Looking Pretty

I guess I did something right because I looked a hot mess after the gym last night. I left red-faced, hair a mess and falling out of my ponytail, and dripping in sweat. Plus my tank top was so soaked with sweat it got all stretched out. Not pretty.

To say that I am exhausted today is an understatement. The hubs and I got our double workout in yesterday. Woot! One of my long term goals is to try a new exercise every month. I accomplished it last night...sort of. I haven't done kickboxing in over a year and I'm definitely rusty so I consider it a "new" exercise. Strike totally kicked out butts. I was already tired within the first 10 minutes of class. I forgot how incredibly challenging that class is. I know the hubs felt the same way. When class was over, he told me he didn't want to do hot yoga. He said he was going to "go run" but I knew that he wouldn't work as hard or as long. Hot yoga was 75 mins. But I was able to convince him to do yoga with me. It felt sooo good to get everything stretched out. The teacher was slower than I'm used to but it was nice since the room was so hot. Since we did back-to-back classes, we didn't get home until about 10 pm. The hubby hadn't eaten dinner beforehand, like I told him to, so he ate when we got home. I don't like eating late but was also hungry so I had some pita chips and hummus. YUM. I also let myself eat ONE chocolate covered macadamia nut - I ate in in 3 pieces to savor the flavor. To give you a better idea, they are about the size of 1.5 peanut M&Ms. I made myself drink a whole glass of water to keep from wanting more.

I took a 800 mg ibuprofen before bed last night because I was already feeling so sore! The soreness today is a lot worse but I brought my gym bag anyway. There aren't any classes that I want to take so I think I will just run on the treadmill. I am still training for the 5K. I have yet to finish week 3 - I think I'll do that today. Looks like an hour of cardio (treadmill and elliptical) is in my very near future. As long as I don't pass out from sleepiness first.......zzzzzzzzzz
