CPR, squats and Napoleon Dynamite's girlfriend.

I am so freaking tired. First of all let me say, basically all during my work out, I felt like my hair was tore up from the floor up. I probably took it down and pulled it up 5 times. I looked like Napoleon Dynamite's girlfriend. The one with the crazy side pony tail? yeah. her. She and I were one in the same. for real. and I have mt.kilamanjaro (I know I mutilated that spelling but I'm too lazy to google it) and friends on my face. It's like I'm 14 again. 

Anyways, we kept with the "slow it down" theme, which was again, fine with me. I think he only had to tell me to slow down like twice. We didn't do dead lifts yesterday, we started out with the BPTs (see the last entry if you don't know what I'm referring to) except not on the smith machine. I think I got through like 3 sets, but on the last set I think I got to the 9th or 10th and had to bail. My arms were REAL tired. Then we laid down on the mats (if that was the end of this thought, that would have been fine too) and did these things called "CPR" and straight leg raises. the CPR thing was basically a crunch with your arms in the air...kind of like you were giving CPR to Jesus (clever), except it was much slower than you really do CPR and Jesus doesn't need me to break his ribs and zyphoid process during the process. I basically needed CPR after all that. Moving on, then we did these things that I really did hate with my entire heart. I don't know what in the world they were, but it you held this bar, and then pulled it up over your head, then down, then to the right side, then back to the left. that was 1. So we "only did 5", yeaaaaa. bad news is, I may be bad at math but I'm not that bad. It was 15. Darin basically said "sorry I'm not sorry". He saved the best for last, and I think we all know that's sarcasm. He stopped at the weights and looked thoughtful and said he was trying to decide what weight, and I suggested 5's. I got 12's. What did I need them for? The return of squats. Not just any squats, oh no. Squat and presses. or whatever they're called. You do a squat, and when you stand up, press the weight up. Yea. It's real fun. I suggest everyone give them a go. I almost started complaining, especially since Jennifer and I did the hack squat machine yesterday but I doubt it would have changed anything haha. Maybe I will start complaining. Since we did a lot of arm stuff again today, after the first set he gave me 10's. Still not 5's. Then after that, we did "5 special squats". I had some special words going through my head at this point. Ones I don't care to share with my blog followers who may or may not be sailors. They were squats like we used to do at the beginning of every single stinkin' workout but 'slower' ... I don't know how well I did on that but I was kinda over it at that point. Then we stretched. I'm not sure what kind of sorcery they have going on there but I'm planning on going to boot camp again Saturday. Seriously. I remember saying in early June "you won't catch my dead, lifeless, dehydrated body at boot camp". Never in my LIFE did I think I'd voluntarily get up at 7am on Saturday morning to go to anything called "boot camp". I hope it rains Saturday morning. I hate the outdoors and I'd rather die than run up that hill again....and I use the term "run" very loosely. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my life. Oh, and apparently we're "boxing" next week. That will surely be a raging success. I'm not a fighter, I'm more of a go with the flow/chill out type. I've never thrown a punch in my life. I guess you never know if you don't try. Who knows. I might be the next muhammad ali. Except I'd like to keep both my ears. I really don't know what I'm saying. so probably not haha.

I actually did really good eating yesterday. I had cereal for breakfast, a turkey burger from the cafeteria and grilled chicken for dinner...funny story about lunch. I decided I didn't want whatever the coffee cart has (Atlanta bread...how sad, I know the schedule) so I went up there and decided to try the turkey burger but anyone who works at the hospital knows how sketch the cafeteria's food can be...so I got the turkey burger and some mac and cheese, JUST in case the turkey burger was gross. But lucky for me, it wasn't. it was actually really good, and I prefer it to a normal hamburger any day of the week. Plus it had like 35 grams of protein (so said the thing at the grill)....then I had greek yogurt and oatmeal pre-workout. Darin gave me some protein powder that's flavored like "dutch chocolate". Apparently you mix it with 4-10 ounces of water and drink it after you work out. My ADD kicked in, and on the way home when I was stopped at red lights, I was shaking it, and then turning it over (he put it in a glad container, and the lid had the logo thing on it, and when you hit it a couple times, the powder took the shape of the lid!) and seeing if I could get the "glad" label to show up in the powder when I turned it right side up. Yea. I had a long drive home and every red light from here to Antarctica caught me.

So, in the process of writing this between last night and this morning, I decided to get up and make the drink and woman up (I did this last night around 6pm). It wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined. I measured out a cup of water because I was under the assumption that that's 8 ounces, and hopefully I'm right. It was kinda thick-ish....more like a melted milkshake but hear me now and hear me loud, it didn't taste like one. It kinda tasted a little like diluted unsweetend hot chocolate. I think I could get used to it, if I used super cold water. It had this weird foam on top that I didn't drink. I don't feel any different. I dont know if I should or not haha. Maybe I'll start drinking that stuff out of my superman cup, so I can't see it/can tell myself "superman would drink this". Lately I've been bargaining with myself, as weird as that sounds. Like, Monday I wanted chic fil a, so I said. Nessie, you can get tea if you get a salad, or you can get a sandwich and water. I don't know what that has to do with anything. but whatever.

Anywho. I need some sleep. Bad. I've been going to bed super early, like I'd say 8:30 is staying up late these days. However, I've worked like a bazillion days in a row with no end in sight. Whatever, I'll have a ton of overtime on this check, so hopefully uncle sam will keep his paws off it and I'll get to enjoy the fruits of my labor one of these days.

"I could kick your ass" by justin moore is playing on shuffle right now..... and how sad, my arms are too tired to reach over and change it. hope my manager doesn't come in here haha. how embarrassing. Time to get to work. uuuuuuuuugh. I'm over this whole "having a job" thing. I'm ready for a vacation. annnnnd some caffeine. and food. I'm starving.
