DAY 2: My Head, My Butt, My Head, My Butt

Did you ever see that animated movie "Everyone's Hero" about a baseball bat that eventually becomes Babe Ruth's bat? Here is the trailer: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SSEpbc2t5Hk

There is a scene in the movie (1:46 in the trailer), where a baseball (named Screwie), falls down some steps. Each time he hits one, he says: My head, my butt, my head, my butt! That's how I felt this morning... Except just my butt. Oh - my- goodness!! I am doing SOMETHING right, because I AM IN PAIN!! You should have seen me walking into the grocery store… pretty funny. I haven’t been in this much pain in my butt & my legs since I was pregnant with my daughter…

And today's exercises are for over an hour!!! Oh joy - here we go! :)

So… I did the exercises. Today it focused on my heart rate, and then the legs.  It was REALLY hard to keep going. I wanted to stop plenty of times. Despite my “pain in the butt”, I improved a little today.  I took it a little easier than yesterday considering I am a beginner. If I felt like I needed to take a little longer to stretch, I did, and didn’t feel like I had to do all the arm movements. When there are too many steps to a “dance” or too many components, arms, legs, hips, abs- I get way confused and a little lost. So I just made sure I was moving, and mimicked it the best I could, even if my body can't yet do what the video does. I just had fun with it. But my butt still hurts. :)

After my workouts tonight, I watched the premier of the “Biggest Loser”. That is my guilty pleasure, so that was my reward. I got into that show 6 years ago, when I was 6 months pregnant. I ate my chips & sat on the couch – they lost weight, as I gained weight. And I wonder why I am so “squishy” now… Hmmm...
