You sick, twisted, summamabitches. WTF were you thinking when you made a workout that 14yr old hyper boys couldn't do after mainlining sugar for a day?

Holy Crapola! This workout nearly put my ass on the floor a couple time. That rest week that really didn't let me rest definitely was a far cry from today's workout. I'm finding it hard to believe I'll ever be able to complete a full workput on any of these DVDs. Just when you think you're getting it down, you do a workout that gives you the smackdown. I guess that's good in a way because I am one of those people that needs goals. Right now my goal is to complete a DVD. Then eventually to be able to at least complete all the DVDs in a modified form, then maybe in hard form. (yeah right)

Don't get me wrong, I go all the way to the end, but I am as sloppy as the joe on that creepy sandwich they fixed you back in elementary school by the end. I was falling around like I had no bones. At about 30 minutes in, I knew I was in trouble. It's 5 in the AM and we are jumping, kicking, farting, and what have you and all of a sudden I realize, holy shit, I'm starting to tire already.

I kept plugging along but fell off the pace more and more. During some of the workouts, my vision was darkening in a halo from the outside pulling in narrower. Not sure if any of you have experienced that, but I have. I know a blackout when it's about to slap me in the face. I'd slow down, check my heart, or just sit down and gulp air like a drowning man bobbing above the surface for a second. Terri was going strong. I guess she was just more ready than me today. Anyway, I kept resting then restarting wherever they were, but the second half of my workout was a sad sight. Luckily, only Terri will be permanently scarred from that abominable sight. She probably thinks shes married to a spastic gumby right about now.

Oh, and on top of that, my weight was back at 205 today. Yay! Not only did I feel weaker than I have in a while, but I gained a few pounds overnight. I can only guess that the weight of 201-202 was in error at this point unless I start weighing that more frequently. Maybe after I drop the kids off at the pool, I'll weigh less. I have said I'm not too concerned with weight, but I sure would like to get down under 200 again. And I'd like to get low enough under it that a weekend of indulgence won't push me back over.

I know that it is possible for me to do this, and therefore I tell myself I WILL do this. But, this is one of those times when the frustration is getting to me. UGH! Like Sisyphus I will continue my toil, but unlike him I will prevail!
