Dreaded Doms

 

Wow sore is not the right word for how my muscles are feeling right now. However as the saying goes no pain no gain!

I’m just hoping I’m doing it right and they are only hurting because it’s something new.

The one thing the insanity workout has really taught me is how important form is, and getting the positioning right is more important that doing things fast. It’s all about having control and your holding your core.

The worst thing is the lift is broken at work, so I’m having to use the stairs (once i’ve done my workouts I’m generally pretty lazy) i guess at least I’m burning a few extra calories!

So it was day 2 of the Jim Stoppani Bodybuilding beginner’s programme i kept at the same weights as Monday, and it was really hard doing it whilst feeling a bit sore, but once I’d loosened up i did feel a bit better. 

I’d dreading waking up tomorrow in pain though. What do you all do for sore muscles ?I know plenty of sleep and protein will help repair them but how do you cope when you have doms?

So for tea tonight, i cooked a courgette lasagne, i like to cook something vegetarian once a week, just for a change and to have a break from meat

.

It was bloody lovely, and my meat loving boyfriend really enjoyed it too.

I get majority of my recipes from BBC Good Food. The main reason for this is they have a massive collection, and they always have the calories and nutritional information at the bottom. Perfect for me because i can still cook all my favourite foods whilst making sure I’m on still on the right track.

Also people leave feedback so if everyone’s saying it’s disgusting you don’t bother cooking it!! J

So now tea’s over and done with i think I’m going to watch crap on TV, play with my Degus :D and head to bed for an early night.

Hopefully I’ll not be too sore tomorrow.

Personal Best

Today has been a good day, after taking a break from working out yesterday due to extreme tiredness i was re-energized for the gym this morning.

It's always good to listen to your body, i am bad at this as i tend to panic if i miss a gym session or mess up my schedule but a tired body isn't going to work well and rest is just as important as working out.

So i loved my little lie in yesterday and even better my lovely boyfriend took me out for a meal in the evening. After a couple of busy weeks it was lovely to spend some quality time together and the food was gorgeous,

We went to Pizza Express and it was my first time, the prices were quite expensive however we luckily had some vouchers ;)

I was also very impressed as they had an under 500 calorie pizza range, which is perfect for me as i know i can enjoy my meal out yet not worry too much that I've gone overboard...although the McFlurry for pudding might have done that oops!

So today i woke up re-energized and smashed my instantiy workout, it was plyo day which i must say is probably my favorite. Then it was off to the gym, i did about 40mins of cardio, and then onto the weights.

It was leg day today and i was determined to push myself and i managed to lift this bad boy...

Definately my best yet, although i think when i cant walk tomorrow i might regret it ;) Also tried some deadlifts today but i think my form was a bit messed up as my lower back is hurting so i'm going to have to work on that some more next week!

Also got my hair chopped today, first time this year oops no wonder it was like a birds nest.. I'm now sporting a lovely bob which is much better and it looks so much healthier :) Another treat from my boyfriend (spoilt ;) )

Tomorrow is pure cardio day, so should be an easy day that's if my muscles aren't sore.. might have a get some extra protein in before bed.

Hope your all enjoying your weekends :)
