16 workouts later and I'm down 35 pounds and I can no longer be considered for gastric bypass =] it seems like a weird thing to be happy about, when I think about it, but I am nonetheless.
Workout #16 was good times...said no one ever. Okay fine, it wasn't as bad as Thursdays. I was actually dreading going to the gym ALL day yesterday and my work day flew by at warp speed. My legs were STILL sore, so he took pity on me and we only did 2 sets of 12 squats, praise. the. Lord. however, we did dead lifts, and I can lift 90 pounds. It doesn't seem like much at all when he told me some people can dead lift like 1300 pounds. First of all, WHY WOULD YOU?! are you trying to move cars out of your way like you think you're batman or something?! second of all, how long would it take to load all that up on a rack? it seems like a waste of time. Anyways, we did like 5 sets of 6 dead lifts, then we started out doing modified burpees, but apparently I need to learn to be more theatrical/complain more/ because we ended up doing like 2 sets of 10 boscu ball burpees because the modified ones on the rack/box weren't hard enough for me. First let me say, I hate that damn ball. second of all, it's not really a ball. it's a half. so that's a misleading name. third of all, i have the balance of a drunken racoon. so having to balance that and Darin like, laid down on the ground so far behind me and was like, bring your feet alllllll the way back here, made it about 100x harder. Then we did these rows and this other shoulder thing where he made me pinky promise that I wouldn't be afraid to look stupid...which I was like ummm. i guess haha. Looking stupid is one of my biggest worries in life. How sad, I know. There are people dying of starvation and homelessness and all, but my biggest worry is that I'm going to look stupid. #firstworldproblems
He gave me this "men's health muscle chow" book to get recipes out of, and I haven't found much in it that I'd actually eat. It all sounds gross. I'd rather not eat chicken salad (in the first place) but if I had to, I dont want it to be made with plain yogurt, spicy brown mustard, pine nuts and celery. No. that's just a mess. He told me to skip the first three chapters, so naturally I read them. The book seems like a mess in general and I feel like if you eat protein all the time with every meal in every single thing you eat, your kidneys will start having issues. But I'm not a nutritionist or anything fancy, so what do I know? haha
My shoulders/back hurt today, but no worries for those of you who know about my surgical history, it's the muscles, not my actual back.
So in a nutshell, not much has changed haha. I'm still sore and tired, and ready to be home from work.
That's all for this installment of you wear a size what?! stay tuned for your local news directly after. okay. that's a lie. but legit. I have to go.
