the head trainer's wife? she looks just like lara croft! you're much prettier, hon, but she's like a pint sized lara croft!well f*ck! i may as well dive into bed with a plate of cookies and beer and call it a night. and NOT invite patrick.
but i soldiered on. and of course ended up beating his time, so there! the warmup: run 430 m, 43 squats, 43 situps, 43 pushups, run 430 m. the WARM. UP. i got to halve the squats, situps and pushups part because it was only my second day and i had other work to do.
which was to do as many sets of 7 squat thrusters and 7 pushups in 7 minutes. i eked out 7 full sets and 1 squat thruster in 7 minutes and finished a total of 8 sets in 7:30. my trainer said at the end of my 7th set i was at 6:30 so he thinks i totally could have eked out a whole other set under the 7 minutes, but my mind had stopped after the end of he 7th set. i wish i would have known! it goes to show how much it really is a matter of mind over matter. and not that we're keeping score or anything, patrick did 5 and three quarters sets. ;P
we also joined in time to sign up for their biggest loser challenge. i figure as the newest newbies we have the most fitness to gain and weight to lose. the winner wins $100 and a free month. this may just be the thing to get my eating in check.
p.s. "lara croft" was a total butter face.

WTF?! How about another beer?
I love reading about your workouts- they are intense but you're going to see some serious improvements really fast with them!
I bet Lara Croft doesn't have anything on you... :)
Good luck w/ the biggest loser contest- keep us posted for sure!
I'm also really excited for you and Patrick- after an "adjustment period", my guess is you'll love working out together. I know Michael and I had to get used to it, and there was some bickering initially, but we've figured it out now and I love having him there.
