OWIE.

Not a real word, but sums up what I'm feeling today. (and yesterday)

I'm pretty good at my cardio workouts. Biking, running and walking, but man I suck at remembering the actual muscles involved. So my goal is to do both cardio and weight training. And man my abs, arms and legs are feeling some serious pain.

And to add insult to injury I'm way behind the eight ball in terms of what I could do.

At my peak last year, I was able to do about 150 curl ups, 35 pushups(I'm a wimp) 3 sets of every weight workout. Now I'm crying in pain over 40 curls, 10 pushups, 30 second plank.. Oh my. But I'm going to keep doing this. I hate the flabby. I like the toned. And my girls are like evil taskmasters so with them telling me everyday to do my workout, I won't be able to slack off. I think they like punishing me :)

Oh and one more thing GO CANADA GO.

New Workout Plan

Yahoo! I got my new workout/resistance training plan from Theresa today. None of the really complicated exercises, you know those 'seriously you want me to bend where and use what?' types. I am not bendy nor coordinated. I don't do aerobics for a reason. Anyways, got my new plan. Designed to aid me in flexibility, stomach definition (not the keg variety) and to stop me from stooping. I have a stooping problem that goes way way back. Because as a 8 yr old girl you don't like being the tallest in your class so you hunch. Crap on the back at 32. But I'm working at it.

And I'll be on the bike for real -- outside by the end of the week. Well that is providing Calgary's 10-20 cm snowfall doesn't accumulate.
