Getting In Shape @ MindSay

Yesterday, I pulled out the old resistance training cords so the kiddo and I could do some strengthening and toning exercises.  Because she was having a hard time using them, I would demonstrate each exercise and how to manipulate the cords to fit each exercise. She was still having some trouble doing sit ups, so I told her to lie flat on her back and raise both of her legs off the the floor.  She needed a visual demonstration so I proceeded to put my feet in the two bottom handles (my cords have four handles) and I grabbed the other two handles and pulled my arms to my chest like I was doing bicep curls. When I tried to lift my legs off the ground... nada.  Then, I changed the position of my arms by spreading them out like I was making a T with my body. I did this thinking it would give me more leverage.  When I tried to lift my legs again -- nuthin'.  Next, I tried to lift my arms over my head. I figured this would give the cords more tension, which would help.  After a few seconds of grunting and struggling, the damned handles slipped off my feet!  Meanwhile, the kiddo was trying very hard not to laugh at her momma.   Finally, I tried doing it again with my hands over my head.  When I tried to lift my legs, my left foot slid all the way through and my leg got hung up in the handle!  That did it for the poor kiddo and she just erupted into laughter! LOL!

She took the resistence cords from me and proceeded to do the exercise I tried to show her. 

"Like this Momma?"

"Yeah," I replied winded, "Just like that."

1. I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no gain.

2.I'm in shape. Round is a shape.

3.Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad, but when you put him in a car, he sticks his head out the window?

4. Ever notice anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

5. You have to stay in shape. My mom started walking when she was 60. She is 97 now and we have no idea where she is.

6. I have six locks on my door all in a row. However, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking at the locks, they are always locking three pf them.

7. Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they say that they are such beautiful animals. My daughter is beautiful but I only have photographs of her on my wall.

8. I always wanted to be somebody, but I shold have been more specific...

My friend Cristina told me about this one day after school. She said number 2 to our P.E. teacher. It was so funny! Lol :p

OUCH.  I can't move. My muscles are screaming! For the past two days, I've joined my friends Tammie, Cassie and Becky (the Pretty Ponies) in their daily walks.  We have decided to go through a transition.  We are changing our eating habits and we are working out everyday.  They've been doing it for a little over two weeks and they are already showing some results.

The first day of walking, I wanted to fucking die.  I kept thinking; How long is this damn trail? I just knew I wasn't going to make it, but my friends wouldn't leave me behind to die. Even after I pleaded, "Go on without me! Save yourselves!", the other Pretty Ponies wouldn't leave my lame ass behind.  Yesterday, however I did pretty well.  I did 100% better. I think it had something to do with the fact that I used my inhaler before I went on the trail.  I really got an ego boost when a hot guy saw me actually jogging and he said, "Oh yeah, you're going to really get sexy running! Do it!" Well, he's right. I'm fixin' to get sexy!
