I managed to go to the gym both days this weekend. This is a major victory. On Sunday I even went to the boxing class at the gym.
I went in to the class confident in my new level of fitness, knowing that I would be able to do the exercises and would be fine. Ten minutes into the class I was wondering how I was going to make it through the rest of the class. I kept wondering just how out of shape I really was, was I not working out hard enough during my normal workouts?
I pushed through to the end of the class, wimping out on some of the exercises (Body builders/Squat thrusts are evil - no matter what you call them) and ducking out once for a slow stroll to the water fountain and back. I was drenched by the end of class, and very very tired. Today, I'm sore all over, and hurt in places that havn't hurt in a long time.
Today I'm taking the day off from the gym, I'm just going to do some Yoga to stretch out the muscles.
How was your weekend?

Dh and I took many long walks this weekend. They took twice as long and we could really feel them in our leg muscles because of all the snow here.
