Hubby is getting suspicious. I should have known the grunting, heavy breathing, and moans would catch his attention. This is what happens when you decide to start working out, get sore, and then have to milk cows. Who would have thunk it.
The first set of cows was murder. Not only is there squatting but how low can you go squatting because you have to be as low as the cows udder. Then.. here's the tricky part. You have to get back up and the only assistance is the cow in front of you and thats only if she doesn't object to you using her for assistance by trying to kick your head off because the noises you made getting down either freaked her out or made her curious enough that she is in the middle of eating your hair and doesn't want to be disturbed. Then.. there are my favorites.. the inchers. As you put each of the milkers on they inch away slowly so by the time you're trying to put the last one on you're reaching as far as you can trying not to fall forward. Normally not a problem because you can duck walk with them but this becomes impossible when you can barely squat.
By the second cow the questions started... What's wrong? What did you do? Did you get kicked? Are you just trying to make moaning noises? Why are you walking funny? Are you sure there is nothing wrong? To which the answers were.. Nothing. Nothing. No. Yes.. yes I am. I'm not. I think you're imagining things. Maybe I pulled a muscle or something.
You see.. I don't workout in front of hubby. I don't tell him when I'm working out. I don't tell him when I've lost weight. I don't tell him I'm trying to lose weight. This results in randomly being picked up, patted down, and twirled. Which I love! Plus he gets in some strange mood when he see's me lose weight but can't seem to do the same. And.. I'm not doing it for him I'm doing it for me and my jiggly bits. I don't want him to watch my jiggly bits jiggle like a bowl full of jelly as I attempt planks. Seriously! I am NOT attractive working out. Things jiggle and fall out and do things they aren't supposed to do!
So today.. I am back to exercising in my office hoping no one walks by and sees me. Don't ask me why but apparently it's way more acceptable for co-workers to see the train wreck that is my workout. Yeah.. because that makes sense.

I've always wondered what the cows were thinking!

That's hilarious, how you go from one to the udder! I don't know why; I always think of older people when I think of dairy cow farming. It's funny to think of a younger person working on a farm, and going through these aches and pains. I guess I'm guilty of stereotyping.

I love your journals! I know how you feel, but things will get better with all of that work you are putting in. I don't workout in front of my hubby either, he does know I'm doing it, but I could only imagine the horror of watching me do a workout. If I had a mirror I'd probably be afraid, or laughing at myself so much, it would deter me from working out. Your "jiggly bits" will be less jiggly before you know it.

Never mind what the dear hubby thinks or the coworkers. You're doing this for you and that's all that matters! Keep up the great work and you'll see the results. Love your journals.

I can work out at the gym but not infront of my husband or kids so yup I get it! Don't poush to hard. Remember you need to recover or you are going to get hurt and then you won't be of any use to anyone incuding yourself. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you are doing it for yourself! That's how it should be.

I feel the same. My kids try watching me and so do their friends. Makes me feel like a weirdo. Hubby just tries checking me out and saying obscene things so he doesn't get to watch me either. So I totally get it too. Also once things get less jiggly it seems less embarrassing. Just keep it up! :)

I'm in upstate ny lol Lizz you aren't the first person to suggest it. I ran it past hubby a few months ago and he's still in disbelief. He can't believe someone would want to come work just for the workout and he wouldn't have to pay them. I think he has an image of women in spandex who can't lift a haybale causing a giant mess. lol Hay season is in May for anyone who wants to help! lol
