Optimus Prime

I haven't blogged in awhile for team AMDG, but during this short time off the three of us clearly have transformed into physical specimens. I think we should change our name to Optimus Prime as we so easily transformed ourselves. In fact, we even make sounds like Transformers while we work out. It sounds like this, "bee boo bop beep". You have to say it out loud to really get a feel for it.

To give you an update, let's start with Megan. I have no idea. Haven't heard from her in awhile. My guess is she quit. Not because of her lack of will or determination, but because Mike probably goes home every day and says things like, "Megan, Todd (our trainer) says we have to eat this" and "Megan, Todd said you have to 756 push ups tonight". She probably couldn't take it anymore.

Mike pushes through his breast injury quite nicely. I mean he babies it all the time, but he makes up for it by ridiculing me. Yesterday he told me to shut up after we ran stairs and I asked him if he felt like he was going to die. I simply wanted to know if he felt ok. Jeez.

Mike does make a good point every now and then though. He told me that the biggest change in me since the beginning of this hellish competition was my breakfast choices. Apparently a Red Bull and sprinkled Donut do not count for a hearty healthy start to your day. I don't know why, I usually had a great first ten minutes to class. Of course this was followed by the crash in which I told students to "figure it out themselves". Wait, Kathy Tullis reads this. What I really said was "As the Jesuits would do, go forth and pursue answers on your own and don't let the truth evade your brilliant little minds". Followed by "God Bless".

Lastly, my old excuse for not working out used to be my head size. When I was a young skinny high school senior, I had a skinny face and large head. Then freshmen year of college came and so did Taco Bell and Pizza Hut every night about 11 p.m. Since then, I feel like my face is porportional. So I would say to myself, "don't lose weight, it will make your head look bigger". Of course, I ignored the love handles and jiggle jangle of the stomach. Now as I have lost 12 pounds in the three weeks, I don't worry about it as much. Especially when Todd calls me a beast. Although he could just be referring to the amount of body hair I possess. And why is it that bald people always have tons of body hair? Too much information? Wow, I paint a pretty picture don't I? I better hurry up and get married.
