Workout Pilates Day 3
Oh my god oh my god oh my god. I must be insane. Seriously. I don't know why anyone would do this if they weren't just...really insane. And masochistic.
SO, Pilates, day three. Alternating days. I ran yesterday, I will run tomorrow, and at this point, I don't know which I hate more, running or pilates. I hate them both so much. So much anger, in my heart.
OKAY backing up a little. I did three videos with Cassey Ho's pop pilates, I did the full body beginner workout that I'm trying to use as a ladder to get up to stronger and more advanced stuff, I did the beginner's ab workout right after, and then I did another full body workout meant for more advanced people. Total time was about an hour and fifteen minutes, but probably only about an hour's worth of workout time for me because of how much I had to stop and cry a little about how much everything hurt. (In a good way. Well, in a workout way. Not in a good way. But not in a "I injured myself" way.)
Just...seriously. The beginner's video, the one I've done before, I was feeling good. The elbow push ups were really killing me, but it was good, because I wasn't able to really do them the last two times I did the video, so that's a good sign of progress. I was also able to hold my plank longer (I can't remember if that's int he full body beginner or in the ab beginner), but regardless I was able to notice a lot more improvement. My legs also held it together much better than the last two times. I did SO BAD on the more advanced video, though. I was basically just looking for one to take up a good chunk of time so I got a full hour workout, and one of the other videos I wanted to do wouldn't load, so I just hopped onto that one. (For record's sake, it was Full Body Bangin' Workout.) My arms are still killing me. Seriously. My abs don't hurt nearly as bad as the first day, but they so felt it. And I think I'm REALLY going to feel it tomorrow morning in my legs when I go for my run...a potential downside to this regiment.
For updates on the weird nausea thing, where I thought I couldn't eat meat: I got a super bad stomache ache last night. I didn't eat meat all day. I was fine after lunch, which was...mac and cheese? Maybe a little crampy, but nothing major. I felt HORRIBLE after dinner, which was leftover potato soup with sour cream. And it lasted for hours. I seriously felt...just really terrible.
Gross sidenote here: It wasn't just...disagreeing with what I ate tummy. Nothing...came out. I just had a really bad stomachache, that wasn't...productive, at all. It just hurt. Normally when stuff doesn't agree with me, I get to know the bathroom real well about a half hour later, then I'm fine. This was for several hours and just...pain.
So my theory today was that it was good old fashioned lactose intolerance. Which doesn't really make 100% sense to me, since I did feel a little crampy after mac and cheese (I didn't even stir in milk, I was lazy and just used hot water), and also since I have a bagel with cream cheese almost every morning for breakfast, and I don't get stomachaches until after lunch or dinner. Significantly after.
I didn't have any tummy aches today, though. The other possibility is that the potato soup was going bad (I made it about a week ago, so totally apossibility), or that the sour cream wasn't good any more. I'm going to try a bagel with cream cheese tomorrow for breakfast (after my run) and then try to avoid dairy for the rest of the day. I'm going to actually just keep track of what I'm eating when, and when my tummy starts to hurt, and then I'll go from there.
Actually, probably a good idea to start keeping track of what I'm eating for health reasons. I'm doing fairly good about cutting down junk food, though today was an exception, because I only had a PB&J for lunch and I got some junk food at the bookstore to supplement, because I didn't have any fruit to bring with me. Just a sandwich doesn't work for lunch, especially since I have rehearsal right after work most days. A sandwich and a banana or an orange works really well, but like I said, I have none of those. At the moment.
Maybe everything's just stress. Tummy ache and all. I don't know. We'll find out. I hope.
Let's see. Going back to pilates. I hurt all over. I think that's a good thing. I want to get more regular, like plan out the videos I watch a little more, and I think I can favorite it into order for myself so that'll make it easier. Um...I want to get a yoga mat for myself. Lying on the carpet is fine and all, but I want something that won't...slide. Plus, if I keep this up, I can reward myself with one, as well as new pants. God I fucking need some new pants.
Running tomorrow. Let's see if taking a day off in between is helping or hurting. Hopefully I'll be able to spend more time running, hopefully there will be less people outside, and hopefully I'll actually get some sleep tonight.
Stats:
Pilates video time was about 1 hour 15 minutes, but I probably only worked for about an hour of them. Long way to go.
My arms are getting a little stronger, my abs are too but I don't think I'm pushing them hard enough.
Sweated like a motherfucker.
