My 1.5 hour Routine.

Ironic

Is it ironic that I sit here and watch Biggest Loser while eating a bowl of ice cream. I bet the contestants would really enjoy that huh? Well, since they cant I will.
Have a ubber fabulous night people.

PS. I'm doing sprints in the morning, yes RUNNING, and maybe some free weights for the muffin top. Wish me luck.

Dear Lady behind me in step today.

Would you please calm down because your making me feel a tad uncomfortable. Often I missed my steps because I was so concentrated on how over dramatic your ever move was. Now don't get me wrong I love someone who is into their work out, but you my dear were OUT OF CONTROL.

XOXO,

Danielle

So today I didn't get to class early enough {tear} and low and behold I was stuck in front of the crazy maniac stepper. You know the one who is so over dramatic with every pop, lunge, 180, and step she can do. It was so bad it made me feel uncomfortable, thank goodness she left the class early I was able regain my attention to the steps and not that physco behind me.

Rotation

Now I don't have an abundance of gym clothes... so I tend to rotate my gym "outfits".
You think anyone has caught on to my rotation?? LOL Hope not, they might making fun of me in
in their blog!!!!

the dreaded tread mill

Tell me I'm not the only person who wonders when the person behind you is going to leave so you can get off the dang machine already. Talk about PRESSURE.
I feel like if they are on the machines before me, and I get off the machine before they do then ill look like a big loser. Seriously.

So I got on the tread mill today motivated by my friend who said shes "jogging for 30 minutes as day". I woke up late this morning and so I hit the gym in the evening. I hate working out in the evening, the only good thing about going is that my kids get completely worn out from playing in the kid zone there. I on the other hand feel like death is calling me.

So back to my story. I got on the dreaded tread mill, and I HATE, LOATHE, CANT run for longer than the 100 yards I did in high school track team as a sprinter.
But, I tried anyway 6.5 ....6.6....6.7 ...6.8 ...okay I can do this. It isn't so bad, then I felt like I was having a heart attack, panting like I just ran a marathon, and its quite apparent that my body hates me. This body was not meant to run, but then I still have the guy behind me, I CANT stop or ill be a big loser, so I keep running.......and running.....then I slow down for a lap, then I start running again, the guy would NOT leave.

Thank gawd my weight class started shortly after, who knows when that guy would have left! Whew!

Or maybe I should be over this I hate to run attitude. Hmm.. Decisions...
I think ill make mondays my running day, just to get over it. Ill keep you posted on that one, and how long THAT last!

Another Gym NONO

I'm not the fashion police at the gym by all means.
Today my friend told me my pants were too big (Ohhhh compliment, score..anyway)
But, when you show up to class is black VELOUR pants hanging off of your bum, and a pink hoodie with drawstring PINK stripped sweater, you have got to think WTF was she thinking?
Mind you, this IS Texas and we are already hitting the 80 degrees. Velour pants+Texas heat---Really? I don't get it.
Do people not plan coming to the gym, surely they do?

Jeans+Gym= WTF?

Now I can understand people not being super organized and planning out their day, really I can, as a mother of three there isn't much planning.

However when this lady comes to the Step Class in JEANS (high waisted, cropped and rolled of coarse cause they "make you look thinner" right?) first thing in the morning, I wonder in my head WTF is she thinking, and then I have yet again another thing to post about on my blog.

So thank you to the very smart woman in jeans at 815 in the morning for coming to Step in your blue jeans.

PS. So I was just thinking after I posted this, maybe they were her skinny goal jeans and she was so thrilled to get in them that she wore them to show off her accomplishment??
Eh? Probably not.
