Day 2, Post 1: Keyword: Sore!

Wow ....My pain reminds me of two things. How I feel after a couple days of snowboarding, and how I felt after a motorcycle accident.

I am painfully aware of all the major muscles in my body, that I hardly use.
Yesterday I just felt weak, like how your arm feels after holding a small child for an entire day. But today I am just sore. I am sure I am walking funny and every muscle simply aches.

I took a couple ibuprofins this morning, but I think it's good I feel this pain. It will be fun to see if I feel less when I start boot camp again next month.

So again I was saved from my long walk to the office this morning, but I was deifnitely taking a risk. I got into an old Chrysler LaBaron convertable this morning at carpool. I hate climbing into the back of tiny two door cars, especially odl ones where they just don't factor larger people into the design. I had some trouble getting the seatbelt to fit over my large body into the secure socket, but I exhaled and made it. The first two attempts at a lane change on the bridge almost resulted in a collision. The driver certainly either couldnt see out her mirrors, chose not to, or just can't turn her head. But we finally made it over and she took me all the way to my intersection- Hallaluyah!

I don't think sitting at my desk all day today will be good for my muscle aches, I will try to get up alot and walk around. And I will make a bit attempt to drink more water, as advised by the boot camp teachers.

Thanks for reading my blog, I will try to add in at least one or two interesting non related facts at the end to reward those who read the whole thing:
-Michelle gave me a fuzzy monkey magnet and twice now my cat has removed it from the fridge and slobbered on it. I took it to work- it's on my file cabinet now.
-My roommate brought her ball python over from her dad's house. I am now one of those cool people who has a big snake at home. Well by proximity, it's not my snake, and I don't intend on holding it . ...ever. Although I should add that there is a similar snake about 6 feet from me in Chris' office at work and a whole bunch of then a couple floors down.
