took a hot bath last night and not too sore today. i have this magnesium oil that comes in a spray bottle, when i have sore muscles it works wonders. put some on sore places this morning and did the workout and i feel great today. i was worried about starting to do this because i had tweaked my back about a month ago and still recovering, but lo and behold it seems like the ab work is actually helping the back and i am feeling better in that regard! I am so happy when i excercise and then have so much more time to do stuff in my day, no more hour work outs, and find myself thinking, does this really work? But, I had stopped losing weight on my regular routine so i am ready to give it a try. I am also doing yoga afterwards, some days, and that really helps. no bath tonight (not in the mood) so I'll see how I feel in the morning. Also, I don't have weights yet, but planning on going into town tomorrow and will get some then. i figured i might as well start doing it without the weights, rather than waiting. ;P cheers! This was actually day 3 for me.
