Speaking of masochism, my trainer is not a well man. Today he had me kneel on the bosu (a half ball used for balance exercises) and roll an exercise ball as far away as possible and then come back. Not only that, but later he had me balance on my butt with my feet in the air, while he stood on one side and threw a medicine ball at me that I had to swing to the other side before lobbing back at him. Er. Other highlights included doing step-ups onto a weight bench; a 3min run at a 10% incline; and chest presses and flies while lying with my back on the ground and my feet bridging up on the exercise ball. What is WRONG with me him?

I will say this though - I haven't had ankle problems in weeks. Partly bc I haven't been running, of course, although he fingered the lack of running for why my knees have been hurting when I do run. He gave me absolution to slack for the next 3 months. Well, if by slack you mean doing any cardio I like, as long as I do 3 hours a week, and lift twice a week. Right.

I was planning on putting up a whole post about body image and Kate's food problems (the short version: I eat too much fat), but I couldn't quite get the right picture to illustrate - I looked silly every time I tried to take a picture of me flexing like [livejournal.com profile] kitiara did in the picture from a few years back. Oh well.

The good news is, tacos make a GREAT post-workout breakfast. and now I have pumpkin spice cafe au lait and red berries in cinnamon dip. w00t!

Absolutely nothing. Sounds to me like he enjoys watching an attractive woman move her body into different positions, which would be one of the best job perks of being a personal trainer.

"...an attractive woman move her body into different positions..."

Don't forget the whole sweating, grunting, and shivering part of that too.

Oh, I wasn't. I just didn't want to distract Kate so much she couldn't work. ;)

I'm kind of liking the picture of K balancing on her butt with her feet up in the air while somebody throws balls at her. ::woof::

But I digress....

I always feel silly when I take flex-y pics, but I like them so much I just don't care. :p
