Yesterday, the heavens parted and a special kind of golden light shone upon my back porch. For there, in what to all others appeared an ordinary shipping box, sat my long-awaited Insanity DVD's. Listen...do you hear them? The angels are singing a celebratory workout hymn.
Today, they shut up. They couldn't speak either.
Because, holy motherf*#kin' SHIT. (That's me talking now, not the angels.) That was the most incredibly difficult 45 minutes of my Fit Life. I mean, even harder than when I worked out live with Shaun T in Bangor. (No seriously, dude came to Bangor. How crazy is that?) The warmup was tougher than any Cardio X in its entirety. So, yeah. I'd say I'm gonna get my money's worth.
I am drenched. That is typical of any workout, as I tend to shine with effervescence after a simple stroll to the fridge. (I have been informed this indicates a fitter Queen overall; my body is just awesomely efficient at cooling itself due to its recent upgrades in exercise. I am so fit, in fact, that even my dogs wrinkle their noses if I get too close post-workout. And Otis regularly sniffs his own farts with pleasure.) I am also energetically EXHAUSTED. By which I mean, I could not eke out a single extra burpee or pushup, but I still feel charged and AMAZING. Make that AMAZING. That was hard. But I DID IT. So, uh...boo to the YAH, my friends.
I am tremendously excited to discover just how much more efficiently I will be cooling myself when the 60 days is up. My guess is, a single breath and I'll need a new shirt. But I'm also guessing I'll be able to stop a bus with my abs.
So I guess the only REAL question is...WHO'S WITH ME??? I mean, I will go it alone if I must...but then you'd all just be jealous of my relationship with Shaun T and your inferior body cooling system. There's a challenge group starting in just two weeks...I highly suggest you all go crazy and sign up.
Deciding to live a Fit Life is a big commitment, and there are obstacles along the way - most of them mental. Here is an honest (and hopefull witty and inspirational) account of my struggles and triumphs on my road to my very own Fit Life. I've gone from couch spud to trainer to full-fledged potato to fitness enthusiast - and I refuse to return to my previous starchy state. I am a born-again exerciser, and I warn you: I tend to get annoyingly zealous after a good sweat session.
