This is for my daughter’s 13-year old friend who told her “Your mom SWEARS on her blog!” (and Brielle, you know who you are )
“Dam” is not a swear word
“Dumb bass” is not a swear word
“Hell” is a place (where I’ve been for six days now!) and even if you consider it a swear word, I used it while quoting someone else who may have used it as a swear word, so therefore it does not count as a swear word.
“Rationalization” is what I just did in the preceding paragraph – but that’s how I roll!
Day 6 – my arms are like cooked noodles (BIG noodles; maybe dumplings)—limp and white.
We worked out arms tonight and now I am typing with my toes. There will be no drawings to illustrate the fun tonight (I’m not that good with my toes).
I did not have the 30-pound vest!
I did have to do 10 pushups for “eyeballing” the instructor.
I had to do that Dead Cockroach thing again. It was HELK! (that word was for the two Bri’s—Brielle & Brianna)
I survived the ordeal, then walked outside, slipped and fell on the ice and caused a small tremor to rock the Salt Lake Valley.
No Diet Coke for 8 days (Diet Coke is not a swear word either, Brielle)

Day Two - BootcampwithJess
Today was “A” day (2nd day of HADES week)
As in “ARE YOU INSANE?”
Yes, it is confirmed. I went back voluntarily—muscles screaming at me all the way.
I would like to introduce you to my least favorite exercise. It is my least favorite because of 1) Its name – Dead Cockroach and 2) The deceptive way it feels like a relief for the first 30 seconds and then you wish you were a dead cockroach as the next few minutes drag on and your legs curl up involuntarily and a scream threatens to rip from your throat.
Here is an actual picture of me doing the Dead Cockroach exercise (note how my poor legs are curling, involuntarily):
(Actually, I look quite thin in this picture, so I think BootcampwithJess is already working!)
Counts:
Push ups today for breaking the rules: 50
Number of injured limbs my instructor has: 1
Number of injured limbs I wish he had: 4
Number of times I jumped to touch the top of the door jamb while wearing a 30-lb vest: 35
How heavy a 30-lb vest feels after jumping 35 times while wearing it: 100 lbs.
Diet Cokes I’ve consumed: 0
Number of firearms I purchased in the past 24 hours (curse that waiting period!): 0
