Ow. Owww. (Oh..and my phone camera is working!)

YYEEEOOOWWW!! Yes folks, that was the lovely sound I made in my head this morning upon rising to make hubs breakfast at o'dark freakin thirty am. It may have felt better to scream it out loud, but I felt my hamstrings were doing for me already.

So Monday, worked out as normal. Added in arm weights and then did some quad and hamstring lifts. Now dont get me wrong, I dont do the gung-ho approach to weightlifting. I did a set of 12. As in I bent my legs 12 times. Thats it. Felt fine afterwords. 

Tuesday hit, and ok, I was a little sore, no biggie. So I decided to forgo the workout and just do yoga. The program I found was to open up you hips, which was amazing feeling! And also just general stretching yoga too. I felt great and lengthened.

And then comes this morning. My hamstrings feel like, well, lets just say it took me about an hour this morning to be able to walk on them without bending my knees. Ow. It has been awhile since I did leg weights, and somehow, now, after the fact that my legs hate me, I am remembering that it was always the 2nd day after doing weightlifting that always killed me and I had vowed to never ever do it again. (I was 15? 16? at the time.)

So nothing a bath and some Ibuprofen cant help. Geez. I hate it when body parts rebel. So on the good news side of things: Our bed comes tomorrow between 1-5pm. I am thankful that it is not like the Idaho cable guys who say to expect them between 8-5pm Monday Through Friday- Sharp. I always hated that. You were prisoner for a dang week in your home, making sure you didnt miss them.  

Along with our bed, we also got 2 free bathrobes,
 combined total value of $190! (people would actually pay that much for a bathrobe??) Although they are VERY nice. They quilted, with that soft fleecy stuff inside. And they are heavy. It feels like you are wearing an old fashioned drap with a sash. Oh and they are monogrammed HIS and HERS. And I see why now, because I accidently threw on Zacs and it is HUGE. It may as well be a blanket. But holy crap they are warm,  which is nice, I can keep the heat to a minimum. 
Oh, and I finally figured out how to get the photos off of my phone, so here are the pics Zac took on our trip to Lucia Falls.
