Feeling good about feeling bad

I am sore.  It's official.  And I'm pissed off because I'm DEFINITELY eating better and I have been exercising, but I am over what I was 2 weeks ago, which really pisses me off.

Anyway...There is a gym downstairs, and as I have said in past posts, I have been working out semi-regularly with my boss, so it's been better than I have been in the past.  2 weeks ago, I went and worked out in the gym, at least running and doing pushups and situps 3 days plus my day of Kendo, so I felt good going into the weekend.

Last week, I went into the gym and worked out with my boss - running and working with the hand pads doing punches and kicks and that was about it for the week.  Then I went to Long Island to my folx and ate entirely too much food.  Hence weighing in more than 2 weeks ago.  Plus, I think I might be putting on a little muscle weight, but that could be my delusional side thinking again ;)

So I was actually looking forward to Tuesdays workout.  It was good, we did more punching, plus a full set of 40 pushups and situps and a solid run of 10 min or so.  Felt sore, but good.  Went to practice last night and swung the sword for a good 1.5 hours.  Okay, now things are tight and really sore.  Took a hot shower and loosened things up.  Maybe I should drink some more water.  Nah..I'll be okay.

Woke up this morning - please, send me back 2 hours.  I want more sleep.|
I don't want to pack up my workout clothes.  Shit, if I don't, I'm going to let my boss down.  *Sigh* okay, I'll do it.
Got into work, feeling like utter crap.  Boss comes in still sore from Tuesday.  He's thinking it, I'm thinking it, but thankfully, he was the strong one today - "I'm sore as hell, I have my stuff, and we're working out"

*sigh*

"Okay, you're right" and you know what, I'm glad I went to work out.  I worked out a lot of the soreness, and tho I'm physically tired, I'm feeling pretty good.  We kept it light on the bags, and extended the run and did more pushups and situps.

So yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about feeling pretty sore :)
