Welcome to Recovery Week!

The workout this morning was interesting, tough but not crazy tough. I think it's gonna be a good week! I also think that I'm going to be bored after doing the same workout for 6 days. It's all good...I'm sure that next week I'll be wishing I was still in recovery. Next week we start the more intense Month 2 which means longer workouts and everything is labeled "MAX". Yikes.

As you know, I initially swooned over Tanya...but now I'm starting to get super annoyed with her. I'm pretty convinced that she's a professional worker-outer and maybe an actress too, but not a good one. Or maybe she's just one of those really peppy people that seem fake all the time... or maybe she's actually in her 50s and that's why she is pumped about being there, but I really think she's just hamming it up for no reason. Here's an example of what I'm talking about...today Shaun T takes extra time between moves so that he can explain form and we can rest, and while Shaun T is explaining Tanya is constantly nodding her head and making faces that combine the emotions of fear (like she's thinking to herself...oh this is gonna be tough!) and excitement, a-la Tony the Tiger on the Frosted Flakes box. She's always smiling when a smile is not appropriate, like she is trying to show me that the workout is easy to master and that she's pumped...but Tanya, the workout is not easy, it's hard and it makes me want to crawl back into bed, stop faking. Sometimes Tanya can still pump me up...but only when she doesn't have those stupid goofy expressions. Most of the other people are focused and have genuine and appropriate expressions for most of the workout...so Tanya: quit hamming it up and do the damn thing! At least I'm not alone, thanks Beach Body people...threads like these make these workouts so much more enjoyable =)
