Sore

Holy hell I am sore today. I did a new pre-natal workout video on Monday and it kicked my butt. I can't believe it either. My ego is shot. I'm a bit cocky when it comes to my workout abilities. "I'm awesome. I do Tae Bo." But this pre-natal video was a *real* work-out; which is very different from all the other pre-natal work-out videos I've been doing.

I think I started the video with a mis-conception and that's what lead to my downfall. The video was pre-natal fitness with a partner. I got it because I thought it would be nice for Chad to help me with some of my fitness practices.

I don't know about you, but when I think of pre-natal fitness with a partner I think of stretching, breathing, hugging and belly rubs. Well, this video had none of that. Instead it was: squats, lunges, push-ups, leg-lifts and a variety of other exercises.

All of the exercises were done with a partner (Chad) who gave resistance to make them harder. Well, it doesn't take much for Chad to add a lot of resistance to anything I do. He is so much bigger than me--just the weight of his hands on my back made the push-up *so* much harder.

So, need-less-to-say I am hobbling around work looking like I am 20 months pregnant instead of 5. Yesterday I just walked on the treadmill at the gym and I am planning on doing the same today.
