Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day!!
On Wednesday morning I had a personal training session with Tara, my first since November. We did some basic stuff – nothing too fancy, but I really felt it yesterday. Almost every muscle in my body ached. I could hardly move. Jerel had to give me a little push when I needed to get off the couch.
Of course, I could have been more achy than usual because it snowed about 6 inches on Wednesday, and after dinner we (meaning me) decided to walk up to Copley Place to look at the ice sculptures, specifically the polar bears that I saw them creating when I was watching the news. We walked up to Copley, and then over to the Boston Common, but never found them. It was FREEZING, and I just had on a thin pair of black dress pants. When we got home my legs were so red – they looked like they were sunburned. It took a couple of hours before they were warm again.
Our NYE dinner was very nice – we ate at Hamersley’s like we did last year. Yesterday we had planned on going to brunch, but with an air temperature of 6º and a wind chill of -11, we decided to just stay home and keep warm. We cleaned out most of the stuff we had taped on the DVR and then watched the Bones marathon.
Tara sent me a message on Facebook wondering if I wanted to train today, and even though I was super sore I figured why not. I had been planning on going to the gym anyway. I did 15 minutes on the crosstrainer and 15 minutes on the treadmill, and then had a really good session with her. I figure with the bootcamp that starts next week I should back to my previous strength level by the end of the month.
I am so excited about tomorrow – I am getting my hair cut & colored!! It has gotten really long and has moved to the unmanageable stage, along with looking fairly crappy. I’m thinking a longer bob - a brunette Kelly Clarkson, with bangs.
I will take some pictures - I'm hoping it turns out well. It's time for a change!
