Day Two: Screaming muscles.

I can't say it was easy to wake up this morning. Not only had I gone all out on the 30 day shred, but I also had night work to do. I could feel my muscles getting sore before I even went to sleep last night and that's always a bad sign. I absolutely woke up to heavily complaining muscles but, on the up side, my joints were feeling fine.

Actually, if anything, my knees felt better today than they did yesterday; although I'm really not sure why-maybe it was just the heat of moving yesterday. I definitely have little old lady knees that predict rain (so that's most days here in Scotland). That was the one thing that had given me pause when wading through the reviews for this particular program. I meant to go into that yesterday, but now that I think of it, I don't think I did. Ooops! There were some mentions in a few of the reviews about possible knee problems in this workout and I was kind of wondering if that wouldn't rule me out entirely. When it came right down to it though, I noticed that most of those mentions were coming from people who didn't have knee problems speculating that people that did have them might have issues. Now, I'm not saying that's not true, but luckily it wasn't for me. Again I'm going to guess that my knees feeling better can mostly be attributed to the heat I was generating because the higher the temperature, the better my joints feel. That's always been the case for me. This is also why Arizona was my favorite place that I ever lived. I swear, if I could live on the surface of the sun, I'd probably go for it, but I digress. 

So, did I jump out of bed totally pumped for today's workout? No, not really. But I did do it within an hour of waking up and I really would say that this blog went a long way with that. Even though this is the very beginning and I'm still sorta talking to myself here, just knowing that this commitment is here helped me out a ton. What do you guys think? What motivates you to keep pushing through a routine?

Another plus to this particular workout-and one of the reasons I chose it to begin with-is that it goes by so fast! Just about the time you think you're really invested in an exhausting way, it's winding down and over. For me, that's a perfect way to feel accomplished and see goals being met.

Well, that's me for this post. I've got a post in mind all about food, which I will hopefully get a chance to write later on today. For now though, I've got to get to work.
