Oh man I am SO stupid.  I hurt myself, but good.

Normally, every day I do one hundred crunches.  It's a great way to warm up in a hurry.  I do them on my inflated exercise ball (so nice & comfy!) and I do 50 in a slow measured way, then 25 as quick "pulse" crunches, a pause to breathe, then 25 more quick ones.  Fun! 

But then yesterday I was thinking "I wonder how MANY pulse crunches I can do?"  Dangerous thought!  So I just started doing sets of 25...and I just kept doing them.  I did eight sets and I felt fine but a little burny around the middle & I said "ok...200 is twice as many as I normally do so I better stop".  About an hour later the aching started.  By midnight my abs were spasming in an alarming way.  All night long I was achey and miserable...every time I rolled over it felt like I'd been kicked in the ribs.

It's better today but still very hurty...you use abs for EVERYthing, you know?  Sneezing, coughing, standing...  Ouch.  I went grocery shopping & it was an experience.  Note to self; NEVER double your workout all in one day.  Because I was such a wise guy yesterday I'm not doing ANY ab work today at all.  So it goes...
 
Everyone in this house has a cold but me.  It is snowing, therefor the shoveling is entirely up to me.  I wonder how much it's gonna hurt?

EDIT!   Hey [livejournal.com profile] golden_meliades , I got your card...thank you!  It's so cute & I just love the envelope.
