Well,
yesterday I finally got my lazy allergy plagued butt to the gym to try
out my new toy! Sundays also happen to be my favorite day to do legs.
I have more time to actually workout and with football season in full
swing the gym is normally pretty slow. My gym also gets the NFL
package, doing cardio ain’t half bad!

It was
a pretty good sweaty session as leg days normally as. Anyone else
feel like they have worked hard enough unless they're dripping in
sweat? I hope its not just me! It was really interesting to see my
heart-rate fluctuations and the calories count increasing. Normally,
while do cardio I glance at the calories counters but since I don't
actually input any of my personal info I don't take it serious. Now I
really know not to pay any mind! Way off! I need to do some research
on what a good heart-rate is for me personally. The rang my Polar
watch was giving me seemed on the low end and broad.

I also
noticed I worked extra hard yesterday. Maybe I was trying to impress
my new toy? Who knows but I might be in love with an inanimate
object!
Of
course, I am feeling it today!! The stairs are not my friend today.
My hip are all kinds of tight! Though really that's nothing new. My
hips are always super tight. You would think someone with hips as
wide as mine they wouldn't be such bitoches. My hamstrings are not
too happy that I threw in some leg curls yesterday. Ouchies all
around!
I'm
spending my night catching up on my Sunday night shows (Homeland, The
Walking Dead, and Masters of Sex) and foam rolling, stretching, and
more foam rolling. I also found this video on the all mighty YouTube
for stretching out my hammies. Luckily no one saw me doing it, that
would have been embarrassing, but it really did help. Some ibuprofen
probably helped too.

Random
question: Anyone else crave all the salt the day after a hard
workout? I seriously had some ramen for dinner. It's like I'm a
college freshmen again.
