Why that would be ME!
My oh my. Despite my recent inclusion of weights and strength training into my workout regime, it seems they were not enough to prepare me for this morning's Body Pump class! I used to take this class regularly last year, but with training for triathlons , running and bike races, it kinda went by the wayside.
Until today.
Let's just stay the class kicked my butt.....and my arms, and my legs, and my shoulders....you get the drift. Oh and I loved it.
It did, however, make for an interesting day in the office. As the day progressed, I could feel my muscles tightening (in that 'you-will-be-so-very-sore- tomorrow' way). Not the greatest when you have a sedentary office job.....
Note to self: Don't leave it too long before you do another class!
Tonight’s dinner was all about leftovers.
Leftover stir-fry.
Washed down with a cold GF beverage…
Hope your Friday is a little easier on the muscles than mine!
Happy Baking :)

Oh, it certainly was. Being unable to do any exercise besides slow ambling makes for generally not-hurting muscles ;) But by gosh, I'd go for some agony if it meant a plate of that stir fry and a cold one at the end of the day!
ReplyDeleteI have been weight training again too and yesterday's session sounded a lot like yours--I spent the day with that exact feeling you described! I didn't wake up as sore as I thought I'd be..score!
ReplyDeleteAlso, GF Pale Ale? Umm, yes please! I haven't been able to find anything like that in the states. I love pale ale!!
I went to body pump last night! The first class back is TOUGH. I'm sore today and I've been doing the class regularly all summer!
ReplyDeletesounds like you had a great workout!
ReplyDeleteI need to do more pump!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like there is no way to prepare yourself for intense work out classes, they are like a new breed of strength training. Hope the sore muscles ease!
ReplyDeleteI have being so slack doing pump this has made me want to get back into it again, that shakey feeling is so satisfying
ReplyDeleteBody Pump is intense! I did it once and have never been brave enough to go back, but I know when you do it regularly it gets to the point where you can actually move normally the next day. It does feel good to know that you worked hard though!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the beer, does it taste OK?
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
I feel you on the aches, I am so sore today! It kind of feels good after the fact though, I know I worked hard this week. And it gives me an excuse to get the Hubby to give me a good massage :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you are hurting. The beer looks tasty though. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletePlan B
awe haha. i cant just imagine!!!! at least u know how to feel those muscles well with delicious stirfries!!! <3
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the soreness after a workout, providing I'm not so sore I can hardly move. I've been hearing about Body Pump everywhere, and I'm curious to see if they have it around my neck of the woods. At least you got yourself to go back after stopping, I'd probably stop and never make it back.
ReplyDeleteI love those workouts. I love sitting down at my desk and being all "Ouch!" and my coworkers being all "What?!?" and me being all "Yeah, it's my work out." ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis beer looks very interesting. Normal beers bloat me usually
