I’ve managed to convince myself I have superhuman powers.
I woke up two days ago thinking, “Ugh, Strength and Sculpt, I hope it gets cancelled so I can’t go and nobody can shame me for it.”
The next day, our instructor emailed us letting us know she she had tweaked her back and that she would let us know if Strength and Sculpt would happen or not.
I thought, “OMG, I used my powers for bad. I never wanted her hurt!”
Except I guess I kinda did, because I texted my boyfriend hoping class was cancelled and it WASN’T. Sigh. Superpower GONE.
My boyfriend, the fool, thought she would go easy on us since she had hurt her back. OH NO SHE DIDN’T. I think I said “Ow!” repeatedly and CAN I JUST SAY I can no longer listen to “Because the Night” by 10,000 maniacs without wincing. Why did she have to ruin that song by having us do planks and weights and squats and burpees? It just isn’t right.
And since she had hurt her back, she wanted to focus on arms, legs, and buttocks. Which means all of these muscles felt like someone wrung them and hung them out to dry the next day. I feel all weak and trembly like I might collapse at any moment.
I like how one classmate put it: “I think my left butt cheek is bigger because I can never make it through the right butt cheek exercises. I burn out on the left side.” #Truth
This exercising gig is supposed to get easier with time, right? RIGHT?!

Oh I know that feeling of hoping someone other than me will prevent me from going to exercise class!
I feel terrible but at least I’m honest!
Lol I have days like that, especially lots of Friday’s when I secretly hope my friend will want to work out after school so I don’t have to get up so early
I’m glad I’m not the only one! The important thing is that I DID get my booty up and to class in the end!
You’re right! That is the important part! I always think it would be so much easier if you saw results that were equivalent to how much you hurt
Right?! I’d be so much more motivated!
Me too!
Where’s the Smart technology for this anyway?! Lol
