So much for my big plan to get in shape this week. I was so sore from the BodyPump class yesterday that I coudn't even bear thinking about going to the gym. It actually didn't start out so bad. Yesterday morning I could still sit down without grunting, but by lunchtime I was walking with the akward stiff-legged cadence of a girl who's taken it all a bit too fast with her get-in-shape plan. You know it's bad when I opt to sit on the couch in the mall while Jon tried on backpacks at North Face. This girl sit on a couch when there's shopping to be done? Definitely sore beyond belief! How sore? Last night, Lola jumped up on my lap as she normally does and I screeched in pain from her tiny little 5 pounds coming down on my thighs. OWWW.
Today my legs are feeling slightly better, i.e. It doesn't look like I'm walking around with a pole up my ass. It's kind of strange that my upper body wasn't sore one bit. But if any part of my body were to get the better workout, I'm glad it was my thighs. They'll thank me later. I'm going back to the gym tonight, I plan to just focus on cardio and my upper body. It'll need to be a short workout because my sister-in-law is staying with us for the next few days and I have a little bit of straightening up to do before she arrives. There's nothing like company to make you clean your toilet, right?
Then there's still all of my autumn decorations to put away so that we can finally start decorating for Christmas. Please tell me I'm not the last one to start decorating for the holidays. It is still November, after all! I've been trying desperately every night to burn the last of my "Mom's Apple Pie" candle, but Yankee Candles last forever! I'm just chomping at the bit to bring out my new Mistletoe candle, but I refuse to start burning it until I'm done with the other. This is all part of my new clutter-free philosophy...no storage of half-burned candles to be brought out next season. That's what living in a one bedroom condo will do to a girl!
