I don't know why I don't work out more consistently. I can honestly say, as long as I'm in control on what workouts I'm doing, I really do enjoy working out. Because I work right now part time as a massage therapist out of a Pilates studio, I am planning on going and getting certified in teaching reformer Pilates. It is a pretty fun workout, and also surprisingly challenging. So yesterday I went and worked with one of the instructors for an hour and did some learning and practice teaching with her, and then and went and did a leg day with my trainer friend right after. It was a good two hours of working out, and I felt really good after. I usually feel great after working out, its just making myself actually physically go that's the hard part.

I'm definitely going to try to be more mindful and get more workouts in. I've definitely been slacking lately.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Feeling a little bloated, and definitely incredibly sore.

My trainer friend wanted to go for a run this past Sunday, because it was going to be around 50 degrees. I objected at first, but then she informed me that we would be running a 10k in May, so I should probably start training. Clearly she is very assertive, but is very good at pushing me in the right direction, and setting realistic goals. Do I necessarily want to run a 10k? Definitely not. However, I feel like I am aimlessly floating right now, with no definitive goals. So we went running on Sunday (mind you, the first time I have really ran since my 5k in May 2014), and I think I might have overdone it. We ended up jog/walking for roughly an hour, doing just under 4 miles. A very mediocre pace, BUT still a pretty decent length, especially for a non runner like me. My legs are definitely feeling it. I probably should have done shorter length and distance to start off, but it makes me feel better knowing that if I can do 4 miles, I can most likely do 6, especially with some training.

Another thing I realized that has been happening, is that I will occasionally break out into severe hives after any sort of high intensity workout. It started back in December, after a REALLY intense Crossfit workout. At first, I thought it was the pants that I was wearing, because they were new and I only broke out on my legs. Since then, I have really been focusing on weight training, and really haven't done any cardio, until Sunday. After my run, I go to hop in the shower and notice my legs and my arms are covered in hives again. I looked it up, and there is a thing called exercise induced urticaria, and I think I may have it. It's not necessarily being "allergic to exercise" even though that would be totally cool to tell people haha, but when you exercise the body releases histamines, and I guess my body has a reaction to those. Once I'm done exercising and I take a shower and cool down, they leave pretty quickly. I think I'll just monitor it closer, and if it gets worse, I can go to the doctor. I did some research and if it really bothers me, I can take antihistamines before I workout.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!

So, has anyone ever literally died from a leg day before? Because I did a good leg workout last night for the first time in a long time, and everything hurts. I could possibly be dying. Death by leg day.

I think I am on day 9 of the Whole 30, and I feel like I've been doing this foreverrrrrr. I am doing better emotionally and physically. Technically you arent supposed to weight yourself on the Whole 30, but I really hate not weighing myself. I know numbers don't always mean something, but its always a push in the right direction knowing I have progressed.

Hope everyone has a great day!
