Pain I am in

So yeah, I'm in pain all because I decided to do the bursting way of exercising.  UGH!  Kicked my ass!!!

Saturday morning one of the cats woke me up at 8am and I felt awake enough so I decided to get up.  I was going to be lazy and just read for a little while or watch some tv but then decided fuck it.  I'm awake, I need to start truly exercising so why the hell not do it now.  So I got in my workout gear, put on my shoes and headed down to the basement.

I decided to do the plank first, especially since this would be the first time doing it with shoes on.  And sure enough, I was able to stay up for a full minute unlike without shoes.  The I got on the treadmill to do the bursting.

Warm up for 3 minutes then 30sec/1min running and 1/2 minute walking normal then back to 30/1 and 1/2.  Do that until you've done 4 minutes of bursting; 8 minutes of normal and then 3 more minutes for the cool down.

I did 1min burst, 2min normal; 1min burst, 2min normal; 30sec burst, 1min normal; 30sec burst, and then couldn't do anymore, felt like I was gonna be sick.  So I just did a 3.5 walk for about another 7 minutes or so.  I was still huffing and puffing when I quit.

I went and sat in a chair to try to cool down and breath normally again.  Once I finally was back to normal I decided to jump rope, which of course was still the fake jumping since I haven't looked for the rope yet.  I did 30 seconds of that and then 30 seconds of jumping jacks.  I was back to dieing!

I tried to do the scorpion flip but was only able to flip one way.  There was no way I was gonna be able to go back the other so I gave that up.

And here I am two days later and I'm still sore.  Especially my shins.  But I'm gonna get on the elliptical tonight I think.  Don't think I'll do the bursting routine on it yet but I'll at least do some intervals.

Food wasn't too good but again wasn't the worst I've done.  We had hamburgers on Friday night; Saturday I had some chicken nuggets and a few fries for lunch and then we had Chinese for dinner.  Sunday I had some left over Chinese for lunch then did it all in with double decker pizza for dinner.  I only had two small pieces but still!

Still a work in progress that's for sure.
