I gave in last night and took two sleeping pills. I was just absolutely exhausted and drained ... I didn't want to, but I was desperate. Although I did manage to get almost 6 hours of sleep, I was still restless (work up 5 times during the night) and didn't feel all that rested once I woke up ... I just don't get it. I'm so frustrated!
Today was an easy day, mainly because I was insanely sore after yesterday's boxing workout. I could barely move my torso - coughing/sneezing hurt like you can't imagine! When I walked into the gym my trainer saw me and started laughing because he knew exactly how I was feeling. He was like - your posture is perfect now! - And I thought, well of course it is. I can't blood move my torso!! My knuckles hurt too! In any case - it was a painful but good type of sore.
I warmed up on the treadmill for half an hour and then went to Zumba class. I just needed to dance off all of this stress -- plus having my new Zumba shoes helped cheer me up! {Yes, I'm that person who buys the accessories to match the workout ... why not? Plus you know I'm a shoe addict!}
Love them!! {Um, I bought Zumba socks too - I know, insane, but I couldn't resist!!}
The shoes actually made quite a difference. They're light and slide easily on the floor, making some of the moves much easier than before.
Anyway.
I received a few compliments today on how I was looking more toned and trim. I don't really see it when I look in the mirror, but it's always nice to hear others say something positive. Hopefully I'll be able to see what others see one day - for right now, it's just me and my Zumba shoes.
I love those shoes! (I'm a shoes girl too).
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the sleeping thing - Bruce has been struggling lately too, and I've had issues in the past. I wound up on anti-anxiety pills to help me sleep because I wasn't getting any rest at night at all. Don't love the medication, but it sure helped at the time. Hope you can get some rest soon!
