Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 21 August 2013

It's official. I'm crippled. I like being crippled though! Ok.. not so much the crippled part but the part where I feel muscles I never knew existed. I like that part. I found an ab muscle last night when I tried to pick up little man! I didn't succeed in picking up little man until he figured out how to walk up me but did find the muscle. I'm guessing this is from the 60 second planks. Or the pullups.. or the pushups..

I did succeed in milking cows with only limited tears. It took me trying to duck walk in the middle of the barn floor before I could actually get low enough and I had to stretch in between each set of cows but I did it. I have a thigh muscle! I know because I could feel it and it felt like a giant rubber band.

Food last night was again.. terrible. I think it's the workouts, the late nights haying, not having dinner till 9pm, rushing from work to the barn because hubby is still in the field, and I'm craving salt. I think that's a workout thing because I never crave salt.

The plan for today is to warm up on the treadmill like a few people suggested, stretch, and attempt to follow the lifting schedule like the gym guy said. Then I'm picking up dinner, popping some advil, milking cows, and collapsing into an allergy induced coma. I found a link on facebook to Girls Gone Strong. I may have to copy a couple pics from a girl doing deadlifts and tape them to my fridge. Hubby may think I've gone nuts but he's being supportive. lol Maybe if he sees some afters he will be even more encouraging or at least less P'OD when I tell him to go get his own soda I have to workout on my lunch hours now not run errands.

**UPDATE- Fluffy woman found passed out in employee parking lot unable to walk. Yup yup. The gym guy spotted me and offered to go through the exercises again with me. Oh did he go through them with me. I worked out on the elliptical for 10 minutes then went into training. Squats.. check, walking lunges.. check, planks.. check although I crumbled half way through the 3rd one. All good right!?!?! WRONG. Then I had to walk across the gym to the locker room. Hellllllo jello legs. Then I had to walk across the parking lot, through another building, across another small parking lot, and into my building? HAHAHAHA The downward ramp into the first door almost did me in. I may have gotten a couple wierd looks when I was holding onto the wall for dear life but quite frankly I could care less. I'm going to be wonderwoman dang it!

I bailed on the plank challenge. :( I was feeling results too. I like it and will be back. My knee is not happy when I have pent up life frustrations and take it out on the elliptical doing challenging incline/declines at a pretty good pace. I've finished 3 miles two days--not in a row - my body will not allow that -> in under 40 minutes. Hauling ass is what you want to call it. My knee doth protest much after those days and as a consoling resolve, I pull on the compression knee brace. I cannot imagine how insane I would be if I didn't run on the elliptical.

This is so much fun just reading about your feats. I'm so happy you're enjoying yourself. Very proud of you and all your newfound muscles, DFW. You're becoming a regular gym rat!

Good job! You are almost through the hard part. Keep setting goals and you will be wonder woman. It must be hard to plan and actually keep your plan going because you are so busy. I'm impressed!
