Did Tony Little invent this?

Day 10

I'm excited about this post, I thought of it as I was struggling to figure out the monster cardio, hybrid elliptical, stepper, sort of like the Tony Little "Gazelle", machine. (I know your picturing the infomercial in your head! Ha!)

I'm sore, bikram 2 day sore, plus killer cardio intervals=body burn. My sister has a bright idea of utilizing the machine I referenced above, I will refer to it as "Mr. Awkward" for the rest of the post. 

Mr. Akward makes me feel weird, like when your watching someone make an ass out of themselves on TV and you feel embarrassed for them, that same feeling.  

I'm generally coordinated, I can hit a forehand down the line with precision, I can throw a baton in the air and spin 5 times underneath it and catch it behind my back, I can bounce a ball on the end of a tennis racket all day long, I can walk a balance beam with a cat like prance, but Mr. Awkward, I can handle him!

It took me 3 strides just to get the damn thing going. I'm strong, I can leg press more than the dudes, so strength wasn't the issue, it clearly was coordination today. I think it's because it was 5:00pm, I NEVER work out in the evening, especially in the winter, my body starts hibernation mode at 4:30 when the sun goes down.  After all that "getting started", I was afraid to stop, so I pushed and pulled and took long strides, and stepped and stretched, and Mr. Awkward finally delivered, a few long strides in and I feel the burn, I'm sweating and jamming out to Pitbull. (Why do all his songs sound the same?) 

Walking out into the freezing cold night air, my sister and I vowed to never do the 5pm again. You know what make 5pm even shittier? Tomorrow morning is interval training, or as we like to call it "running like a zombie is chasing you training!". That's not nearly enough time for my body to refresh itself! Nah, I'm sure it is, that just sounds like a good excuse.

I'm feeling great overall. Nothing in life is perfect, I ate 4 little organic cheddar bunnies today, and a bite of organic pizza. That's what happens when I don't workout in the morning, all hell breaks loose and I hear those little devil bunnies calling me from the pantry. Bastards! They won today, but tomorrow it's my turn.  I still did pretty well with my meals though, I'm struggling with all the meat, chicken grosses me out, I must incorporate more fish. Some shrimp, tuna...

Oh, and if your wondering, ill post a video  soon! Still get to figure that out!

See you bright and early, below zero weather won't stop me. Game on!
