So today was day 2 of 2 in a row. I don't know why I'm complaining because I used to do 4 days a week plus boot camp. Old age is a killer. just kidding I'm only 23 and lazy. Also I can't promise where this blog is gonna go, so consider yourself warned.
Yesterday was brutal. Excessively brutal. Which I believe is a crime. Maybe. It was insane to say the least. It was like boot camp on steroids. We did 6 exercises for 1 minute each with the only rest being the time it took me to move to the place the exercise was happening. We did these things called zercher squats, you hold the bar in the crook of your elbow and squat. I actually prefer those to any other squat. That was exercise #1 and #4. There was the incline press, seated row, lat pull down and dumbbell flys. 3 rounds. It rivaled the sweat production of bikram yoga. Almost. I didn't hate it, but I hate the way my legs feel right now. My quads feel like someone has taken a pizza cutter to the muscles. 450 calories in 50 minutes isn't too shabby though...and if I compare that to what I was capable of 8 months ago. Well, within 1 round I would have passed out. So, progress is progress. My left hip has started hurting and I don't know why and it's driving me nuts. I've tried stretching and it still hurts. I try not to complain too much, mostly because I don't want to end up having to use the foam roller because in my world that's the equivalent of having a tooth pulled sans the anesthesia. Also in my world Mountain Dew is good for you. Yes. I'm still talking about that. But my hip started hurting Monday evening and then I was supposed to just walk and stretch on Tuesday but because I don't listen, I decided to try and run. That didn't work. 3.5 intervals in and I ended up laying in the field near my house, until my dog decided to try and touch my brain with her tongue via my nose. Lesson somewhat learned.
Today, thankfully, was less intense. The only thing that wasn't sore? My shoulders. What did we do today? Shoulders. Good news is, I really like 90% of the stuff we did today. Except this thing called "running the rack", I'd rather run home just so we're clear. My shoulders don't hurt...yet, they're just tired. Like if I try to raise my arms, they start shaking. My appetite still hasn't came back to normal yet. Darin suggested some herbal appetite stimulants from nature's pharmacy and now I realize this sounds like I'm talking about weed. I'm not. I learned a lot in my 5th grade D.A.R.E program, just kidding. I don't remember anything from that except the mascot was a ginger lion in a black shirt and there were mouse pads talking about giving people the cold shoulder. I'm not entirely sure I really don't have A.D. D. Anyways, I realllllllllllllllllllllly am kinda afraid if I do get them, I'm going to become a bottomless pit and gain 100 pounds. According to my scale this week, I've actually lost some weight....to the tune of 4lbs. Which technically brings me up to 80lbs in 9 months....now, if that's water weight, muscle mass, fat, or you know brain cells, I'm not super sure. Since the crazy workout on Wednesday, I've been nuts. I got lost on the way to work, then I also drove off with my favorite purple water bottle on top of my car, effectively ruining it, and I couldn't answer the question of what 15-8 was. Yeah. I said 9 I think. I'm not sure. I'm not good at much other than being a snarky bitch, so math isn't in my bag of tricks.
Anywho, this is my life. Today has felt like Friday but unfortunately it's not and I still have to work tomorrow. So thus ends another poorly written blog post.
