Insanity.

You know how in the beginning of one of the twilight books, Bella starts out with a quote about death being easy? (I believe it's the first one. I'm losing my touch. I used to know those books like the back of my hand). Well. I'm dying. kind of.

I really do wonder how Darin comes up with this stuff and by stuff I mean these absolutely insane combination of exercises that no one in their right mind could cook up. Shaun T or whatever his name is has nothing on Darin Starr. Nothing.

Today was rough, to say the least. Annnnnnnnd here I sit, making carpool plans for boot camp. I told Darin boot camp was a solid maybe, but I think we all know by now I'm crazy as can be and will be there. Especially since I have some fabulous friends to accompany me.

Today started off with cardio. [insert excited face here] because I certainly wasn't excited. Cleans and presses on my right side, cleans and presses on the left, push and presses and then these ins and outs with that dang medicine ball. 2 rounds with 30/15 timing which, lets be clear, is stillllllllllllll not my jam. The first sets of cleans and presses were fine, but round 2 I was not ready for. Directly after that, we moved on to offset Romanian dead lifts. Which, let me be blunt, blow. They absolutely destroy my legs. I like to think I hid this pretty well today, but after we did them, I could only do 7 on each side, I literally couldn't stand up. I leaned against the wall so I wouldn't look like a complete weakling. which, lets be honest, we all know I am. Then we did some rack dead lifts, and he got a little too carried away with the weight and I couldn't lift it. Don't worry though, he adjusted it and I got to do 3 sets of them. I was worried I wouldn't get to do them all. I feel like at times my sarcasm is tangible. Then we some "super/stupid sets" that were kinda like the straight arm pulls except you tuck your elbows in, and the others you were pulling down with a different grip. Sadly, that wasn't all we did today. We then moved on to abs. We did these transverse crunches (right knee, left elbow) and CPR's and instead of having my hands in the air be empty, I got a 10lb medicine ball. I guess that's so if Jesus needs super forceful CPR I'll be prepared. too far? I don't know anymore. Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed. Bruno Mars sums up my life better than this recap. I'd say the exercise of the day were the straight arm pulls/the other thing I don't know the name of. I feel like all I do in this blog is complain, which, I mean I guess that's true, but like I've said before. If I didn't get some sort of weird satisfaction out of accomplishing all this, a)I would have quit loooooooonnnnnnnggggg ago and b)I wouldn't be recruiting people to come to boot camp with me. I also have this weird habit of kind of you know, not talking to Darin during our sessions. Jennifer even said Thursday, "I wish Vanessa talked more". I said, me too. haha. One day I'll grow up.

So, after I buy the guns n roses "appetite for destruction" album on iTunes. Guess what I found out? my dad has them all. wish I could say I was surprised.

Boot camp is going to be dicey tomorrow, I can already tell. What I call my "pusher" muscles, are already sore, and my legs are becoming that way. I'm hoping some ibuprofen and some sleep will help with that. Whatever though. I'm FINALLY out of the 40lb purgatory and I'm at 44 lbs lost, I think.

I discovered the "free books" category on iBooks today and well, I think we all know what I'm going to do right now. Lay in my bed and read. pending survival of boot camp, there may or may not be another post tomorrow. I know you're all anxiously awaiting that literary masterpiece. so that's all for now!
