Gummy Bear

Good Evening Everyone,

Sorry for being so late posting the new blog. im sure everyone lost some sleep today waiting on me to post. You can read my blog and then go to sleep and have a good nights rest. Today's workout was a bitch. We did our normal warm up, but we added jumping squats. Im pretty sure they are called something else, but i can not remember the name. You squat all the way down like an old Asian man and then you jump into the sky. Im not racist its the only thing i could think of. They were pretty rough but i am amazed that i was able to do it. On to the WOD. WOD stands for work out of the day. Today's WOD was a 20min AMRP. AMRP means As many reps as possible. Our Goal was to get to five, i got to four and i was beyond proud. We did a down and back run,sit-ups, walking lunges and kettle bells. Kettle bells was actually my favorite, i know that may surprise some people, but i enjoy lifting weights and i felt like i was.  A kettle bell is this black ball with a hook on it (get your mind out of the gutter..lol...lol..) Anyways and you stand with your feet square, you squat and bring the kettle bell forward with your arms straight to your eyesight. It was pretty tough but i really enjoyed it. I didn't think i was gonna make it to four rounds. I had already told myself i was gonna shoot for three. When i had completed three my body was screaming " sit yo fat ass down". Nathan being the great PT he is pushed and encouraged me to do one more round. I pushed myself and made it through. There is no greater felling than not giving up. I have to say the first time i met Nathan he was completely drunk at a bar in New Orleans for the Super Bowl. He was leaning all the way back but standing up somehow. I never thought that i would have so much respect for a person. Which is rare for me because as we all know I'm never intimidated by anyone nor impressed, it takes a while. Nathan has shown himself worthy of my respect. Anybody that can get me to run 800 meters deserves much respect. Had it been ten years ago i would have cursed him out and probably thrown him off the loading dock. Which by the way Steve we need to get cleaned up, we have to run past an old rusty grill and a bunch of cheap wood. Im sure its a hazard. LOL..sorry Steve. I'm only two weeks into the gym and im already trying to organize it. lol..its what i do! I feel amazing and i think im starting to look amazing. Im a server and every table has to have drinks. I used to hate getting drinks because my feet would hurt and i gotta walk all the way to the back..yada yada yada. I know that sounds crazy. When you are overweight you try to make everything as simple as possible if they ordered sweet tea or water the pitcher was right there on the dining room floor and i would not have to walk back to back to get a refill. God forbid they order a coke they better drink it slow they were never gonna get a refill unless Derrick happened to walk by the table. LOL. It was a lazy lifestyle. Now i enjoy walking, I enjoy being busy at work because i feel like i am working out while working. Its an amazing feeling to no longer be so lazy. I remember days when i used to have a bag of M&M;s under my bed along with a 12 pack of fruit punch just in case i got hungry or thirsty at night. I know its so shameful but i did. Ever since i was little i have had a love affair with gummy bears. I still do, they are just awesome pieces of goodness. The gummy bear was my comfort food. I remember i would get 5 dollars a week allowance for cleaning my room. As soon as my mama would put it in my hand i would walk down the street to Vickers Gas Station and buy the 2 for dollar bag of gummy bears. I was the happiest child alive. As i grew older and fatter the gummy bear continued to be a major part of my life. Its all i ever wanted. Its strange how  we let certian things that are meant to be pleasurable contribute to our misery. The gummy bear has contributed to this misery we call obesity. No more gummy bears for me, well maybe one or two..just not one or two bags. This week i will be focusing on running that mile Mardi Gras is right around the corner and i have got to meet this goal. Everyday i pass the grey shirt hanging in my hallway and I WILL BE WEARING THAT SHIRT SOON. Maybe if i lose enough weight i can become a stripper, or i could just sit on a plane with no seat belt extension.
