My First VooDoo Victim is-Drum Roll Please

The 10 minute GooRoo TONY HORTON! Look at him standin' there all smug.
I know everyone always says the only way to slim down is by diet AND exercise so as promised I thought I would give good ole Mr. E a try. I finally broke the seal on my 10 minute workout video. Suuuuurely, I can endure exercise for a measly only 10 minutes. Right?

As the directions instructed I slipped on my "workout" clothes, put on my tennis shoes, cleared a spot in the living room floor, hit play and the fun began. "Hey, this isn't so bad" I thought with Lou's constant kackling in the background. I was movin' and a groovin', feelin' good about myself and what I was doin'. I was starting to get a little warm, my face turning red and was becoming winded when all of the sudden Mr. Toooony says "Ok group. Way to go. You have just completed your 2 minute warm up". Warm up, warm up? Are you serious? And then I hear him say "Don't forget to do your 2 minute cool down at the end of your workout". I hit pause and had a stare down with the TV.

I gave myself a pep talk and decided...it's cool, I'm down with this. 2 minute warm up, 2 minute cool down and a 6 minute workout. Hey, this is better than I thought. It's actually only 6 minutes. Woo Hoo!

I hit play and began. Again. I'm into it about 3 minutes (max) and am literally about to die when I notice in the corner a clock that is counting down and it's on 7:20. 7:20?? I thought is was only 6 minutes? I worked out a few more minutes (or seconds-whose counting?) and had to sit down.

I can't even believe I'm telling this on myself let alone putting it in writing. Anywho. I sit in my lazy boy and watch the rest of the video and they're just a talkin' and a smilin' while their workin' out makin' it look easy when it's NOT. Come to find out. It's a 2 minute warm up, 10 minute workout and a 2 minute cool down. I am not a mathematician by no means but I know 2+10+2=14 not 10! And don't try to justify it as the warm up and cool down is not exercise because if you are up moving around it's exercise!!

So, I'm going to suck it up, quit being a cry baby and do my best at this. No Pain No Gain! Blah, Blah, Blah. Whoever said that is STUPID and my next mission is to discover who said that and make them my next VooDoo victim.

Until by next cry baby session~
