March Hip 2-b Square cards and some sore muscles . . .

Here are three of the cards I made with the March 2011 Hip Kit. The first two card designs were inspired by a Bo Bunny ad in the April CARDS Trends magazine.

For this card I just knew I wanted to use the "Be Yourself" tag from the Pink Paislee paper. I misted the Jillibean Soup corrugated button with Mr. Huey Apple Green.
The fourth card I made with the kit is coming up in a later post :)

Tuesday morning I attended a "Core Strength" class at the gym. Ever since beginning Physical Therapy last fall, I knew my "core" needed strengthening so I thought this class sounded good. It WAS good, but different than I thought. The instructor, Travis, had us doing 1-minute intervals at different stations with 15-seconds in between each station. There were 9 stations in all--3 for legs, 3 for arms, and 3 for abs. We rotated legs, arms, abs, legs, arms, abs, etc. We went through the rotation 3 times. It was crazy-intense but I LOVED every single minute of it! Totally my type of exercising. And I'm excited that I have a personal-training session with Travis Friday morning (a free one was part of my membership packge) because I can tell he is the type of trainer that will motivate me AND loves his job. But, my muscles sure are SORE! Good thing Wednesday is yoga . . . aaahhhh. :)

I know just the "sore" you are talking about. It is a nice sore that tells you, that you have worked out and makes you feel good.

Very pretty cards Melanie.

These cards are fantastic, lovely work indeed!! Does it feel good to be sore? Some people love to be sore as there is a sense of accomplishment attached to it!
