Damn, I'm Going to Get a Tan!

Day 76

Thursday, March 24, 2011

I already knew I'd be getting a really dark, really fake looking, but really fun for a pale ass like me airbrush tan for the EC. In fact, that's the whole reason I have to leave the morning prior, to make my two airbrush appointments at the host hotel. Despite having already known all of this, the degree of tan I'll be did not set in until my bottle of Mac Makeup NW45 foundation showed up on my doorstep. The airbrsh tanning company specs that shade to wear to match for competition and damn, I'm gonna be tan! Haha =) (click pic to enlarge and better see the crazy contrast if you wish)

P.S. Don't mind the lovely bloated look in the pic. That's the I had a NY steak for dinner look. Leg day = steak day.

"I'm tired" is my general theme lately so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I trained Legs and Glutes at Gold's today. Then I got talked into trying a 30 minute TRX class in place of my intended 30 minutes on the StairMaster. Good choice! A try to kill me right after working legs choice, but GOOD FOR ME choice. It's sort of like plyometrics on crack. Well, not exactly. It is basically plyos drills while using a bungee rope thing with handles that is attached to the ceiling. Your foot might be in it for a tough rewrite of burpees, or mountain climbers, or various planks, or you might be gripping them for hopping squats, rows, or twists with a dumbbell. The biggest difference (to me) from regular plyos is that there are no 2 minute breaks between sets like Laura lets me have, no breaks at all! Regular plyos with breaks kick may ass, so ummm these definitely did! I was plum wore out. Granted I'd already been in the gym for 90 minuttes, but still! I should (hopefully will) do TRX again to shake up my cardio / fat burning routine.
