Not Easily Broken

Although feeling dejected, rejected and distraught after yesterday's conversation with all-business Brenda, I decided I'm not that easily broken. I truly don't know what more I could do to be successful at getting this weight off unless I started doing meth. Which I would do if I wasn't aware of all the side effects like losing my hair, my teeth, my family and you know...possibly my life. But since I am aware of all those side effects -- I guess doing meth is out of the question. (Just kidding...as if I would ever do anything illegal. I'm just saying I'm desperate -- you know?)
I went in today for another beating by all-business Brenda. Let's just say she was cracking the whip from the get-go this morning. She started yelling at me to "let's go!" while I was still in the parking lot...inside my car. She pulled into the parking lot right after I did and hopped right out and started yelling just as I was gathering up my purse and water bottles. I couldn't get out of the car fast enough. That's when it started. "Kelli, let's go! Kelli, run faster. Kelli, how many? Kelli, jumping jacks. Kelli, boxing. Kelli, squats. Kelli, move. Kelli, over here. Kelli, right here. Kelli, you're moving too slow. Kelli, we only have 4 weeks left until the next weigh-in. Kelli, let's get this fat off. Kelli, right here. Kelli, over there. Kelli, we've got to get these legs off. Kelli, how many sets? Kelli, get going. Kelli, if you stop I'm going to flog you with a baguette. Kelli...Kelli...Kelli." Ok, so she didn't say she would flog me but I'm sure she would have had there been a baguette around. Good thing she doesn't keep bakery items at her gym. I was so tired of hearing my name this morning I considered heading straight to the social security office to change my name to Thelma. But I was too sweaty and stinky and one of my little hell-yuns needed to get to school. Just to be clear - it wasn't like I wasn't moving. It's not like I was sitting there giving myself a manicure. I was moving. I was doing everything she told me to do. But, that's just how some days are when you work out with all-business Brenda. Since, I'm not easily broken, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's workout and fighting off more fat.
