Story time- the stiffness is real
Hey guys, I'm in so much pain today that it's actually funny to me.

So for the past few days I decided to do 100 squats every day. Yesterday I got to 50 and my legs didn't want to work anymore from the previous day of successfully doing 100 and then also doing cardio.

So I decided that since legs obviously needed a bit of a break, I would go through some weight machines at the gym that focused on the pectoral muscle, shoulders and my back.

I regret my decision. Today my arms are still shaking, my boobs hurt and my back is stiff...

And then there is the tree stumps I call my legs... I don't think walking is going to be a thing today, infact pants also won't be a thing today... Today I'm putting on a dress and chopping off my legs because ouch.

I don't know if you guys saw the cutest video on this planet yet.
When I woke up today and moved, I looked at my husband with the same expression and also in a faint whisper asked for help. He graciously rubbed some deep heat on my back before he had to go to work... I could rub some deep heat on my legs but I don't need them sore as well as burning.

I can't believe I'm going to try do more squats today... Try being the key word here, I might also just be like screw it and order a pizza tonight. Why be skinny when you can be happy? (My dad's favourite Moto)

O my word you made me laugh - I am healthy but getting older and I swear every morning I wake up I have a new pain - I so agree with your dad's motto. Resteeming
Being healthy is really good and I can admire people who make that choice... My dad loved good food and I have to admit I do too. Hence me needing to work out... Unfortunately for me my body doesn't like food, it keeps getting heavier lol. My husband on the other hand is one of those people who can eat whatever he wants and as much of it as he wants and he never gains weight... He doesn't like food the way I do.
O I am a food addict - and if somebody else make it so much better. I am not a flower and jewellery girll I am a food and pudding girl hahaha
Hehe same thing here. I'm generally the chef at home, and when it's something I really feel like eating I don't mind the work behind it but somehow when I don't make it, it just tastes so much better
True that
I feel your pain. In my own way.
I am 48 now, and I play cricket. It's a summer sport though, and in the off season I get into bad habits and don't exercise as I should. Which means when the season starts, the day after a game (the games last about seven hours), I can barely move. And you have to find it funny! I walk around the house like a man of 80 after the first couple of games...
It's always better to laugh at yourself, atleast when other people then laugh at you for walking funny, it doesn't hurt as much lol.
Yeah, it's been a long time since I've pushed myself to exercise and I honestly admire those people who have the willpower and who are masochistic enough to want to do this every day.
I also admire people who play sports that involves traveling balls (that is a fear of mine, so bad I can't even watch someone play)
Cricket balls are rock hard, let me tell you. I took a bang to the index finger on my left hand and it swelled up so much it was like a cartoon! I have been hit on the shin, on the ankle, on the chin, in the chest...so much for a gentle game!
Ouch! You are either a sucker for punishment or you really love the game.
I love the game. Seriously, I am a middle aged man with a middle aged spread and grey hair, and in cricket, I can take on and beat someone half my age. Not always, obviously! But sometimes. There aren't too many sports where you can do that.
Age is just a number. My hubby's grandmother is in her 80s and she swims in the ocean every day. She also goes to an Olympic swimming pool every year on her birthday and swims laps every year the number of laps change with her age.
Thanks for share such a great post.
