the pain!
