Another Round

Get your popcorn ready! There are a few things to report today.

Pappasitos was a HUGE success!! It's a bit blurry, but you get the picture :-)

I went another round with Killer today. She thought core exercises would be best...SURE! WHY NOT! I was laying on my back, holding 5lb weights in each hand. The task was to lift my legs straight up in the air, and lift my body (with the 10lb total) to meet my legs there in the middle. Here's what it's supposed to look like (add weights in the hands):

What actually happened, though, was that I rolled on over to the left...sigh! How is I keep losing balance when I'm already on the ground???!!! I did, then, find my balance, and stay in one place after that. GEESH!! She says, "Your core needs to get stronger." You think?! LOL!!

I didn't go to the gym yesterday, so I stuck around a bit longer for cardio today. While on the treadmill, I look out and see this 80ish looking Grandma out there pushing weights!! GO GRANNY!!! She had on a cute pink top to match her cute pink pants and shoes. Hysterically awesome!! She and The Mick need to meet! Maybe not...he's married.

Also, I would like to mention that of all the muscle groups, my calf muscles get the most angry when worked on. Arms, core, chest, back, other legs parts, just get sore and achey. I now know why all those workout people walk funny. It's not a funky strut of maladaptive confidence...it's calf pain! It's like knives shooting through my legs. I can't even straighten my legs to walk without some sincere effort. And then that effort continues. I can initially stand on my tip-toes, and work REAL HARD to get flat footed. It's one foot at a time. Granted this only lasts a couple hours, but man-OH-man, it's a rough couple of hours!

Ok, that's a lot already. If I'm getting antsy typing, maybe you're getting antsy reading.

Later taters!
