Up Next: Gladiators

by freeandflawed on May 22, 2008

If you’re just tuning in, I see a trainer three Wednesdays out of the month and lately I have been blogging about my mishaps afterwards. Past blunders can be found here and here.
\

\
Believe it or not, I’m doing something right! My body fat went down by 3%. That might not seem like a lot, but when your hobbies consist of sleeping, sitting in front of a computer and eating, 3% is a pretty big damn deal. I am mere points away from being labeled “athletic.” I can smell it. I can actually see my abs, not just the layer of fat that lingers on top of them! How flippin awesome is that?! Oh! And, hold on, watch me flex…grrrr….feel that bicep. Don’t go all jaws of life like my mom did when I told her to grab it.
\

\
Sadly I don’t have any screw up stories to share. I was on top of my game and did four reps of 15-20 rather than just 3 of 15. I eat bicep curls for dinner and planks for dessert. I totally wanted to walk up to the biggest guy there and stand next to him while flexing every muscle in my tiny body while asking how he’s doin’. Yeah…that’s all muscle baby…

I had to laugh about your mom grabbing your arm because my mom would totally do that too. Way to ruin the moment, Mom. ;)

Annnd I now have one and a half entries to the pay it forward contest. Considering where it was a day ago, that’s some major progress :)

3% is like loosing an entire organ, but much healthier.

Make sure not to fall into that ever-so-dangerous “athletic” category. All the kids in the high school will hate you — and deservedly so! You didn’t have to knock the lunch tray out of my…oh, wait. We’re in our twenties now. Sorry. lol.

That’s freakin’ awesome! Way to go. You’re making me seriously consider a personal trainer, because whatever I’m doing is not working that well.
