Holy leg day Batman!!!!

Yesterday was leg day. Not just any leg day. Nope. It was Scott's "I'm going to work your legs hard" kind of work day. When I work out alone I work myself hard. At least I feel like I do. I sweat, I hurt, I push until I'm shaking and just can't push another rep out. Scott takes it to another level. He teaches me new things that I doubt I can do. But, then I do it and I do it some more. And then I take a break while he works in a set and then I go again. When I think my legs are going to give out on me, somehow he's able to push two more out of me. Not to the point where I am going to injure myself! He's not a drill sergeant! But he can just tell when he can get more out of me and he always does. He's never surprised by what I accomplish, more of a "I knew you could do it you dumb shit" attitude. I'M the one who is usually surprised and proud of myself! Let me tell you though....I'm hurting today like I have never ever hurt before! My cardio this morning didn't have as much "oomph" to it like usual (I partly blame lack of sleep to the baby that has been teething for like six months now...ughhh) but I did it! I did back and shoulders today also...anything that had to do with legs I avoided all together.


 

'Scuse the "F" bomb, but there truly is no other way to describe how you feel on leg day and even more so, the day AFTER leg day!! Funny, they have two different meanings....haha Especially when you have four kids and work with children all day. You're constantly getting on their level. Up and down. Up and down. Top that off with back to school shoe shopping! Bending over and checking where their toe is at in the shoe. Finding sizes in the ridiculous mess. Why is that when you need the display shoe, you can never find its mate?! BUT, I'm not truly complaining. This is an AWESOME pain I am experiencing because it tells me (especially every time I use the bathroom...two gallons of water a day, I spend a lot of time there) that my body is doin' WORK!! And THAT my friends tells me I'm one day closer to walking across that stage!!

 

So, that's how today went. I walked around like I was 90. Keeping our fingers crossed that Cruz has a good night of sleep. If he does I will be rolling to the gym when it opens at 4:30am for an early cardio sesh. Scott goes to work early and I like to get it done. If not, then its an afternoon cardio and work out sesh.... we shall see!!!! No excuses!!!!
