As I’m sitting here writing this post, my fingers are probably the only part of my body that I can move without experiencing excruciating pain! It’s that time of year yet again when I begin to purge the Mickey D Fish Filets, Sweet Teas and Checkers Fries from my daily diet while I begin my investigation of the hottest new ‘loose weight quick schemes’ for the season. However, I have all summer to bitch about not being able to gorge in pasta, bread, and sugar! Today my pain does not stem from my love affair with fast food and diabetic induced beverages. The reason why I’m in so much pain is because I’m such THE genius that came up with this bright idea that signing up for a fitness bootcamp would help initiate and jumpstart my workout regimen for the next 9 months. Yes that nice winter break away from working out on a consistent basis came crashing down with the rest of my world as I embarked upon this 7 week long debacle of a bootcamp! Perhaps I’m being a bit dramatic, but so what damnit!
Early Saturday I woke up at 6 in the morning. (Oh I forgot to mention the bootcamp is at 8AM every Saturday morning! There goes my social life for the next month and a half) I looked the window and it was pouring down rain outside. Oh hell no! The instructor, K.W. a.k.a. Sergeant ‘Hate-On-Me-And-My-Sexy’ specifically stated that we would work out rain or shine. Just my luck! So I took my time getting dressed hoping and praying I would get a phone call, text message, or some sort of S.O.S message in the sky indicating bootcamp was canceled until the following week. NOTHING! So I finished getting dressed and hesitantly ventured out to face my inevitable fate of sore joints and busted thighs.
When I arrived K.W. rolled down the window of his big ass 4x4 with a bright smile on the seemingly endless gloomy day. I hate him already! Forget the fact that he’s completely hot with the prettiest teeth I’ve even seen in life...Damn he’s fine! LOL Sorry I just had a moment there. He asked for my name, so I announced myself and of course gave some sort of snide remark to which he responded, ‘OH YOOOOOOUR CAG!! I’ve been waiting to meet you!’ I was about to say, ‘why...you already have my money!’, but since he was being nice I kept comment to myself. However that sentiment quickly diminished within minutes.
As the full group gathered before I knew it, this mofo said ‘Ok lets start by doing a quick jog around the park’ What?! Way to ease my ass into things! After the moment of complete astonishment passed I started running with the rest of the pack...IN THE RAIN! So the foolishness didn’t stop there. We did lunges, squats, suicides, planks...No SETS OF PLANKS! LIKE 8 SETS! Did I mention that we were IN THE RAIN?! He has obviously lost his damn mind! Oh no and it’s didn’t stop there. Do you know at the end, we had to do more running?!! WTF! And if that’s not enough ridiculousness, he made me run with his overly fit muscle bound tall drink of water... LOL My bad...I was having another moment. HAHAHA No seriously, if we had to do all of that in the FIRST session, I’m truly afraid of what will follow.
Now I’m in so much pain, I’m afraid to move. I have to walk up the stairs sideways while holding on to the railing for dear life! Yeah I know what your thinking, ‘NO PAIN NO GAIN (OR LOSE IN THIS SITUATION), but this shit just isn’t normal! I had the nerve to even try to go to the club on Saturday night and in the midst of me ‘dropping it like it’s hot’ I think I broke portions of my thigh and groin muscles. Go figure! At that point my girl Elicious, who is also partaking in the bootcamp debauchery with me, and I were ready to go. We figured we would leave while the party was jumping so that noone would pay attention while we basically had to crawl out the club in our four inch heels. How embarrassing! As we were riding home in pain I kindly sent K.W. a lengthy hate-mail message via my Treo. The next day he responded and said he thought my e-mail was hilarious and that he’s glad I was thinking about working out as I was ‘dropping it’! (I’m sorry...He must’ve missed my point. The Jaws of Life would not make it possible for me to ‘drop it’ in my condition. Obviously he thinks this is some sort of joke! It’s cool though. I’ll play his little game. I got something for his ass! I’m ready for whatever he tries to dish at me next! He better watch out because this little diva here is ready to unleash her inner fitness beast! Wish me Luck
