Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay. He is.) Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...

That was one tough workout to get through. I could swear that the last time we did that work out, it wasn't as hard to do but man am I feeling it today!
ReplyDeleteIt was! It felt like it was twice as long! I think I had it scheduled for the week after next but I'm reconsidering! LOL
DeleteI used to a zumba class with a fantastic instructor. I did 2 - 30 minute sessions during the week and a 60 minute one on Saturdays. I always felt pretty good about myself after the shorter ones, and then ended up in a heap of quivering flesh and sweat after the Saturday one. I loved it though and was sad when she changed her schedule and I couldn't go anymore.
ReplyDeleteI have a zumba instructor that I love and I feel the same way. The class is fun, I get a great workout but about halfway through I think I might die and wonder, "why did I want to do this again?" Haha! In the end, I never die but I feel it the next day!
DeleteIt's always funny when you block the "bad" parts of the workout because other parts of it are so good. When you're halfway, you start questioning your sanity but when it's over you're SO relieved!
DeleteWell the fact that it kicked both your booties, seems to say that it also did some real good--burning tons of calories--so GO Mr. & Mrs. You both ROCK!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sure did! Walking has been a real non-treat today! HA!
DeleteI have these old "The Firm" tapes from the 80s/90s. It's a GREAT workout series, one I highly recommend if people can find them on Amazon. I haven't tried the new DVDs because I love the old instructors and I have a lot of the routines memorized. (I've been doing these on and off since high school.)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I always think about how awesome and fun they are, and then I put one on and want to die about halfway through. Most of the workout DVDs I have are 30-40 minutes of pure cardio, but these workouts are a full hour of cardio + weights + core exercises with absolutely no "water breaks". I was in the best shape of my life when I did them religiously, so I need to man up and stop crying about them.
Lately? All of them! I am just that pathetic. :P
ReplyDeleteAnything that has to do with core work. It's VERY difficult for me to be on my knees for some of the exercises the left one because it just sucks, and the right one from the car accident last year. So they hurt on top of shaking like a Charlie Brown tree on a windy day working my non-existent abs!! =o)
ReplyDeleteBootcamp!!! Kills me every time.
