Shred Day #2

Well, I got through it. It was tough, but I did it. Those people who said it gets easier half way through were WRONG! It took 3/4 of the way into it before it started to get easier. And then, it was as if I was just doing it, and not really thinking about it. It went a lot faster tonight too, maybe because I was trying to think about other things. One thing I realized as I was doing some reverse crunches was... I didn't have a headache when I woke up this morning. I've woken up with a headache for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it's so excruciating I can't even hold my head up, or put my hair in a pony tail. Starting to wonder if the headaches are due to lazy neck muscles? I mentioned in a previous post that I have horrible posture and a hump on the back of my neck... that could be from lazy neck muscles too. Maybe now that my neck is getting stronger, my posture will improve and my headaches will vanish for good. Hoping for more than wishful thinking.

I don't feel as dead as I did after day #1. When I finished last night, I lied down on the couch. My husband kept asking me if I was okay. I could barely open my eyes I was so tired and nauseous. I remember watching the Biggest Loser and seeing some of the people throwing up from working out too hard. I felt like everything I had eaten for the day was about to come up. When I did open my eyes, the room was closing in on me. I must be seriously out of shape for one twenty minute workout to make me feel that way. I'm glad I don't feel like that again. It would be very un-motivating to continue tomorrow with day #3 if that was the feeling I was going to have after every workout.

My legs are really hurting right now as I sit her in the recliner. It seems as though every move is one move away from a muscle cramp. In a way, it's a good feeling, because I know that the workout is working. I'm just hoping that it doesn't keep me awake tonight.
