Recap

I broke down on Tuesday and did my abs.  A whole hour of abs.  It was pure torture and I am only exaggerating a little.  It hurts to lay, move, and even breathe.  Seriously, they are sore to the touch.  Ok, I'm done whining.  Obviously, it is good for me if it hurts so much.  Why can't getting in shape be easy...something like eat this candy bar and you will be a size 2!  Ha!  Now that is what I am talking about!

I was scheduled a 40 min. run today.  It felt amazing.  Right now my runs are dictated by heart rate zones.  My long runs are always 2 minutes in zone 1 and 1 minute  in zone 2...rinse. repeat.  I can tell my heart is getting stronger.  I have to run faster to get my heart rate up and my recovery rate is also improving.  Definitely a good thing, unless I want to be a slacker that day...then I have to work hard anyway!  Sheesh, I tell ya, this getting in shape stuff is not for the weak ;)

Tomorrow is yoga day!  I still think yoga is really boring but last week I did find an amazing stretch for that spot in my buttocks that has been bugging me.  It also does not involve lifting massive amount of weights 3 sets of 15.  I really like that fact.  I find I have to psych myself up for Mon. and Fri. which are my lifting days...it's really not that bad but I have sprints after too.  Ok, now I am just whining again! 

Now if I could just maintain some healthy eating habits.  I have been craving chocolate like no man's business lately!  All this Easter candy does not help.  Need. Self. Control.  I'll work on that...but now I'm going to bed!
