Life's little moments
• Apr. 5, 2007 - Aching Legs
I woke up to the fact that I was 35 years old, had given birth to 9 children, and had thoroughly ignored my own being for 14 years. I looked in the mirror and my gagg reflex took over. I thought to myself "but, I'm supposed to be 16, how did THAT happen?"
After the trauma receeded I decided that I would be a much better mother, wife, and woman if I did a little preventative maintenance. Thus began my journey into the land of diet, excercise, and mental stimulation.
As I have previously noted, I have a tendency to be sporadic in life. I embraced the journey whole heartedly and made an enormous difference in a short amount of time. Then it all wore off, and the true battle began. I have held steady, not gaining or loosing for quite some time. This was an enormous success all on it's own, but a new burst has hit me, and maybe by the end of this one I will actually be where I want to be. Then for the day- to-day maintaining.
All of this leads up to my youth retaining routine. I do Taebo every morning, take an hour long fast walk at lunch and have just started a 12 minute excercise regime for my evenings. You would think that my muscles were somewhat built up by the other excercises I do, but no. No. No. No. I think I got carried away with the isometric pressure on my excercises because I ACHE. My muscles are so sore I can't beleive it. It wasn't even hard to do the excercises, but now......
Well, no pain, no gain. |
