'That' Girl

Sunday, July 14

One night I came home from work, got settled in my pjs, grabbed some dinner, and climbed into bed. I automatically switched it to Adult Swim to see if American Dad or Family Guy (my two staple go-to-bed-shows) were on. They weren't. So the channel flipping began and I landed on A&E.

This is when I discovered the wonderful Robertson clan.

(Go here to find out about them, because it'll take awhile.)

I became addicted. I knew of the show but never really watched it. So when I did, and Uncle Si opened his yap I fell in love with this rag tag crew of rednecks.

I don't hunt, I don't fish, I really don't associate myself with the outdoors that much. I want to, but I don't. However, I was raised in East Texas where this is the norm, so even if you don't do it you know how and what it is.

The Robertson clan only lives three hours away from me so I know the area, know the lifestyle, and etc. Anytime I watch or read something so close and relatable I LOVE it. But this was different. I don't like reality shows. I really loathe them, but something about this family just has me hooked.

I think it was Si singing some of the Humpty Dance that cemented it for me, or my fondness for Miss Kay and wanting everything that woman makes.

Plus they're good people. I've met people who have met them and they have nothing but good things to say about them.

So this is my explanation of my Duck Dynasty love affair. If it's Wednesday night and I don't have to work you will find me in front of my TV in my pjs peering into a world that I love and sometime secretly wish I was apart of.

I love exercising. It makes me feel wonderful afterwards and I feel like I have a new lease on life. That being said, I HATE cardio workouts.

My family is currently on a "let's go to the gym as a family" kick and because I have the time to spare and I like it as long as there isn't an obscene amount of people at the place.

But TODAY! OMG! I awoke at 7:30 to get dressed for an 8:30 workout class. My sister is really big on the classes and she's used to the kind of workout we did.

I downed a protein shake, because the one I have is delicious and if I don't have time to go grab food they fill me up until I can. That was mistake number one.

Number two: I'm a yogi! Yoga is my life as a workout. It's slow enough for me to get on the bandwagon and the hard stuff isn't that hard if my equilibrium wants to behave that day, so going from that kind of mind frame to what we did was intense.

Number three: If you ever see something called TRX, I really do recommend doing it. It's this cool suspension workout and it's really not that exasperating; just don't do a combo routine class. We had to do weightlifting (which two pounds on each side was too much for me and I lift 50 pound boxes at work ALL THE TIME; I think there's something wrong with me). Then there was this thing like push ups but not push ups, it was hard.

Point of my story: I got sick and I will stick to the elliptical or find an empty room to be my yogi self.
