Hello all. I know I haven’t been around much and you can blame it on my consistent workout routine. I am a calm and relaxed individual these days. Okay, let me stop lying. I have no excuse for my absence, except that I haven’t been motivated. I just thought saying that working out sounded cooler.
Speaking of which, do you guys want to take a peek at my workout diary? Sure you do!
Day 1:
Dear Diary:
Here I go, day one of the new me. Let me paint the picture for you: I have on my cute workout outfit, water bottle and high energy. I grab my weights; turn on the video, feeling pumped and ready to go. I am doing the exercises at full speed, lunging from side to side, sweating like a dog, heart rate’s elevated, and I know I’m burning calories. Man I can’t wait for the cool down, this had to be at least a 30 minute workout! Whew, finally the woman says “let’s stretch it out”. YES! I made it through!! Then she goes on to say “let’s get started!!” HUH? What you mean let’s get started? I look at the timer on the DVD and it says 6:59. That was just the warm-up? Next thing I know the music is up-tempo, she’s doing high reps and I am looking lost. And just before I felt like I was about to pass out she says “are you smiling?” No lady I am not smiling, I am barely breathing. You call this a beginner’s workout?!!!
Day 2:
Dear Diary:
Sigh, here I go again. Today I did the exercise bike. Is it normal for my legs to feel like they are still moving even though I am not on the bike anymore?
Day 3:
Dear Diary:
Okay this lady is crazy!! I swore I saw her eye twitching, these workouts are not normal.
Day 4:
Dear Diary:
I think I am getting the hang of this. I smell like an old person full of Icy Hot, but that’s the norm right?
Day 5:
Dear Diary:
I don’t want to workout today. Do we still have that apple pie in the freezer?
So guys this is just how I felt at the beginning. And while I am doing better 2 months later, I still dread working out. ‘But like anything that is worth having, you have to work for it. I will be camera ready soon. Be on the lookout for me in T.I’s coming home video!! Holla!!!!!!!!!!!
