Slightly Chubby.

I survived my second session with Darrell, but it wasn’t pretty. Before we started he thought it would be a good idea to get my measurements, weight and body fat percentage… you know, just to get my confidence up before a soul crushing workout. Brilliant, Darrell…

There’s just no nice way to put it, all of my numbers are bad, and put me in the “fatty” category. I’m sure they are better than they were when I started all of this in August, but I have nothing to compare to – except my weight – which wasn’t great either because he made me keep my shoes on and it was nighttime. HOW RUDE!?!?! The good news is that all of this will help motivate me to work harder. Woo! 

The workout itself went better than expected considering how sore I still was from Monday’s session. We did ball squats, planks, situps, bicep curls, arm stuff with a kettleball, a bunch of machines – oh and he makes me do 40 jumping jacks in between everything I do to keep my heart rate up. I’m telling you, it’s so goddamn fun, it feels more like a party than a workout…

The one thing we did that I absolutely cannot stand (or do for that matter) are squat thrusts. WHO INVENTED THOSE???? There is nothing worse than squat thrusts. My body is just offended by them. They are hell. And I just know I look horrific doing them. For those of you that don’t know what a squat thrust is, see the below picture. That’s actually me in the picture if you can’t tell:

I really just feel badly for the other people working out at the gym who are forced to watch me suffer like a beached whale while Darrell shouts, “20 more!” Oh well, I’ll be running laps around them and pumping iron like a champ in NO TIME. And even if I do look like hell when I work out with Darrell, at least I’m doing it. Right? Go me, eff them.

In totally unrelated other news, I just noticed something today that made me laugh out loud. I’m not sure if you will find it as funny as me, but here goes nothing. On my dashboard for this blog, there’s the option to see your “site stats” which shows you things like, how many people have viewed your blog today, what posts are the most popular, etc. etc.

One of the random things on this page that I don’t really pay attention to is the option to see what people typed into search engines to find my blog. So I’ve seen that people type in things like the name of my blog, titles of some of my posts, my name, etc. Logical things to search on, in my opinion. However, the other day I looked at it and there was one “search term” that really tickled me. See for yourself:

Slightly chubby girl. Amazing. I just LOVE the idea that someone was sitting there thinking “chubby girl, hmm… no, I think slightly chubby girl will give me a better chance of finding her blog.” Also, whoever that was, THANKS for only thinking I’m only slightly chubby.
