INSANITY. Day 12.

By
The day got away from me. Stayed up waaaaay to late last night. Had some fun with the guildies downing Onyxia, although I got meself incindered fairly early on. One of my favorite people-Shrinnpoof-was also on, and once again we were Queens of the Emotes. Brought back memories of running Kara, us busily whispering and totally not paying attention to where we were going ... The good 'ol days.

But back on topic. Stayed up too late, woke up not wanting to do anything. We're in the difficult portion of any exercise routine: the 2nd week. The first week you're all hyped up, carrying through on pure adrenaline. The second week? You're starting to question why the heck you wanted to do this in the first place and you don't yet have the results you're working so hard for. But we are soldiering through, encouraged and bolstered by the following text from my baby brother, who is also doing INSANITY:

"The second month of INSANITY is insane."

Whee. Just whee. So I'm constantly reminding myself why I'm doing this: marathon shape. Marathon shape. And it's only 40 minutes. After a marathon that's nothing. Mentally I'm incredibly prepared for INSANITY. Physically is slowly catching up:) My words of workout wisdom for the day?

"Have all of your gear ready the night before."

Seriously. More than once the fact that my shoes had been waiting for me all night long is the only reason I've gotten up.

INSANITY. Day 2.

By
My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
