Once upon a time there was a recovering chunky-butt named Kirsten who decided she wanted to work in a gym-o-awesomeness and surround herself with healthy, fit-minded peeps. As part of her indoctrination into the land of IFAST-dom, she was awarded an assessment that verified her strengths and weaknesses as a dormant athlete. She quickly proved herself to have the dexterity of a Weeble-Wobble. They sent their noble and optimistic warrior, Sir Jae, to feverishly train Kirsten in the art of Anti-Humpty-Dump-tery.

WEEK 6:
This week, life on the home front left me feeling oh so stabby. In lieu of risking prison life – cuz nobody looks good in that shade of orange – I fell face first into a sleepless mental tornado. Similarly, I was completely unmotivated to move my body in any direction except towards the fridge. But this time? Processing my feelings with a fork or spoon was a mere temporary blip on the road map of my journey. This time, ladies and gentlemen, I asked for help. It blessed me with the will to keep on fighting. Now I’m locked, loaded, and ready to succeed another day. it’s enough; all I ever need is enough fight for today.
Even the darkest rains can make beautiful things blossom. And I’m determined to get my bloom on.
Behold: Me Blooming with My Trap Bar
Living happily ever after,
Kirsten
LAST WEEK’S GOALS:
- Rock my new program GRADE: B
- Eat for hunger GRADE: C
THIS WEEK’S GOALS:
- Weigh once a week instead of daily
- Log everything for next week’s nutritional consultation with Jessica Robertson.
LESSONS LEARNED:
- Turns out it’s called a TRAP bar because it’s shaped like a TRAP-ezoid and *not* because one might – hypothetically – feel TRAPped inside. Who knew?!
- I have self-diagnosed myself with Cardio-A.D.D. and am super excited that Jae has updated my program to rotate 5-minute intervals between the sled, the treadmill, and the prowler (ok, maybe not SUPER excited about the prowler part).
