I Promise Not To Laugh At Them Again!

I'm Guilty!! Guilty of CRACKING UP when I see the contestants on "The Biggest Loser", during their first week or 2, throwing up while exercising, almost passing out, and looking completely pitiful. Never again. I have experienced first-hand something that I think is probably similar to what they must be feeling. YES, I started a Boot Camp yesterday. Two Words for you...HOLY CRAP!!


First of all, my FRIEND (I use the term lightly today) Amy started the day before I did and told me in a very "bored" voice that this bootcamp "definitely isn't Navy Seals; it is more like Suburban Housewife Bootcamp." Okay, I'm thinking....I'll give it a try, but if it is Lame I will just quit and find a tougher one. (Of course, this is my SAME friend who told me that in addition to taking a yoga mat and hand weights to class, that everyone there wore Leg Warmers!!!) She never even cracked when telling this to me. Thank goodness there was NO WAY I was going to do that, having been a product of the 80s and having MANY old photos to look back on to see just how I looked wearing those awesome accessories. I got to class excited to see the morons wearing leg warmers. NOT ONE. Thank goodness I didn't go along with that.

Anyway, not only was the class VERY tough, but of the 7 people there with me, I would rate myself as #6 or #7 as far as "good shape". Let me state, however, for the record: Everyone else had already been in this program at least 2 weeks. SO THERE! I must have looked like death warmed over, because the trainer/coach/dude Jeff kept asking me, "are you okay? Slow down if you feel you need to!" To which I replied, each time, "(Gasp) (Wheeze)I Good (Spit Wheeze).


Hopefully today will be a better day. After all, the extreme soreness that is radiating through my legs will surely turn into complete loss of all sensations by this afternoon...so I won't even feel the pain.
