And, I fueled my soul with reese's pieces and sour s'ghetti worms. Because....well, um. I needed it okay. lol
After resetting my alarm several times, I finally dragged my butt out of bed, got dressed, ate some oatie-meal, packed some snacks and my water bottle and headed out to the gym.
side note: SCORE! We got free t-shirts since were one of the first 250 participants!! FAIL: we didn't receive our five minute massages like we were promised. But oh well...
**let me apologize in advance for the horrid face of mine you are about to witness. no makeup and winter makes me look as pale as a ghost. my gawd.**
This is our grainy cell phone pic pre-fitness. The aerobathon was 3 hours of aerobic/spin classes: 6 classes each at 25min intervals and a five minute break. They had refreshments and free childcare. It was basically trying to recruit more people to come to their classes. The schedule went something like this:
1. Typical Aerobic class [i forgo what it was called]
2. Some kind of exercise with a weight bar [forgot that one too]
3. Zumba
4. Total Body Shock
5. Step Aerobics
6. Zumba
I did all but the total body shock class. At that point, my body was shocked enough and I honestly needed a refuel break for my body and my spirit. I was pretty tapped out after the first Zumba session and I really wanted to go home. But if any one of you saw my Tweets last night, I had something to prove to my husband [who said I couldn't do it.] Thankfully Leslie and Kristin were there to help motivate me!
And ...shocker! I wasn't the only pregnant fool up in there working on my fitness!
This was how I felt after, but surprisingly...I managed to hobble my way out of there with a smile on my face!
GO US!
**see what i mean about the face. ew.**
All in all. I survived the classes and I am in EXCRUCIATING PAIN. I even soaked in the tub with Austin tonight. Just sitting upright is a battle! Hopefully I'll be a little bit better tomorrow! Probably not though. Anyone have any remedies for sore muscles besides doing more work and hurting myself?
Kudos to you. I'm not even sure if I would volunteered to go in the first place. My pregnancy has made me lazy. And although it's sad, I'm really enjoying a break from working out.
ReplyDeleteI've had a long break from working out regularly and although I was only carrying around and extra 6lbs from Austin, I was too jiggly for my own comfort. So I'm trying to not let being a mom make me a jiggly fat mess. I have to work at staying in shape. lol
ReplyDeleteWow, you are impressive! I don't think I would have the guts to try this. I'm kind of lazy while I"m pregnant! Lol!
ReplyDeleteBe careful not to overstress yourself girl! You're growing a baby (shocker! I bet you didn't know that already ;)
