Today has been perfect. Like. I could relive today over and over and be THRILLED to do it.
I got up later than usual (it was planned), went to starbucks, worked from like 8-2 and Kristy (our new girl) and I had a fabulous time annnd we got caught up! also, the whole "working weekends" thing is over :) then we left at 2, I hung out with Jer, worked out with Darin, and now I'm going to Nathan and Jen's for dinner.
The workout (which is the main purpose of this blog) was actually great. I wasn't expecting ridiculousness, I mean Darin is by no means out of line with what he asks me to do, though I might act like it sometimes. We did some incline presses with 10s/12s, then straight arm pulls, and the lat pull down. The only thing I wasn't THRILLED with today was the bike -_- there's that face. We did like 5 sprint intervals...and I don't know why I'm complaining because we only did 10 seconds of sprints, and when I do it on my own in the gym I usually do 25/35 on a higher resistance. I feel like I can confess that now because I'm not ON the bike haha. Oddly enough though, I can almost predict when things like that are gonna come up. I told Rebecca the other day that it had been a coons age since I'd actually been on the bike at O3. But after that we stretched. My quads were kinda on fire. I feel like sometimes he thinks some of this isn't work/hard for me because I don't make faces (generally) or complain (to his face). I have this weird mentality that's like, um I've had my back cut open at the age of 12, and I have 2 steel rods in my back. This isn't going to kill me so do it and don't be a baby. But I kinda hate stretching. I have some complaints there because it's kinda uncomfortable. I think it's actually my hips that have the problems but I don't know haha. 4 a week for the next 3 weeks. I'm hopeful I'll survive at this point, but that could be the post workout good mood talking.
Also. Today I wore a tank top for the first time in years (no lie) and I don't know how I feel about it. I got it from old navy for like 5 dollars. It was a nice idea in theory but I'm weird about my clothes.
Speaking of. I got some new jeans at target on Thursday....annnnnnd they were 2 sizes smaller than I bought at the start of the summer. Rebecca says they fit really well but I'm afraid they're too tight. I have buyers remorse and I'm thinking about taking them back. I keep waiting for them to be too small haha. I'm a pessimist if you couldn't tell by now.
Anyways, I have 2 whole days off from working and working out, and I'm excited about it. I've lost almost 1.5 pounds, which means I'm out of the 40lb purgatory. Thanks to Darin and his ass kicking workouts.
I'm off to never never land (is that from Peter Pan? or is that Michael Jackson's amusement park? I don't know what I'm saying) aka Nathan and Jennifer's!
