When they say you don't appreciate something until it's gone I think they were talking about arm function. I had a very hard time buckling my seat belt and shifting gears to drive home. All that I could think about was "If I get in an accident I wonder if knowing your arms can't function is comparable to drinking and driving..."
Oh yeah, so today I did arms. In between our reps we are supposed to do something active for about 45 seconds or so jumping jacks, stationary bikes, push-ups (ha). Z called me over to the back door and said "Tera, you have 15 seconds to sprint to that fire hydrant across the parking lot and back. 1...2" Oh jeez... I didn't even start running yet. The whole time I was running I was thinking about what I would have to do if I didn't make it back in time. Luckily I didn't have to find out or maybe that's why I had to do all those extra chest presses at the end. Actually, those might have come about when I asked if push-ups would make your boobs smaller. :) It definitely made him laugh... probably not entirely appropriate, but how else am I supposed to find out if I don't ask?
I started doing some Spanish lessons on Rosetta Stone the other day. It uses Dynamic Immersion to teach students other languages. It makes perfect sense why this approach would be so successful since this is how I learned my first language and all, but it took me a lot of years to learn English. I am really an immediate results kind of person. I'm not sure what I could do and finish instantly. I guess that's why working hard for something (like my core) makes things a little more interesting.
Here is something that took a lot of time for me to do... it seems so simple, but it took 20 minutes for me to pluck up the courage to go out there (two of those feet are not mine) :)
