Winter workouts.

Today confirmed one thing I've known for a while.

I'm crazy as can be for this whole 4 a week thing. Sweet baby Jesus and his teen mom Mary. I feel like death.

Weirdly enough, the only thing that hurt after boot camp was my right shin bone muscle. I DONT KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED. Whatever though, I think tomorrow morning will make up for feeling okay on Sunday haha.

Anywho, my schedule changed this week since I'm doing the 4/week and Jennifer is joining me tomorrow and Wednesday for our first partner sessions. It felt weird being at the gym about the time I generally leave. Also, you know what? It's SO STINKIN COLD outside. I hate winter. With my whole heart. I know it's not technically winter but it's not summer so it might as well be. I walked on the treadmill with my arms crossed today not because I was angry, but because I was going to freeze to death in a matter of minutes. That's why I titled this "winter workouts" haha. Anyways, so we started out with 10 squats, but apparently these were like the best ones ever. Know why? this entire time, my feet were too close together. I thought that's how you did them. But the wider my stance, the deeper I can go and apparently they were good. I still hate them with everything inside of me. Then we did this 5 exercise sequence. Seated rows, these weird things that made me feel like I was training to be the incredible hulk, these pull downs, shoulder presses and inverted rows. 10 of each. 3 times through. For those of you like me who suck at math, that's 150 reps of arm exercises. That wasn't even the best part of the day haha. During the second round, it was like 20 pounds less on the seated rows, I honestly didn't notice, but he did haha. Then we did this circuit of squats (seriously. I really, really try not to complain but I'd almost rather do anything else), a 30 second plank and then total body extensions. So after 2 times through of that, I got a break and I thought I heard him putting that step together and I thought, if there's a God, that's Travis and his client. Nope. Sadly it was for me. I do mean sadly, because if there's one thing I hate more than planks, it's anything on that stupid ugly step. We did step ups holding like 10 pounds, for 45 seconds on each leg, then some stinkin cleans and presses on each arm. I felt like I'd been thrown inside a huge blender and someone had pressed "puree" haha. Seriously. not a joke. I was feeling kinda not so good at the end. Like nauseated. And I mean about to blow groceries at any moment, so I kinda wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. With my anxiety, that would have done me in. I probably would have to quit going to O3 if I had thrown up. Thankfully, I didn't. My sweet sister, for an early birthday gift, surprised me and renewed with Darin for me! One week from Thursday I will be 23! Which. what?! My birthday is my FAVORITE day of the year. Seriously. I dont think 5 year olds get as excited as me about their birthday.

I decided to get it together and declare this week a "no eating out" week. So far so good, but it's day one. I feel like all I did today was eat, drink water and go to the bathroom. I tried to eat like every 3 hours ish, but I never really ate ALL of whatever I was snacking on. But that's fine. Progress is progress. I had 1059 calories today and it wasn't of complete crap like mcdonalds chicken nuggets. I tried a sandwich on the wheat bread....it wasn't terrible, it wasn't my everything, but I guess I'll eventually get used to it. I heard "the whiter the bread, the quicker you're dead" so I decided I should get it together. Mom made this baked chicken and these potatoes...my favorite meal. There are some brownies she also made......... we'll see how tonight goes haha.

Anyways, tomorrow starts the partner sessions. My schedule for all of the stalkers and murderers out there is basically Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday this week. I hope I survive. If not. Rebecca gets all my wordly possessions which include my new iPhone, and that's about all I've got. hahah. Seriously. I need to get in the shower and in the bed before too long. I started reading my sisters keeper, which, I'm actually reading 4 books right now at the same time, but that's fine with me because I love reading and if I could get paid to read all day every day, I'd be in heaven. Like I said, this blog is pretty therapeutic for me in that I just start typing and it's like word vomit, and I actually feel a little better after I write all this out. So I'm gonna try to do it after every workout, but they may not be as detailed haha. So. That's all I've got. Oh, no it's not. I found this quote on pinterest I love that I'll leave you with. "those who move forward with a happy spirit will find things always work out". I love that.

Ok. Tootles.
