I am so cranky I don’t even want to be around myself. That’s a very bad thing. I was going to blow off Bootcamp because I didn’t want to subject anyone else to my ‘dark cloud self’. I won’t get into the why of my mood, that just leads to an angry whiner. No one likes a whiner, unless of course I’m trying to be a funny whiner. Right?! Please tell me my funny whining is well, funny.
So, I’m little Miss Black Cloud today. I’ve even growled a few times. Low and behold… I have gained an extra conscience. Her name is Donna and she got a fair share of my woes/texts blasted her way today. When I told her I was not going to Booty, she immediately said, “GO! it will get my endorphins pumping and I won’t be so miserable”. She didn’t say miserable but she could have as it would have been the truth.
So I’m trudging into Bootcamp, Nancy sees my black cloud trailing behind. I can see the worried look in her eye, so I told her I would keep to my bad self and keep my trap shut. For everyone’s sake and mine. YIKES! it’s partner day… uh oh…
Mark took one for the Team and volunteered to warm up with me. As we finished the warm up, someone was talking… oh hey, that was me! And wait, I have a ‘snap the yap shut’ rule and I’ve broken it. Seems the endorphins must be kicking in because I believe I even smirked. Not a full fledged smile, but close.
So now we move on to ladders… LADDERS!!?? Nancy took pity on Mark and made us switch up partners. I partnered with Lisa, a little less scary looking . Lisa will love me even if I am miserable to be around (Thanks Lisa-xoxo!) I can count on her to, if nothing else, pound me into the ground. Nothing says love like an attitude adjustment.
The good news is that today’s workout totally worked. No breathe to yammer, just a little stammer. Sweat pouring out the body with it all my evilness. Unfortunately, for Nancy and the class, our ‘quiet’ cool down was filled witha rejuvenated chatty patty in the corner. Yours truly is now cleansed, reborn, and giggling~ glad to see ME back from the darkness.
All due in part to having a second conscience. I recommend a second one to everyone who have days that they just need a little nudge, or a shove in the right direction. Look around next time you are in class. Exchange email, or phone number, you never know when you may need your second conscience. Or a good swift boot in the behind. You will be glad you did, I am, that’s for sure.
So, thank you to Donna, Mark, Lisa, and the 4p Bootcamp class for putting up with me today. YOU ROCK!
Blog you later,
