Ladies, Ladies, Ladies....I'm tired! Actually that is a lie! I feel quite refreshed and invigorated. I actually believe I could walk five miles (which I will do this afternoon) and not feel as if I need to cut my feet off afterwards.
As you may recall, I missed three sessions the week of August 29-Sept 2. To top it off, on Monday (Labor Day) the gym closed at five o'clock and I had not received any notice from anyone to come in at an earlier time, so I didn't go. This meant that I had completely blown four sessions. I returned on Wednesday and was rewarded with Brandon. Here is the time that I will tell you that B is not a reward at all. Sure, he was handsome, but don't let that winning smile fool you. I began working with Brandon at 5:32 (I always notice the time), and had to ask for release (yes, I said I had to ask because he was not going to stop). When I stumbled on shaky legs towards the stretch area, Brandon on my heels, I noted the time was 6:49! One thing about him was that he did make sure I breathed correctly which really helped on all the exercises for my lower half. Mind you, everthing that I did fell in this range: 15 sets of 4! 60 squats! 60 dead lifts; 60 leg lifts; 4 sets of lunges (that REALLY hurt); 120 step ups (you know where you step up and down on a stool); 15 laps around the cage (thankfully, not all at once) and 60 hamstring whatevers; however, on the 60 calf thingies...I just gave out. I really don't know how Vicki and I made it home.
Last night (9/9), I had to endure a circuit with Kirby (squats--what's the deal with them?, sprints, kick-up, and the damn ropes) and a one hour step/ab aerobic class. Truly, I was glad Roy drove because it took every ounce of my being to walk out of the door. What makes it so bad is that Val has to run all the time and they are still taking it "easy" on me. WTH?!
However, this morning when I put on my jeans I noticed two things: the looseness of the jeans and the shape of my behind in them. Hoo-ya!
Seven more weeks!
Rainy Day Play...you keep a tapping and I'll keep a squatting. Cristin, we haven't heard from you, but I know you are maintaining and putting your best foot forward. I think we need to get together at the end of our respective Homecomings and have a celebration. Or, we could do it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Yes! Layaway at Wal-Mart is back!
