Man, oh, man! You can't keep a good girl down! Yesterday I took a c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e rest day and it was soooo flippin' hard to stay on the couch with my knee iced and elevated. It felt like TORTURE to not do any exercise, but I had to take it easy to let my knee heal! Praise God, though, because I woke up this morning and my knee feels pretty darn good! It's not 100%, but I'd say maybe 90% all betta:) I even cranked out 60 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio on the recumbent bike this morning and I'm feelin' gooooood! I'm ready to do this! ONE WEEK today, baby!!!
Here I come to save the dayyyyyy!
Today I feel SO SO SO much better! After breakfast I took a mid-morning bubble bath and now that I'm squeaky clean, it's only natural that I head back to the gym to sweat it up again for a Chest/Tris/Shoulder/very light Leg workout!!! I've gotta make up for the past two days of rest. It's so ironic how I went from a gal who would do anything not to go to the gym, to a gal who can't stand taking a day off HA! I know, I know, rest is SO very important, but I still don't necessarily like taking an entire day off of zero activity. Ah well, it makes TODAY that much more motivating for me to "get er done" in the gym!
I promise I will have pics up coming soon! We just bought a new camera (with HD video, YAY!) and I'll (or rather my Hunk Hubby) will be taking TONS of pictures, starting with the night before as I pack and get "painted" and all that good stuff! I feel like I'm getting ready for prom or my wedding day with all the waxing, manicures, pedicures, jewelry shopping and hair and make-up fussin' going on! HAHA! Anyway, I'll be taking a zillion pics then, so you'll just have to wait a few more days for pics, m'kay?
Before I go, I wanted to share with you one of my FAVORITE songs of late. When I hear this on my iPod, I get soooo excited and pumped up and may or may not walk with a bit more "swagga" across the gym floor! hehe I've adopted this song as one of my "Top 5" bikini competition songs. ENJOY!!!
PS- My favorite part of the song is about 1:15 minutes in;)
thanks for the comment on my blog!!!! sending the feel better vibes your way too!
ReplyDeleteso are you doing the USBF show formally called the baltimore classic?
if so,that was the one i was aiming for,the bikini division(not pro,not enough time after a baby to get that lean and defined!!)
that would have been awesome if we were onstage together!
anyways,i do hope the rest of your weekend goes well!!
take care of that knee!!!!
I'm glad your knee is feeling better. I know it was killing you not to exercise, but it was overall the best decision. Also, way to not cave on the cravings or throw anything either. =)
ReplyDeleteYou are so very lucky that Auntie came when it did! That would've been horrible. Also, you are doing great and I love that you are still healthy enough to have auntie arrive. That's so important.
ReplyDeleteOne more week! AWW! Hey, will you email me your address again? Thanks :)
