Darin always asks me, i'd say at least 5-8 times per session, on a 1-10 scale (1 being easy and 10 being hard) what was that? In between sets of the craziest workout he's come up with to date, he asked me what the first set was, and I spouted off the first thing that came to mind which was "a solid 13", and I mean that with my entire heart.
We started off with deadlifts as usual, and the "training wheels" came off. It was pretty heavy, I'm not gonna lie. I think it was 125lbs. Then Darin dropped the "we're doing boot camp" bomb. We did 10 exercises with 30/30 timing, including goblet squats, planks, flamingo rows, push and presses, slams, total body extensions, mountain climbers, wood choppers, one arm swings and I'm missing one exercise and it's driving me crazy. I can do the exercise but I can't think of what he called it. Whatever it was, you took the weights, held them at your waist, then pulled your elbows up twords the ceiling. I probably didn't even describe that right but I'm dilerious right now. Planks were the last part of it, and after the first go around I KNEW he was gonna say we were gonna do it again because it was only like 4:30. While I was "resting" (waiting for death), he said "man these rest periods are long". Easy for the man with the timer to say! The second round, after the third exercise, I K.N.E.W. the rest interval was shorter. He revealed that it was 35/25 timing during the second round after I finished. Sneaky snake. That last plank felt like it lasted forever and 2 hours. I also felt like I did a ton of slams that second time. My shoulders/arms feel pretty iffy right now. Yesterday made me question my thoughts of going to the real boot camp on Saturday. He asked if I was going and I was like uh no, you ruined it haha. I probably will go, mostly because God knows I need to, and I have to work anyways so I might as well get in a 45 minute workout when I can because the chances of me taking myself to the gym and actually doing something after I work for 8-10 hours are slim.
As I expected, seeing as Darin even mentioned my face looked like "please let the world end now" during the workout, I felt like crap on the drive home. Like, I didn't get the "loving life" feeling. I got the "hope I don't throw up in my car" feeling. I cried a little on the way home (don't judge me). Those feelings only happen around once every eight workouts, so I'm kinda okay with it. I don't really have a choice haha. I'm also stressed out with work, so I think it's a combonation of everything. Sometimes I think he overestimates me/my ability. I just hope I can shake this weird mood of being stressed/grouchy and enjoy my Friday. I'm just a gem these days.
I am seriously exhausted. But after the inital "ow" when I woke up this morning, after I got moving, I don't feel bad. I feel pretty okay actually.
I also have to work alllllllllllll weekend, at least it's overtime. I've been to bed before 8pm the last 2 nights, actually. I'm going to make a fabulous grandmother one day. Seeing as I'm all by my lonesome at work today, I guess I should actually get some auditing done. Here's to hoping that if I do go to boot camp again, I don't pass out, throw up or die.
I need a mtn dew.
