Lean Meat, Team work and Burpees Oh My!)

Good Morning, Well it's been a full week of dieting and working out. I feel awesome and like I can rule the world. This mornings workout was no fucking joke. The warm up as you know always kill me. I told my self that I wanted to put more effort in the warm up and I'll feel better during the workout. This morning I did just that and I felt like I did a better job. Our warm up consisted of 25 jumping jacks, 10 PVC pipe squats, 5 push ups, 10 sit ups, and run. We did this three times around the second round is when I usually say to myself " just leave and go to McDonald's and get the usual", but I am so determined to lose this weight I kept going. If McDonald's would come out with a breakfast burrito, hash brown and hi-c orange gum that would make me happy, kinda like the one in willy wanka. After the warm up we always do a nice stretch and PT( Nathan) coaches us on diet and nutrition. The work out this morning consisted of 2-6 min rounds of the following: 15 BURPEES( I'll explain what these are in a minute) sit ups, squats and ring pulls. We got a 1 min break in between praise God. Burpees are the devils gift to fat people in the world along with fried Oreos and supersonic cheeseburgers. Imagine you are standing up,then fall into the pushup position , and bring your feet towards your hands lift your body up and clap( I saw barbara clap so I did the clap I'm not sure if we were supposed to clap, but it added some flare to it so I was fine...lol) and repeat. I know it's some bull shit. Doing BURPEES has been the only thing along this journey that I have felt defeated on. I hate losing in anything. Wheather it be the casino, monolopy, cranium or coloring. I hate losing. I felt like I lost today with the BURPEES so I'm determined to win next tie we do them I'm gonna practice at home. I have to get these down. Good thing was the OGM's hate them too. OGM's are the oak grove moms. Any group of ladies that are in my life have to have a name it just makes me feel better. I have my bayside high girls, and of course the angels. The angles by the way have started working out and eating healthy too I'm so proud of them. Bayside high has always worked out I just never listened lol. After the workout for the day we did a 400 meter run, which I ran more than I walked this time. I'm getting closer and closer to that mile. Bourbon stret better watch out I'm gonna be pounds lighter and rolling with three healthier women. When I was done I got a personal consolation from Steve and Nathan. When I say personal consolation it makes me feel better. During our conversation they went over my diet log. I can no long have A&w diet footbed, which by the way is awesome. Somehow I'll ween myself off of it. I also learned that I have got eat more lean meats and increased meal frequency. These men are so knowledgeable in everything fitness, glad to have them and their company on my team. Next week I'm going to three workouts a week, I'll be joining in on the Saturday workout and I'll be having a guest join me as well. After the workout my guest will blog through my blog about their experience, this is the scheduled guest, Krista, Amanda,Katie, Sherri, Jennifer, and Ruth. I hope these ladies are ready, I feel like Amanda and Sherri are going to try to out do me so I'm gonna prepare extra for their workout. Teamwork is so important in all of this and I really wanna thank the OGm's for being so helpful and encouraging, stay focused ladies, Barbara lay off the bread, and Andra leave the animal cookies alone. Untill next week..stay healthy and remember if ya wanna be lean ya gotta eat lean( Nathan said that) I just know I make it sound better!
