Hammies Schmammies.......

Felt like complete doo yesterday when I went into BC because the night before was Fat Tuesday.  I have not had fast food in a month and thought, "I should, obviously, ruin everything I have done the last month and stuff my face with chemicals and grease".  So, after Cam's basketball game - she played AWESOME by the way, I told Chris to pull into Bueno to get me a Mexi Dips and Chips (because who doesn't love a meal comprised of bowls made out of chips and ladel cheese!?!?!).  Fast forward to Wednesday at BC....yikes.  And, of course, Josh was all "let's work hard" and "don't quit".....and all that was running through my head was, "I wanna be whiny and throw a pity party because I ate like poo and now I feel like it".  Apparently, pity parties are not encouraged nor are they acknowledged at BC....but I sure threw a major one in my head! 

Speaking of heads, BC was on Ash Wednesday and Molly and I still had our ashes from Mass on our foreheads when we walked into BC.  It inspired us to hope that the stench that was coming from both of us during exercise was all the sin seeping out of our bodies. :)

We did 30 sets of an exercise and then lunged across the room to do another 30 set of something else....and then lunge back to the other side, and continued that for like 4 or 5 hours.  Okay, it was 40 minutes but it seemed like maybe I fell into the Bermuda Triangle of time.  Everything started blurring together - especially when he had us partner up and one person, while in a plank, held their partner's feet so they could do sit ups.  And it's so funny (not in a ha-ha, hilarious way but in an interesting, want-to-cry sort of way) when Josh says we only have to do it for one minute.  One minute?  Sounds super easy, right?  OMG- I can't even tell you what goes through my mind during that minute.  Well, yes I can- I do the alphabet in my head and EVERY TIME I get to "z" I think, "Ok that was probably 30 seconds".....um, nope- not even close.  It never fails that right when I am thinking I am at least halfway through, Josh or Terri update us with, "Nice, guys!  45 seconds left!".....CRAP!  The first 15 seconds were torture, pure hell, horrendously painful and I still have 45 seconds left?!?!?!  HATING LIFE!!!!  Yep- that about sums up what that one minute is like! :)

Another super-easy exercise Josh had us do involved our hamstrings and paper plates.  You lay on your back, and put your feet on the paper plates.  Then raise your butt and slide your legs all the way out and bring your heels back towards your butt then slide them out again.  Ya, I know - even reading about it hurts.  Who really needs hamstrings anyway?  Because I'm pretty sure I busted mine during that exercise! Plus, I put on a show of how uncoordinated I am because I kept losing the plate and then would only be able to slide one leg and then fall.  I'm so smooth. Molly and I were lying next to each other while we were doing these and she and I decided if we could get through 10 reps, it would be a miracle.

We had to run a lap at the end, because we can't seem to end the session until I want to puke or die or both.  We had 2:30 to run 400M and I ran it in 1:56.  Pretty sure I used to run that in like 1:15 in high school (during basketball practice) - which isn't fast or anything- but a lot faster than 1:56!  I'm sure it's the baby weight I am still carrying is hindering my speed.  OH WAIT - my youngest kid is 6.  How long can I use her as an excuse for the size of my butt?  Dang it - I need to borrow someone's baby STAT...then I can at least lie and use the baby weight excuse :)

High point:  We DID finish the hamstring torture and somehow kept our hammies from popping like rubber bands.
Low Point:  Lent started yesterday and I am giving up meat the entire 40 days and 40 nights.  Pray for me....and for everyone around me that they don't become the victims of my anemic rage. 

Oh and see below for my mad planking skills (I say that with laughter!) on Chris' police car.  OK Fit has Wednesday challenges to see what kind of weird places we can do an exercise......so fun!
