One-on-One

Brian and I went back upstairs for cardio again this morning. I love it. I think that Tuesday and today have been my favorite sessions. I'm far from the biggest cardio fan you'll ever meet, but, I love that it's just me & Brian working together up there. I'm thinking of changing sports so I can have that all the time! (I'm COMPLETELY kidding). I've always been a major quality time person...love one-on-one time. And it has begun to take the humiliation and embarrassment away from me. We can talk about anything (like my stomach issues on Tuesday) and no one is around to hear. Or he can make me try something completely out of my league and he's the only one watching if I can't do it. Or I can be going too quickly on the ropes and miss grabbing ahold of it and smack myself in the face, and he's the only one that sees it. :-D I'm sure it'll do wonders for my communication skills. I was still a little off with that on Tuesday, but I was better than I usually am when something happens downstairs!

Ya know, that all reminds me of the movie Coyote Ugly. The jist of it is this girl wants to become a musician/song writer, but she's afraid to sing in front of people. Then she meets this guy and she'll only sing for him if the lights are all off and she can't see him. At the end of the movie she catches a break to sing at some auditions or something and when she gets on the stage, she completely freezes. So, the guy shows up right then and he shuts all the lights off and she begins to sing. He ends up turning them back on in the middle of her song, but now she's already in the middle of her song, so it doesn't bother her.

Anyway...not sure why I said all that. Sometimes I wonder if this is what my cousin Terry had in mind when he prompted me to start blogging my workouts. I have a tendency to give a lot more details than people normally care about. lol.

SO!!! We figured out how to make the prowler work!!!!!!! Yay for us!!! Brian put a lifting belt on me and then wrapped my straps through it and around the poles. Then I laid across a 12-inch box stool. It worked out VERY well. I think he put a 5 lb plate on each pole of the prowler. But I don't know how much the prowler weighs. We did timed intervals. It kicked my butt....seriously.

Then, at the end he set up some cones and watched me weave through them...just some more ideas for when I'm by myself.

Everyone have a very Merry & Blessed Christmas. Remember why we get to wake up each and every morning and Who watches over our every step and say a special Thank You to Him for giving us a reason to celebrate tomorrow.
