This week has been odd. I've been feeling very adequate this week. I had a huge mind blowing revelation which will only cause problems later down the road. But that's the future, who thinks about that?! Today I would like to introduce some absolutely mind blowing crazy. A friend of mine shared his reasons for being a little sore today due to his rigorous work out called Crossfit. Honestly I've only seen pictures of what the end result of this program is, but the video he shared with me just boggles the crazy.
What crazy people do when they get bored with P90X
I watched that and it made me a little concerned for those folks' mental health! Lol. I know they are perfectly "sane" but DAMN. Did you see how crazy ripped those people are?!?!?!!? That kind of work out to me would be the equivallent of wanting to become a battered woman. You would certainly feel like it afterwards! If you are OCD about training and being superfit and having the best abs everer, then DO THIS. Apparently this is what the guys in 300 actually did to get those yum-tastic bodies. So I guess I'm totally all for it. My friend even invited me to a session of this crossfitness business and I promtly laughed in his face (typed "haha, yeah right"). Perhaps after the beating I will take from my blackbelt exam in a few years I will be silly enough to submit to this kind of torture willingly, but I will resist with my pillsbury rolls for now.
The other night I think you all remember how I posted something about running... WELL. Guess what?! It is actually good for you. Running is actually REALLY good for you. The next morning after I ran I weighed myself and I was down another pound and a half. That could have been from dehydration, but hey, numbers don't lie. Weight loss is still a loss in my book :-p Its the keeping it off thats the tricky part. I totally failed on my "gym every day this week" plan. I failed yesterday because I figured I would make up for all the not exercising with all the crazy hard dancing I would be doing. NOPE. I'm just a glorified babysitter last night. Birthday parties are great and all, but I prefer to be the one drinking :) Its good to be the DD though. It is a bit odd not having as much control over a couple of drunkies VS sober folks. I mean, COME ON. How much can a person throw up?! I haven't seen that much vomit since the exorcist, and that was freaking soup.
Have I mentioned how fun square dancing is?? Its really fun. If you don't want to do the crazy hard workout for crazy people, you should give square dancing a try. Good cardio and its FUN. In fact I would say its the most fun I have ever had with a group of elderly people. That includes the time I volunteered at a nursing home and the man asked me to open his package of crackers (which was really a domino).
Zumba looks pretty fun too, but I mostly like the ghetto booty music and stuff I hear from the class before my kaju class.
On another side note, while I was running, I was talking to a friend of mine on the tread next to me, and I was telling her about the time I had my shoulder dislocated during last semesters tournament practice. She thought I was just talking about regular old American Karate (which is apparently super lame?) and then I dropped the "K" bomb and was telling her about my professor and how badly I want to win one of his medals. It was something along the lines of "I really want to win one of those medals because he is a WORLD renowned fighter/teacher/person of Kajukenbo" and she basically slams the stop button stares at me and says "HOLY FUCK, KAJUKENBO?!?!!?!?! THAT SHIT IS HARDCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was a pretty awesome moment to get some recognition from someone outside of my kaju class. It actually gave me a boost of energy to squeak out that last quarter mile of running (yeah I can talk when I run, but I don't get very far...).
I think that's enough for now. I have to go make up for my lack of workout yesterday. Time for some self flagellation!
