Motivation

After our recent reunion, the gym and I have become very close very fast. You may say this relationship is getting so serious as a result of the RIDICULOUS temperatures that have plagued the Northeast! ek! ew! ugh! I went as far (or, ironically enough, not far at all....) as to run on the treadmill yesterday. Today I went to a class, and let me tell you: I pretty much felt like I was in middle school again. The instructor called out anyone (LOUDLY into his headset microphone!) who couldn't hack it....made fun of! I don't know if I've ever tried to blend in so much. He was hard core...and, I must say, I liked it! Despite his verbal aggression at times, I really liked the class and his insults made me laugh (usually in my head...my abs hurt too much to laugh out loud). At the end of the class, he said he won't be in next week...and I even went as far as to ask if he'll be back after that! I told him I'd see him then, but not before telling him that he peer pressured me into a good majority of the exercises.

Quick shout out to two people who motivate me every singly day: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mama, "Janny B," who is my biggest cheerleader in life and who has celebrated all the ups of my training thus far (not without lots of warnings and reminders to be safe though, of course), and my roommate, Lani, who has taught me a lot about dedication, and who always encourages me to in my training....most likely so I get off of and give up the big couch in our living room, which I have had recent dibs on due to my free time. Enjoy your special day ladies (which is most likely not being spent reading this post....I still love you!).
