Day Two - Jelly Leg Day

Day two begins after a nice nights sleep.  I wake refreshed. Big improvement form the day before.  Then I try to move my arms.  They really don't like me; but it could be worse. I get dressed and head down stairs. Put in the dvd, read the warnings, get that awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. I feel that will be a reoccurring theme. Plyometrics.  If you have done this workout... enough said.  Tony Horton even says this will kill you. Not like that but the doom in his voice about this workout pierced into my mind.  (audible Gulp!!) I can do this. "Come on Aaron." I tell myself. Warm up begins. Warm up ends. No big oh crap what am i doing thoughts this time. But that bad feeling is still there.  And then the fun begins. Please note the sarcasm. in the last sentence. For those of you who don't know that plyometrics is; its basically jump training.  Squat, jump, squat unnaturally, jump. I remember jump rope.  That was fun. This is not. Squat jump, squat hop, Hiseman, tires. I can feel my legs trembling.  I don't know how much more I can do.  Tony lets out his "Do your best, and forget the rest!" I half yell half pant out, "It's hard to forget pain when its happening Tony!" He seemed to laugh at me. Yet he kept encouraging me. I didn't think I would make it. I couldn't do anything close to the people on the dvd; but I got through it. My legs shaking not wanting to keep going.  I made it.  Barely.  That was hard.  I come up stairs, grab a cup of water turn around and there is staring at me is the most evil thing in the world at that moment.  Leftover birthday cake.... And Funfetti cupcakes. Oh the humanity!!! Oh how I wanted to dive into those.  But reason cooled my mind. I ran away like a girl from those tasty morsels.  A plan came to my mind. Take them to work.  Let them eat them.  So I did.  And that made harder to resist. These are really good they told me eating them in front of me.  Somehow I managed. Legs still sore and filled with jelly. I made it through Day Two!!!!
