The wedding festivities have officially begun for my BFF's wedding on Saturday!
I'm on day 1 of my 5 days off from work (hell yeah!), and that's about all I've done for the wedding thus far.
Well, I got a spray tan last night that left a wonderful stripe down my left arm, and a spot on my foot, so that's cool.
Remind me to pick up a lemon on my way home from kettle bells tonight....
Tomorrow I will pick up my dress, pick up a bridesmaid from the airport, throw the bachelorette party, and revel in the wedding awesomeness!
If I can get this spray tan under control, I will be so much happier...
Until then, it's tap dance and kettle bells tonight!
Next week is my dance recitals... holy shit!
*Cue panic and anxiety attack*
OK, gotta jet.
Keep it real,
Bamf

Rest Day
Aren't my new running shoes pretty?! They're heavenly!
Oh boy did I need a rest day today.Last night's kettle bell class worked me so hard that I couldn't sleep.
My gluts were so painful from my thigh to my lower back, and my upper back across the shoulder blades was oh so painful.
Abs, those were a hurting too.
I couldn't find a comfortable position in bed, so I just flopped all night.
Thankfully I only had to work a 4 hour shift at work today, so I bought a heating pad at work and came home to lay in bed all afternoon with my heating pad and body full of ibproufen.
I got a couple hour nap in, so that was nice.
Jazzercise most definitely didn't happen tonight- wasn't even a thought in my mind.
Hopefully tonight I will sleep like a champ.
My body is still sore, but nothing in comparison to how it was.
Tomorrow I will return to the gym, and continue on with my cardio and weight routine.
I love going and going moves that I have learned from my various classes and putting them together.
I get some weird sort of satisfaction doing that- I can't quite explain it.
Ok, off to bed for me.
I'm exhausted.
This is my daily reminder to always kick my own ass at the gym- to make it the best I can.
Stay classy,
Bamf

Holy Bananas
I'm fucking exhausted.
My arms are so damn sore.
Why is that, you ask?
Oh ya know, it's just due to kettle bells.
I have been working out with kettle bells in the past week, so I thought that I would kind of have a one-up on everyone else.
Nope, Sean pulled it out of nowhere and slapped me upside the head.
Cardio this week was squats.
Lots and lots of squats.
And lunges.
Lunges with weights, and lunges without weights.
Pushups, triceps curls with the kettle bells, lift both kettle bells over your head, squat some more with them...
You get the idea.
And then he kicked our ass with more crunches, and russian twists, and more torture.
Finished us off with laying on the floor, lifting the 25lb kettle bell from our chest, over our head to touch the floor, and then back to our chest.
Hot damn.
My whole upper body hurts, basically.
We'll see if the gym happens tomorrow.
I've noticed that if I go and gently work out the muscles, my body isn't as sore.
Ugh.
This sore sucks, but it doesn't suck.
I don't know what to feel.
I'm going to go and lay in bed, and pray that I can move in the morning.
Stay classy.
In pain,
Bamf

Tap dancing kettlebells
No, I don't do kettlebells while tap dancing.
That would be dangerous.
Super fun and entertaining, but very dangerous.
Tonight I have my normal tap dance class, and then I go to kettlebells!
I'm nervous, but excited.
I'm totally up for doing something new, I'm just afraid I won't be able to keep up.
Partly because I'm so incredibly not in shape, but also because I'm a klutz.
I'm always afraid of breaking something- it's just how my life goes.
The good news is that my friend Lindsay is taking the class with me, so that will be fun.
I had my fitness consultation at the YMCA today, and I really liked the girl who is also a personal trainer.
She asked about my goals, past injuries, habits, and nearly everything else.
She gave me a few tips, and then asked if I was interested in personal training.
I have 75 YBucks that I can use, so I think I'll put them towards three 1 hour sessions with her.
Hopefully I can make it happen with my schedule, especially in the next month, so we'll see.
I'll have to shell out $64, but I think I can make that happen.
My health is a huge part of my life, duh, so whatever works to get it better (within reason, of course).
Did you know that they charge up to $999 for twenty 1 hour sessions with a personal trainer?
Holy. Shit.
I wish I had that kind of money... but alas, I don't.
Even twenty 30 minute sessions are $540.
Ugh, too bad I'm damn near at the poverty level.
Oh well, I will make due.
So yeah, that's that.
I have a few classes that I want to try and take at the Y, so I think my social life will suffer.
That's OK, I'm not too worried.
I would rather work out anyway.
I'm a strange individual.
Time to go get ready for my busy night.
Cross your fingers that it doesn't snow here tonight/tomorrow.
Snow is lame, especially in the middle of April.
Stay classy.
Overbooked,
