IS THAT A COMBINE...NOPE, JUST KAREN SKIPPING ROPE!

Good morning everyone. I approached the scale this morning with a great deal of apprehension knowing that over the last two weeks I had only lost one pound in total. I also had in mind the terrific time I had celebrating my brother-in-law's, Mike, birthday on the weekend...it was a good time. I confessed to the Sarge by the way, I felt guilty. Her only reply was..."I guess you just want another zero, don't you?". So this was running through my mind at break neck speed as I walked up to the scale. I lifted my right foot and pulled away just an inch from stepping on the scale. I decided I better clip my toe nails! You never know! So, once that was done I made the long lonely walk back to the scales...my foot waivers over the flat metal surface...I start to sweat...I can't handle it anymore! I'm now on the scale, afraid to look at the damn thing. I finally looked....I lost 4 pounds! That brings the new total to 70 pounds! Of course I did my happy dance, good thing no cameras were around! I was very pleased with the results this week.

I'm reflecting back on the week that I just had and trying to determine how I got this result. Was it the large amounts of red wine that I consumed at Mike's...maybe. Red wine is supposed to be good for you. Or could it be the two boot camps I endured over the last week? I'll have to keep experimenting and find out the secret. I'll keep you posted.

Talking about boot camps...at the last one, we had 20 participants! That means for every participant there is a work out station! Man was that ever hard. Instead of the normal one hour duration, this lasted almost an hour and a half! To make things worse the very next morning I had the Sarge and we were working on legs...needless to say I was pretty sore by the time Wednesday afternoon came along...too bad there wasn't any red wine left!


Why...Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

Just reflecting back on the last boot camp and some of the close calls I had. It's actually quite dangerous in spots, for example...I was lying on the floor (couldn't breath) doing a leg exercise. Just behind me was Dave Cunningham doing the step ups with weights in his hands...he didn't look to sturdy, I think he went to Kelly's before the camp! I was waiting for him or one of the weights to land on my head! Of course if it hit my head I would be okay. The other danger was Karen and her skipping rope...she's the bionic woman of skipping rope! The worst part is she doesn't stay in one spot, she moves around...it felt like a combine was coming towards me! Of course this really affected my concentration and I had bad station...it's all their fault!

See you at the gym!
Big Dave out!
