So. Thoughts from the weekend. Charlotte was fun and I didn't miss sweating my face off at boot camp haha but I guess I will be going back on Saturday. I went to the gym Sunday on my own and I basically had the time of my life. There was literally no one else there so I did everything I wanted with no fear of judgement. I don't know what has flipped my switch (as my papaw would say) but I'm beginning to really like working out. I say that though but I also say this, by working out I mean weights. I hate cardio. A lot.
Today's workout. Well, my hip has been hurting still so we started out stretching. Which was mildly uncomfortable and by mildly I mean it sucked. Then I got on the bike and did 2 minutes of that, then a standing row with 80lbs, an incline press with a 12 and then a 30 second plank. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Throw up. Not really. Though Darin did keep increasing the weight on the incline press. Which, I wasn't giddy but I like the incline press actually. I could have done without the planks though. Easily. Then we did everyone's favorite, note the sarcasm, the squat and press. Unlike it's equally hated cousin the push and press, you actually do a real squat and then a shoulder press. With the push and press you can kinda half ass your way through them. Then we turned around and did Romanian dead lifts with something I can't remember. But you pulled your elbows up twords the ceiling. I know this is probably not the place to announce this but I don't hate squats as much as I used to. Listen and listen good though. They aren't my jam but I think there's another exercise that shall remain nameless to protect the innocent from possibly having to do them at her workout tomorrow, that have taken the #1 spot on the "I'd rather throw up and eat it" than do this exercise list. Anyways, after that we commenced working on the gun show which has also become kinda fun because now when I flex there is actually something there haha which I find myself doing often. Does that make me a tool? I feel like it might. Also when we went to the concord mills mall, I went in the Nike and Reebok outlets and I tried on a pair of shorts and found myself judging them based on if I could do squats in them. I was the jackass in the fitting rooms exercising haha. Anyways, then we stretched and called it a day. I'm about to call it a night and go to sleep. But I also just remembered Darin told me to stretch. I mean. It's not like he told me to do 100 squats before I went to bed but I'd almost rather do that than mess with my hip. Ohhhh my life.
Look at me. Eating broccoli 2 times a day, starting to like working out and not hating squats. Sometimes I really do surprise myself. I'm not sure if these weird things on the backs of my legs are muscles or you know, tumors. I'm assuming they're muscles because its bilateral but when I was looking at my legs a little while ago, I noticed them when I stood up straight. Hopefully my assumption is correct.
Anyways. The new twilight comes out November 17th and pandora keeps playing the trailer which only adds to my readiness for the midnight showing of this movie. I'd also mention at this point Darin and I talked movies today and I think that's one thing we will never see eye to eye on. It's because he's so tall and I think it might be weird if he liked the same movies as a 23 year old girl, or if I liked the same movies as a grown man. I've never seen any of the alien movies, Star Trek, Star Wars, star anything but apparently I'm missing out. The only thing I'm missing now though is this movie called the back of my eyelids that's playing in my bed. And with that. I'm out!
