i throw myself into these sessions full throttle. i cannot imagine my life now without fitness. maybe being a lazy pathetic sloth worked for me for a time before, but not now. now, i need that ish.

every saturday it’s modified so you don’t get bored. ever. yet using some of the drills you learned before you kind of know what to expect and it’s super easy to pick up and follow along as you go.

i was very proud of alyssa for showing up i’ll ask her for a full honest review after i post this for a follow-up.

oh i know, i have this anxiety breath exhalation i do a lot, you may notice it someday. we’ll be talking, or i’ll awkwardly be steering the ship and then i’ll go hoooooooooooo really quietly and probably put my hands on my hips maybe it’s just that i probably motor-mouthed for ten minutes straight and forgot to breathe. it happens.

this day i felt was a significant skinny day. the beginning of lovesickness.

push-ups are my nemesi. sometimes i am good at them, sometimes totally weak-ass.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425560067/in/photostream/

the man behind me pushing that thing is doing my favourite station. reminded me of the strong man (iron man?) competitions. so is. i want to ace it. i’m already there but i want to push it way faster and i want gloves to pull it faster too without scraping up my palms.

this is on one of the new fliers.

come to mama.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425563473/in/photostream/

destroyed it. my mom is walking around feeling her mom arms saying, “i need to go to the motion” while eyeing my slender new arms jealously. she is part retarded like me so she can’t get the full name out right. close though.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426168044/in/photostream/

you pull it all the way to yourself then you push it like an ox.

it’s a piece-a-cake but it’s also challenging.

we have a new trainer at TMR now too called the RUSSIAN NIGHTMARE. hahaha. going to brand him up like CAN YOU HANDLE THE RUSSIAN NIGHTMARE. while i’m training with james we watch him training a client and wow, i saw him like, jump in the air and do a mortal kombat spiral tornado twirl in the air then a kick one hand to the floor 360 rotation jump flip tuck i don’t know the fuck what but it was just for fun. he’s also really little. we’ve never been introduced but i know he watches me out of curiosity. who is this tall blond euro looking giraffe girl running for her life on the treadmill? he reminds me of the infamous psychotic olympic coach that held the girl with the sprained ankle who won USA the gold. there is just no way not to draw that comparison when i look at that guy.

i am getting jacked to hit the elliptical once i’m done this post now. these things work.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426171232/in/photostream/

look at all the hard worker bees.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426171938/in/photostream/

i could do that ten times in a row.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426172420/in/photostream/

i have papa eyes here. tiny and burnt-out.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425569975/in/photostream/

this one is great if you go zen you can really work it and your core, lift up and over going back and forth between arms. time it to the music.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425570415/in/photostream/

don’t forget to smile.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425570841/in/photostream/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425572031/in/photostream/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426176596/in/photostream/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425573337/in/photostream/

peace and lightning bolts.

bounce from one to the other to the middle and back again. bouncing somehow is exercise. breaks up the monotony too.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426181050/in/photostream/

don’t forget to have fun though.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426182552/in/photostream/

i look like icicles.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426184170/in/photostream/

i thought aqua eyeshadow would be a good time.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425582019/in/photostream/

oh great that’s james sneaking up behind me.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426188312/in/photostream/

getting in trouble. not really i was just laughing here.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425586777/in/photostream/

someone on twitter was like are you pushing a lawnmower? haha yeah. people never think before typing in arbitrary dumb lazy questions into twitter knowing some idiot will answer. i am guilty of this a lot, usually just with songs. WHAT’S THAT SONG WITH THE GIRL IN THE HAT AND THE SMILE? THANKS TWITTER!

step class. you get an element of everything on saturdays. speaking of which i am going so CONTACT the motion room if you want to go to boot camp too this saturday, or call:

6 4 7 – 3 5 1 – 8 6 7 1

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425591773/in/photostream/

gee i wonder what happiness is like. ha.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425593349/in/photostream/

better be careful or my face will stay that way.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426199096/in/photostream/

pose stepping. i’m actually working out here. yes you too can look this good and stupid at the same time. while working out!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425596299/in/photostream/

take mini breathers when needed.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425597605/in/photostream/

try not to trip up the step.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425599779/in/photostream/

i wonder what alyssa is thinking back there.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425600495/in/photostream/

i don’t really like the ball of sand thing anymore. i mean i like it but i don’t like raising it. i gather that mentality is what got my arms fat in the first place. anything you hate doing is the thing that will fix the trouble area you have on your body. seriously. who likes sit ups? how many of those people who didn’t raise their hand have washboard stomachs? exactly.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425601345/in/photostream/

so just shut up and do it basically. when i say no to james he just looks at me and so i keep doing lateral raises and leg lifts (worst!) because i know there is a goal here.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425603923/in/photostream/

these photos are two weeks old now so i am even trimmer. it’s a day-by-day results system with me. nothing tops your trainer telling you mondays wednesdays and fridays you look little, and then two days later littler than the day before. this is why i am an egomaniac right now. warranted cos i am earning it yes? i think this is also why no one gets along with fitness people. they are tunnel-visioned obsessed and only eat alfalfa sprouts and on their days off do yoga. (i am in the middle of trying to land someone like this right now hahaha).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426208464/in/photostream/

my dimple just punched you in the face.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425615465/in/photostream/

i am going to start thinking of fitness choreography for a video here pretty soon. which girls will be in it? april, britt, casie. abc hahahah.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425616157/in/photostream/

more importantly what do we wear? i want to rip off the girls next door video. ok buying it. purely for research purposes obviously.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426220476/in/photostream/

arm looks fat (obsessed) that shirt is a shrunken small so that isn’t helping. laughing here because i growled at jeff after he gave me my smoothie and i pounded half of it. yes, animal growled. it felt right and it felt good. see what noises you make this saturday.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425617237/in/photostream/

you start visualizing yourself as some thing out of x-men, so strong could hurl boulders though brick walls. i wonder if i can beat up my brother yet.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426221922/in/photostream/

or pin him. see this is when i had eyebrows.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426225166/in/photostream/

eyeshadow of champs. surprised it didn’t sweat off. the globe is coming next week i have to get lots of sleep for it and a new outfit.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426226294/in/photostream/

hipster fitness tool.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426227826/in/photostream/

woah roots. my appointment was on monday, brennen was renovating so couldn’t take me this week. another area of obsession in my life is my hair. tragic.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5426229652/in/photostream/

i was thinking i might dress like a fitness rainbow bright (raymbo) and casie as superman (she has a costume from wakestock) to show the globe how we insert fun into our social media worlds and campaigns i dunno, just a thought. the pics would look really cute. too juvenile, colleague?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425628461/in/photostream/

now picture me dressed as rainbow bright doing this.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425632083/in/photostream/

artistic. TMR are perfectionists. very new clean facilities, stylish, great atmosphere. everyone i bring in there immediately becomes hooked. tmr is on my brain every single day, if i’m not blogging it or there it’s a constant discussion with people, interested parties, when are we going again!? parties. it has changed my life for the good. at first i was like, what, three times a week for 3-6 months? no way. now? total way. totally. i’m dependent.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5425645493/in/photostream/
