The first day of my summer break and I don't feel very good at all. Last night was my first Aquacize class for the summer. I stepped right back into the routine without taking into consideration that I've not done any of this kind of physical activity since the beginning of last August. My muscles in my arms, neck and shoulders were not just sore, but literally burning most of the night so I did not sleep well the entire night. I got to the point where I felt a little better in the morning. My calf muscles are sore, but other than that I thought I was getting better.

I dropped the kids off at camp, did the grocery shopping, cleaned up the kitchen and the fruits and vegetables, did some laundry and then went to get the kids. We had mac 'n cheese for lunch and then I could not keep my eyes open. I told the kids they had to wait until 2:00 to get in the pool so that gave me a little over an hour to nap while they watched some television.

At that point I became completely unproductive the rest of the day. I did make supper, but that was it. I'm still not feeling great and have had some unpleasant trips to the bathroom. I guess maybe it was a little more than just doing too much too soon with exercising.
