Burpee's = Death

          Almost a week into 2013 and if I do say so myself, I've done fairly well. Well until today, but today doesn't count...Healthy eating has been quite a journey. I find that if I throw a ridiculous amount of veggies into a bowl and squeeze a lemon or lime over it, it's completely edible. Boo ya! I've made it to the gym a couple of times with Trish and today I did my first at home Crossfit workout. If you're not sure what Crossfit is, look it up. To sum it up, it's death. Really fast paced, death move after death move. Makes a fat chick feel like a panting, sweaty Fatty McFatterson when you're done. Thank God I decided to do it at home, alone, while Carter napped. Seriously if someone had been home, they'd have tried to call 911 due to my inability to breathe and make coherent words. Okay, it wasn't that bad but still, it kicked my ass. Good ol' Pinterest gave me a 2 week beginner Crossfit program that I can do at home. Day 1- 10 burpees, 20 squats, 30 situps. Do it as fast as you can 3 times. Seems easy enough.

Let me break it down for you. First set- Burpees suck, but I can handle this. Pshhh squats please, I can bust out 20 in my sleep. Situps...no problem. Set 2- Oh wow, burpees are sucking even more and they are definitely not looking so pretty. Ohhh these squats are starting to burn. Situps, I feel you man. Set 3- omg...if I jump and then just fall to the ground, is that considered a burpee. Mother of God, these squats can suck my nuts. Oh good, I'm on the ground doing these situps. It's much easier for me to die on the floor. 

So glad I'm a girl

          I set the little stop watch on my Ipod to time this craziness. I surprisingly got it all done and in 5min 35 seconds. I've ran on a treadmill for half an hour and didn't feel this jello-y before. Best part about the whole thing is though is that I didn't bitch out and did the whole thing. Chest bump to myself!
          I've also come to learn that music is a very important part in my cardio. While I was on the elliptical (yes, I know. Elliptical's probably aren't the most calorie burning machines available, but I'm not sitting on the couch) I had my Ipod on shuffle. It was just playing whatever was in my music list. So I'm all jacked up on Gangman Style, heeeeey sexy lady and then my Ipod changes to country. Now don't get me wrong, I love country music but it is not something I can workout to. Talk about losing your cardio boner. Please note: I do not get a boner when I do cardio. Cardio does NOT give me a boner in any shape or form. So I need to make a playlist and stick to it so I don't go soft like a grown man who forgot to pop a Viagra during a run.

Happy news, signed up for the Color Run in Montreal. SO pumped for it!!
