My butt is so much better. It really did hurt, I wasn't just being a big drama queen. It was seriously painful. It's Tuesday and I was worried about going to Body Combat and Body Pump. I didn't feel like I could give it my all because I was still in some pain. But I was not going to skip a workout just because of a little soreness.
I didn't go to the front of the class because I knew that when I do, Alex pushes and motivates me to work as hard as I can and I didn't think I could do it. I went to my "old spot" on the side in the second row. Well, I think it was a mistake. While I got a great workout, I found myself not pushing myself as hard as I usually do, since I was kind of hidden. I think I could have worked harder than I did, because I felt better than I thought I would. I still burned 850 calories, not too shabby, in both classes. But I usually do almost 1000. I was able to do the "shoot" move, that was the move that caused all this pain in the first place. Not perfect, but I couldn't do it perfect last week either. It's really hard. By the time the second class came along, and we were doing lunges at the end, I could feel the butt cheeks tightening up. I knew I would need to stretch well after. I tell ya, I better have one freakin fabulous butt when all is said and done.
Alex helped me to stretch out after, pushing me and stretching my muscles till I almost cried. However, I feel so much looser now, so I needed that to help work it out. We'll see how I feel in the morning!
Then Cassie and I get home, and at 10:30 the boys walk in and my husband has for me my all time favorite flowers, purple tulips. For NO REASON. What a guy. He usually doesn't do things like that, and it really surprised and touched me.
The perfect ending to a great evening. I worked hard, I get rewarded with a painfully wonderful stretch and some beautiful flowers. Now for bed. Tomorrow I have a meeting all day at the district office, so no little munchkins to teach. YAH!
