Week Three days six and seven....I think I just hit a wall! WOOF.

Day Six....today I woke up and literally could not put weight on my legs. My thigh muscles were SO SORE my knees were shaking when I walked. My trainer really did a number on me apparently! I sucked it up, took some painkillers, and went to work my lunch shift at the restaurant. Being Saturday afternoon, it was crazy busy which might have been a good thing because I didn't even have a chance to think about how much it hurt to walk/stand. I have spilled a tray maybe once in my entire serving career, and I spilled TWICE today because I just had no control over any of my muscles. (thankfully not on anyone or by my tables and I didn't break anything, and I actually ended up containing most of the spills so I only had to remake like one of the drinks on the tray. But embarrassing nonetheless)

My trainer told me it would be a good idea to take today off for working out....yeah, couldn't have worked out even had I wanted to or had time to today!! So I'm just not going to count this day in my workout plan...I have a feeling my plan is going to modify a little in the coming weeks anyway. I hope my next training session is not going to put me out of commission like this!!

After work I made a nice healthy dinner and got ready to go see Fiddler on the Roof that my parents directed, with Eben's mom. It was a wonderful show!! Afterward we went and got some dessert and I had a beer, so I cheated a little there...but overall I was good at remembering to eat good stuff during the day and during my shift so I'm gonna give myself a B+ for the day for eating. I'm pretty firmly in the "don't deprive yourself" camp when it comes to dieting...everything in moderation. So then when I do decide to have some carbs, my body remembers how to process them and doesn't go nuts. I have heard that people who follow high protein/low carb diets do lose weight pretty rapidly and healthily, but the minute they "fall off the wagon" and introduce carbs/fats back into their diets they gain weight right away. I'm hoping that if I just moderate these things that won't happen, and I won't be tempted to "fall off the wagon" since I'm not depriving myself in the first place.

Day Seven....luckily this is a rest day!! And boy do I need it. I decided to skip church this morning because I am just exhausted, and still really sore, and have to go to work a long shift this afternoon/evening. So I slept in til' almost noon and am just hanging out until work! It's nice. I've been so busy lately I feel like even my down time has been "scheduled" so it's nice to just hang out and let my body and mind get some rest. Hopefully tomorrow I will not be so sore and can do some sort of workout. Although it is Monday and that means I have a busy day, and am planning to go see the new Twilight movie between my two shifts!!

By the way, I am in love with Pandora. It's an online radio station that creates a personalized station from the music you say you like and selects other similar music based on a bazillion qualities it measures in songs. You can create multiple stations based on your mood, too, which is great for me because my music tastes are kind of all over the map. Right now I'm listening to a station I created by entering a few indie/folk groups and some old jazz/blues singers I like. It's awesome that it's played some of my favorite obscure songs already and also some cool songs I've never heard by similar artists! Also you can rate the songs as they play, and if you click that you like a certain song it picks the following songs with this new information in mind. Pretty cool technology. Check it out! It's free!!
