Day 2: The Complaining Starts.

So, today I was convinced. R is trying to kill me. We started off the early morning at 9am, and had a healthy fruit smoothie and went to the gym. Apparently, the plastic top for the blender fell in while R was making the smoothie (she failed to mention this to me) and what I thought were seeds from the berries, were actually shards of plastic in my mouth. Yeah, this is the first sign of R trying to murder me. When I complained about it, she said, "Shut up and lay on the bench. Time for crunches." This morning's workout consisted of crunches, arm lifts, and weight training. As I am pouring sweat, and dying of exhaustion, R throws me a curve ball, torturing me yet again, until my arms are ready to fall off, is not good enough for her.

Squats... Really? She wants me to balance this big ass yoga ball behind my back against the wall, and start squatting up and down and up and down. The pain I feel in my legs, ass and thighs is pretty unbearable and start yelling,

Me: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? KILL ME?!"
R: "Shhhh, you need to have your legs a little farther apart and go a little lower...now hold that position...hold it...hold it.."
Me: "I hate you."

Out of principal, I complained today. I feel like no extraneous workout is complete without some form of bitching and/or complaining. If there's nothing to complain about, you aren't working hard enough.

On to the treadmill. Today, we increased my endurance and strength levels! Run 1.5 minutes, walk 3.5 minutes, walk 1.5 minutes, walk 3.5 minutes...this cycle continued for twenty minutes. I was able to run half a mile! HOW SICK IS THAT?!...I know to some you may be thinking a half a mile is nothing, but really it's an accomplishment when you have excess weight on you...Damn it made me proud!

1:30PM: Storage Wars--it was all crap. I left and didn't bother bidding, Rachael and Rich stayed.

4:00pm: ITS TIME FOR WATER FITNESS! Again with the front stroke, back stroke, breast stroke, laps, squats, and kicks in the pool. I love working out in the water. It really pushes your muscles and the water works as great resistance against you. It makes you burn!

R: Stephanie, you cannot sit and do kicks in the water.
Me: R, I am holding my head back on the step, my body isn't touching the stairs and I am doing proper kicks, let it go and shut up.

I always accuse R of cheating in the pool. I am convinced she does.

9:30pm: The PROOF of R trying to murder me....She decides it would be a great idea to walk 2 miles home pre-hurricane from Trivia Night, while I am chafing and wearing flip flops. Although it was a great end of the night exercise, a great cool down, awesome exercise and fun, I was exhausted and grouchy the walk home.

R: Stephanie, Move a little faster, pick up the pace here.
Me: Listen I am not the one who wanted to walk home, I am walking as fast as I can for someone who is wearing flip flops, and chafing, so kiss my ass.

11:01pm: In bed, writing a blog, enjoying my other gallon of water, and going to bed.

HOLY CRAP THUNDER!!
