Thursday of my first week of training. Things are going pretty good. Just a few quick updates:
--First weekly weigh-in was Tuesday, and the scale showed what I hoped it would...I lost 3.5 pounds. Yes - I attribute most of this to water weight, but I'll take what I can get. January 7 Weigh-In: 188.1 (3.5 pounds down)
--Monday: Bootcamp. Was. Brutal. Like seriously...brutal. I am still sore today. But regrettably, I found out that Monday was my last day of Bootcamp for awhile. I am having shoulder issues, and until my doctor's have figured out what the issue is, I am not to do strenuous exercises with my arms/shoulders. Unfortunately, this messes up my training plan a little, but nothing that can't be fixed. I am going to sub in some bicycle cross training and potentially yoga (although that requires some shoulder usage...we'll see how it goes).
--Tuesday: 2 mile run. Traffic was terrible on the way home Tuesday, which put me in an incredibly frustrated mood. In turn though, I ran pretty well. I felt great doing it, and it really helped me focus my anger and frustrations into something. Very productive run (although in the dark, which I don't like. Took my taser with me...a girl's gotta be safe!)
--Wednesday: Rest Day. I should have done some cross training, but my legs were still killing me, so I decided to listen to my body and take it easy with some compression calf sleeves and a West Wing marathon. I think I made a good choice.
--On schedule tonight: 2 mile run and some cycling. Then some Grey's Anatomy and Scandal. It's going to be a good night.
Any suggestions on additional cross training in lieu of missing Bootcamp, send 'em my way!
