A Sore Winner

Good Morning Everyone,

Just left Versus, and I am worn out. We had an amazing workout. Our workout this morning was pretty rough for me. Its the warm up that always gets me and for some reason i feel like the warm up should be the work out...but its not. Our warm up consist of a run: down and back, the infamous SUPERMAN, 25 jumping jacks,squats, and sit ups. We did the warm up three times. At this point I'm like what the Hell just let us go home. Then on to the workout. The workout consisted of 5 stations, one minute at each station, three times. the stations were sit-ups, push-ups,air squats,running, and ball drops. Ill be the first to tell you that ball drops is about some bull shit. You have this 15LB ball and you drop it on the ground, and follow to pick it up. Ball drops are basically squats with extra pain. I did it though. I will say that these women I work out with are some positive ladies. I feel like a superstar when I walk in. "hey Matthew, looking good, keep up the good work." Sometimes i feel like i should respond like Johnny Bravo..."Thank ya mama" ..lol..that is so funny to me. In all seriousness they are amazing, and I'm glad i have them there to encourage me. I would return the favor but i am normally out of breath. Yall know I'm stuck up, so I cant call Nathan our coach, he has to be my personal trainer. It just makes me sound rich. That guy is amazing, always encouraging, and uplifting. At the end of our workout we had to do a 400 meter run, on the street, with moving cars, and there was a lite drizzle. In my eyesight it was a thunderstorm.I walked most of the way but at the end there he was yelling (well he really doesn't yell, it was more like him just loud talking) for me to finish it out running. While i was walking i saw him down there being that i was the last one, and i kept saying to my self.." I hope this motherfucker doesn't encourage me to run". He did and because i don't want to let him down nor myself i did, and i'm so proud to have him on my team. At the end of the run, we talked about dieting. I have got to kick it up a notch with my dieting more  lean meats and veggies. He did say and i quote " when i go to the Mexican place, i get the fajitas and i just eat the meat, onions and green peppers, i eat a few chips and maybe a little sauce"..he basically told me, i can eat la Fiesta Brava again. I just now have a better understanding of what to eat. Chicken and broccoli it is. I feel amazing. My friend Holly has sort of been my inspiration for losing weight. She has lost a shit ton of weight. I've dealt with her weight loss not so well. At first i thought she was using drugs, and wasn't telling me. My assumption and lack of asking sort of separated us for a while last year. i felt like i wasn't there for her, and i'm sure she felt the same way. I remember we had this long talk one day , and when i say it got real...the shit got real. I saw her give me emotions that she never had before, and from that talk she said one thing that has stuck with me.."you were not there". It hit me like a pound of bricks. I realized that i wasn't. Holly has always been there for me no matter what,. whatever i needed, whenever, or wherever.I thank her for being so open and honest. I said to my self if Dub can do it so can I. My mother even said it " You need to get like dub!" Dub is Holly's nickname. I have so many people along this journey that have been here with me. I often say " Don't show up, when i blow up," and the response has always been " we are here now." (that doesn't mean yall will get any money when i blow up,Krista, Nicole, Double A, Jennifer, Sonyer, Dub, Latisha, Sherri, Ruth, or Brad). After last Thursdays workout, i could barley walk, or do any day to day activities. I was so sore that i wanted to go #2 standing up. It was an awesome feeling to be sore from working out and actually feeling the results. I am proud to be a sore winner, beats being a sore loser any day ( just don't play cranium against me!)

SORRY FOR THE SPELLING AND GRAMMAR I JUST DON'T CARE. I JUST WANNA GET MY EMOTIONS OUT, AND I GOT TO GO TO WORK.
