Rest days

I was supposed to be taking today off from working out, but just HAD to get out because the boys were couped up in the house yesterday due to the snowstorm. So I went to the gym, without really any idea as to what kind of cardio I was going to do. Sure enough, I went over towards the treadmill....I'm a sucker. So I jumped right into my second run of the week...even though I told myself I was going to wait til Friday so my knees could get a break. Oopsie :) Anyways, it went really well. It was much easier than the first time around! Then my friend Jess that I work with at the daycare got there, and I finished up my workout at 60 minutes on the treadmill! It's really nice having someone there beside you to chat with!! You don't even realize that you're exercising.
I'm really glad she's been there the past 2 times I've ran. Helps me go a little longer and avoid ducking out after 35 minutes lol :)
So Jess-thanks!!

Anyways, I will use the elliptical tomorrow (as much as I really want to use the tread!). I'm looking forward to Tuesday's weigh in already. I'm thinking this is going to be a really good week for loss. Also-I'm getting new sneakers this weekend WOO HOO! I really need them, and I hope they'll help with the sore knees. Although, today, I didn't feel any soreness.
Just goes to say, that the body really does need rest days...even though I feel like working out everyday to keep up my weight loss....
REST IS IMPORTANT!!
