fun fun fun fun

so lately the hubsy and i have been obsessed with making fun of this music video.

basically we can't help ourselves.

it's just so fun fun fun fun to make fun of!

it makes me want to do some partying partying yeah!

i should probably be writing this post on a friday or sunday 'cause it comes afterwards.

oh man, i could do this all day but i'll stop now.

and if you didn't understand anything i just said you NEED to watch this video.

besides making fun of unbelievably talented 14 year olds singers, Matt and i have been trying to exercise and eat healthy.

we wake up early and work out and then keep each other motivated as we starve during the day.

we also went shopping yesterday with coupons *gasp*

my big sister, a.k.a the coupon master, was very proud.

we ended up saving over 10% of our total while we bought mostly things we needed/usually buy.

we even went specifically to Bashas so we could buy Sunny D because it was on sale and i had a coupon and it ended up being only 49 cents!

the lady at the register told me it was an excellent deal and i pretended i was a seasoned couponer and said "yeah i know!"

which was basically a total joke because i had no idea it was going to be that cheap when i went up to the register but i totally fooled that cashier!

now if you'll excuse me i think i'll go drink some of that deliciously cheap Sunny D.

i was wrong before

yoga isn't torture, it's pure evil!

the devil himself created yoga and you want to know how i know that?

he tried to kill me with it last night.

yesterday, when matt and i woke up we didn't feel any soreness at all.

i thought to myself "man, maybe we're not as out of shape as we thought we were."

WRONG!

slowly throughout the day i started to get more and more stiff.

holy cow! you have no idea how stiff i was by the time matt got home!

and he said the same thing happened to him!

so we decided to do the stretches at the end of the P90X yoga video because a couple people told us that those are good stretches and we needed our bodies to loosen up.

it sounds like a good plan right?

well we were going along all fine and dandy when we got to the point where they do the bridge/wheel stretch.

bridge is for unflexible people and wheel is for the experts.

please.

i have done this wheel move a million times in my younger years and i knew i still could so i decided to show off for my cutie patootie husband and show him what i can do.

oh how i wish i could go back in time and make myself NOT do that because i then spent the rest of the night like this...

with an ice pack on my back and my feet propped up and hardly able to move.

i can honestly tell you how it feels to be a middle aged man when his back goes out.

awesome.

now i know that you're all thinking "what an idiot!" and yes, i am an idiot but let me tell you where my problem started.

obviously it started when i decided to do that little wheel move but the real problem occurred after that.

i was up in the wheel pose all fine and dandy and thought that i could move my hands even closer to my feet for a bigger bend.

THERE! right there is when my problem happened!

i already have a bad lower back issue going on and this took that issue to the breaking point!

i fell back on the floor consumed in a pain that i have never felt before in my entire life!

i actually had to ask matt to help me up because i couldn't move an inch on my own.

i then spent about 10 minutes straight curled in a little ball trying to stretch my back out the opposite way which didn't help very much but i didn't know what else to do.

then the rest of the night was spent sitting with an ice pack or heating pad and ordering matt to get me stuff so i didn't have to get up.

love you matt!

moral of the story kids: don't do crazy yoga poses to show off to your hubsy because you might hurt your back so bad you won't be able to walk for days...or you could die!

yoga = torture

matt and i decided that we are going to start working out together at night time.

we haven't been doing a very good job because watching tv while snuggling on the couch seems like a much better plan than going out and running, right?

well last night we decided to kick our bad habit and do our exercising together.

i've been wanting to do yoga because countless people have told me that if i did some yoga before bed it might help my insomnia and i realized something...

people who say that yoga is relaxing LIE!

i do have to admit that we did the P90X yoga which is probably normal yoga on steroids but still,

you can't breathe and relax while you're bending all crazy and holding yourself up in awkward positions and making your body do things it really REALLY doesn't want to do.

but i guess i need to keep doing it to see if it gets any better.

plus out of an hour and a half video we only made it half an hour.

we got sick of the stand up pose, plank, upward dog, plank, downward dog, back up and again.

it was basically this...

over and over and over and over again.

now tell me, does any of that look normal to you?

negative.

after the half hour we gave up on the video and just went for a run.

let me correct that, matt went for a run while i jogged/walked/died of an asthma attack.

oh the joys of exercise.

i can't wait to do it all over again tonight!
