Challenge 2 Day 41- Bringing On The Pain!

Today is torture day..... I mean Friday! What a great way to start my morning but to workout with Renee at 8 am. Now I like to workout first thing in the morning because I can check it off of my list and then I can focus on my work that I needed to get done.

When I got to the gym, we started with a run outside. It felt nice to be outside, but it was freezing cold. Of course, Renee said it would warm me up, but in no way did it. I was freezing after I was done. We headed back into the Y and straight over to the dreaded stairs, and of course, 10 flights of stairs. But, I am really proud of myself..... I did it without having Renee "guide" me up the stairs. And straight from there, it was "wall sits" for 20 secs. My feet were shaking! Then straight from there we did 20 chest presses and 2 reps of 20 of leg presses at 230 & 240 lbs. I did great on the first rep, but when we got to 10 on the 2nd rep, and my legs were shaking like crazy. The last 10 were the toughest.

When I got all done, it was so hard to stand. I was leaning on anything that I could lean on. I walked down the hall to the locker room and all that was playing in my head was, "Please don't give out on me legs. Please don't fall." It took everything within me to be able to stand. I sat in front of my locker because I didn't want to stand. Typically, I don't use handicap showers & bathroom stalls in case someone needs them, but today, I needed it. Half of the shower I couldn't even stand up on my own. I had to use the seat to shower. It was so sad.

The rest of the day was getting a lot of work done, and I picked up the kids from school. It was such a gorgeous day that the kids & I took the dogs for a walk through our subdivision. It felt good to enjoy the weather and the changing from winter to spring! The rest of the day I enjoyed just relaxing with the family.
