Because sometimes the only way to feel good about yourself is by making someone else feel bad. I am tired of making others feel good about themselves.

So, I love my trainer.  She seriously KICKS my ASS.  My legs are super duper sore and seriously, walking up the stairs is a KILLER right now.  Phew.  I can’t decide if I seriously want to hug my trainer…or if I’d rather kick her. 

I also have discovered my balance is ATTROCIOUS!

I used an upside down bosu ball (evil bosu ball) for squats and these weird push-up/leg lift things.  Seriously, I felt like I was attempting to do the exercises during an earthquake or something.  My balance is seriously just not where it should be.  My friend V was laughing at how bad my legs were shaking on the squats (ok…his were almost as shaky as mine…so he had no room to laugh but whatever). 

I also did about 50 THOUSAND lunges across the floor of the gym multiple times.  Then I had to do a bunch of leg presses and other machine exercises.  Then I did about 25 minutes of cardio. 

I’m so not kidding about my legs being crazy shaky. 

Anyways, tomorrow is a running day…so hopefully my legs will recover by then.  Should be interesting if not. 

On a random side note I’m making a pair of pedicure socks as a retirement gift for a friend at work.  I can’t decide if I love the socks…or if I think they’re the dumbest looking things EVER.  I’ll try to post a picture tomorrow when they’re finished blocking and you will have to give me your opinion.  :-)

    Can’t wait to see the socks! :)

    Oh….bosu ball; I need one of those! I have poor balance as well, there are so many exercises on the exercise ball that I can’t even attempt…very sad - but I guess that’s why your supposed to workout regularly using them…to build up the stability…doh! :)

    I brought my gear to run today at lunch, should be interesting maneouvering out on the sidewalks after our dump of 42 cm of snow Monday! Oh, Summer please come soon!
