This Saturday's weekly weigh-in showed a 2.8 lb loss. Finally - to see some progress, it was certainly refreshing. On the downside, I am still feeling a lot of aches and pains. To a certain degree, I understand the "No Pain, no gain" where my muscles are concerned. What bothers me is that neither advil or aleeve are helping to relieve the muscle pain I am feeling after a workout.
Do not get me wrong. Since switching over to using weight machines, I have been able to get through my workouts with my trainer. My arms and/or legs will feel like limp noodles after lifting. The next day, I can feel the soreness in those areas. This past week, the trainer was able to sneak in some squats and that made it more difficult to get up and down without feeling a lot of pain. I even did a lot of walking in hopes to reduce that pain last week.
Now, it is not so bad, but when I stand after a period of sitting down, I stiffen up and there is a lot of pain. I am looking for ways to stretch those muscles in order to get that part to stop.
I am thankful that I have this week off from work. I just want to enjoy the time off and hope to get some cleaning done around the apartment. I have my work cut out for me on this part, but I will work to get some dent done.
Here is hoping that Thanksgiving does not dent my health changing efforts.
