I'm tired.

One of those "I can barely think" type of tireds, so bear with me.

I got to bed at around 12:30 am, but it was one of those nights when I kept waking up every hour for some reason. Alarm went off at 5:30, which meant it was time to meet Moe over at Body Business (Anderson).

I rolled out of bed, and made myself a couple of eggs, since I had no milk for my Special K (and having learned my lesson on Tuesday…see my last blog).

After breakfast, I hunted around for my workout clothes. It was too cold for shorts, so I had to break out the sweat pants. Unfortunately, I couldn’t remember what I did with the pair I had just washed a coupla nights ago. Now granted, I should’ve pack everything last night before I went to bed, but I was dog tired. So after frantically searching for my clean sweats, I had to give up and grab some off the floor cause I was quickly running out of time. I sniffed ‘em. They definitely weren’t clean, but they didn’t exactly have an overpowering smell either.

So I was off to Body Business for my personal training session with Moe, the Iron Woman. Our dear Maureen participated in the Iron Man triathlon this past summer…I would’ve had a heart attack about ten minutes into it, but anyway…

I arrive at Body Business at 6:25. There’s Moe waiting for me with a cheerful greeting. I don’t know what she puts in her coffee to be so cheerful that early in the morning, but I need some.

So we walk across the courtyard to the personal training area. We started off on the elliptical machine. I think I was supposed to warm up on it for 5 minutes or so, but honestly, I didn’t even make it to 4 minutes before I started whining.

Now understand, I’m not a whiner by nature, but I did a lot of it this morning.

After my failed attempt at the elliptical machine, I warmed up on the treadmill.

Okay, so now I’m all warmed up, and Moe has me doing some mat work. We started with crunches. I don’t like crunches. I had to do 100 of them and I was not happy. In fact, I told Moe “You and I cannot be friends” after I was done.

From there I did push ups, and a bunch of other stuff that I can’t remember because I blocked it out because the experience was so traumatic.

My next clear memory was of stretching after my work-out. I thought the stretching came before the work-out, but our lil’ Moe set me straight. You stretch after the workout, because your body is warm and therefore more flexible and less likely to strain in one way, shape, or form. See, you learn something new everyday.

Anyway, this was my second meeting with Moe, but my first actual session. I must admit (despite the whining) I had a good workout. I’m looking forward to next week, cuz she gave me some homework(out) to do over the weekend, which should have me better prepared for our next session.

If you’re lookin’ for a personal trainer, I’m telling you, Moe is the pooh...even though we can’t be friends cuz she made me work out hard and I’m already in pain and am having trouble typing cuz my arms are sore.

Okay, I’m done. Happy hour awaits.
