Monday
Morning lifting did not go well today. Being leg day it's never going to be an easy day, but something went really wrong today and I'm not really sure how. Leg day always starts with squats and since they were getting to be a bit easy it was time to step it up so I added five pounds to each side...no big deal right? Well apparently I was wrong. I got through my 4 sets no problem, but then halfway through my superset of leg press and buddha squats my legs started to get a bit shaky. I just figured it was because of it being Monday and the start of the week so I pushed through and finished the superset and moved on to the next superset which I struggled through as well. Leg day finishes with 100 walking lunges. However my legs were shaking so bad I couldn't even attempt to do one as my knees were ready to give out so I decided to skip it and just do my hour of cardio.
That night when mom and I went in to do the HIT workout I was really feeling the morning leg work out but I got through it and another 30 minutes of cardio hoping that it would help stretch things out and I wouldn't be so sore tomorrow.
Tuesday
I woke up so sore that it took me a good 2-3 minutes to physically get myself out of bed. I have not been this sore since my first week of working out on this program. I spent the day between sitting in the hot tub, stretching, and trying to get comfortable.
Wednesday
I did not sleep well last night as my legs were just so sore I couldn't get comfortable. The majority of the day was spent in the hot tub and stretching to try to be able to move more like a normal person instead of a 100 year old in need of new knees. However this was not good enough for my mother so that night we went to the gym and lifted and I walked on the treadmill for 40 minutes. While chest day was fine to get through as my upper body was not sore, walking on the treadmill killed me.
Thursday
Did not sleep well again tonight because of sore legs and I woke up to them not feeling any better. More stretching and hot tub time during the day then went to the gym this evening for back day with mom. I ended up doing an hour on the bike with no resistance which felt pretty good. For good measure I sat in the hot tub when we got home to hopefully speed things along as I am really just done with all of the leg pain.
Friday
Finally today the legs are feeling a bit better I guess the bike was the ticket to help getting them stretched out. Not wanting to push my luck any I did not do a morning workout and instead went to the gym in the evening with mom for bicep and tricep day but we only got 30 minutes of cardio in because the gym closes at 8pm on Fridays. I am hoping that tomorrow my legs feel really good because I have the trial for wedding hair and makeup and really don't want to feel uncomfortable while having to sit for both of those so fingers crossed for more improvement.
Saturday
I can finally move around today like a semi normal person, and while my legs are still sore it feels more like a normal sore than an oh-my-god-i-think-i-broke-my-body kind of sore. No workout today as the whole day was spend running around doing wedding stuff.
Sunday
My legs are finally feeling normal though they still hurt when they are grabbed, bumped, or smacked but I can walk without cringing so that's a win. Spent most of the day running errands in town with Blair but we did take Max on a walk around the lake to get some cardio in for the day since it was so nice outside.
