IF IT WALKS LIKE CRAB AND TALKS LIKE A CRAB...UH!?

Good morning losers or wanna be losers!

Today brings the close of another week in the trenches with the Sarge. We had a great week...I lost 5 more pounds! That brings the grand total to 20. For all you math wizards out there that is 1/5Th of the way to our goal!

Before starting on today's blog i took the opportunity to see what the Sarge has been saying on hers. She never talks to me in person other then a nod, grunt or yell. I had no idea she had such an excellent grasp of the English language until I read her blog...who would have thought! Actually I've exaggerated a little bit, she did make a comment to me yesterday, it was something like "you smell like the sound end of a northbound skunk"...and then are workout started. She always knows how to truly welcome and nurture her people...heartwarming really.

Yesterdays workout was definitely the hardest so far, which is all good. We did the crab walk again, remember Crommer the crabby crab? Well this time it was Crommer the crabby cumvented crab! She instructed me to do the walk now carrying a 9 pound ball in front of me. So, off we go across the parking lot doing the crab and I noticed that the ball fit perfectly on my belly, just like a little ledge. Hey, this is going better then I thought until the Sarge spotted me...OOPS! Needless to say I was instructed in the kindest of terms to extend the ball out in front of me...the only sense of humour that I have found so far are in her blogs. I was going to say something back to the Sarge then I snapped out of it, thank God. You know Jim Croce was not only a great singer but some of his songs contained very valuable life lessons like this one..." you don't spit into the wind and you don't step on Superman's cape"...! Need I say more?

Speaking of crabs...don't go there people, stay with me, I had to see the Dermatologist yesterday. I had some small little growths on my arms and I thought they might be warts, nope, they're barnacles!! Heck I'm not only waking like a crab I'm turning into one! This working out stuff is pretty powerful. I kid you not about the barnacles, i couldn't make this stuff up. Apparently it's a build up of dry skin and they can be easily treated by freezing them. The Doc would only treat the larger ones, you know the size of a termite mound. I had to pass this one on as the coincidence was just too funny...man I kill myself.

When i was at the Doctor's office waiting for my turn a gentleman came over and offered his encouragement and then made a pledge of a $1 per pound! That made my day...until i found out I was turning into some big crustacean!
