Oh, Tuesday.

My day was filled with helping my dad find a new walker, which is as thrilling as it sounds. 

That was followed by a trip to the gym to try out a Jillian MIchael's inspired class called 'BodyShred'. Folks, I cannot say this enough: this was the worst half hour I can recall. Sure, I'm chubby and lazy. I accept that. But I'm also really stubborn, so when I put something in my mind to try, I will try the hell out of it. But never again with this.  It's 3 minutes cardio, 2 minutes strength, 1 minute core, repeated for 30 minutes with zero breaks. I kept waiting for a break, so I could sneak out while people were hydrating. No dice. The instructor started yelling out 'come on team', 'keep pushing team, we've got this' and I wanted nothing more than to scream at her that I was on no one's fucking team. I apparently lacked the breath for sass, so I settled for muttering 'fucking motherfucker' repeatedly until it was over. 

How was your day?

    When I've done Jillian Michael's videos I liked that I felt perfectly fine cursing her out when things got uncomfortable.  I've never done them in a real group before though (just with my Mom a few times), and I do take breaks when things get too hard.   The pause button is my friend.

    This morning wasn't good since I was doing a temp job parking cars and it rained for 5 hours:(  But I came home to my new kitty and DH brought home wine so things are much better now.
  • I've seen people get botox shots on the tv, and they tell them to relax their faces. I'm pretty sure Jillian Michaels goes in and makes sure she's got her brow slightly furrowed into her INTENSE STARE and goes "TOX ME DOC. THIS SHIT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN."

  • @beethery, you should be a comedian. I literally lol'ed at that, and many other of your comments:)
  • Naw, I ain't that funny. I appreciate it though! But, I have to say that Jillian Michaels' expression reminds me of the intense stare of a majestic/terrifying bald eagle.
