This is the beauty that I enjoyed today at my 6am workout. My alarm
ironically woke me up to Hurt So Good which actually for the first time I didn't
since I treated myself to a massage yesterday. I actually felt so good that when
the next song came on, an 80's classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDnxxYDx5nc that I wanted to
dance at 5 something am and actually this song has been in my head ever since.
Something I learned today that is key to me- I need good music to inspire me to
wake up and start my day in a great mood. And honestly, I'm not even a huge 80's
fan. Perhaps more than the music, I feel happy because I am doing something good
for me.
My body has quickly adjusted to getting to bed earlier for my morning
workouts. I think it is because my body is so tired from the exercise that it is
getting more restful sleep. I was so sore up until getting that massage,
especially in my lower back which Stacey let me know was a result of tight
hamstrings. So I have ordered a foam roller and will have to commit to using
that so I can prevent injury and continue with my workouts.
The first week I was also doing a couple extra kickboxing classes and added
another strength training class which I think was taking a toll on my body. So I
have cut that back and am just doing these workouts plus plan to do yoga
tomorrow. Besides if I go full force now, it will be hard to top that going into
my third month so I will have to wait until then when my body starts to plateau
a bit.
