The Tale of My Gluteus Maximus and A Little Doughnut History.

At Blair and Stefanie's recommendation I did TWO ab dvd workouts on Monday. Was it hard? Yes. Did it hurt the next day? A little. Was it anything compared to "Sexy Summer Beach Body" on Comcast OnDemand? No!!

I thought I did pretty well with the abs which must have led to my getting a little overzealous when I got ready to do yesterdays workout. She had me doing so much I don't even know where to begin, but I can tell you how it ended, with my butt muscles hurting so much I can barely sit without cringing. I honestly think these muscles did not exist until yesterday. Throw in my aching thighs and knees and you basically have my whole lower body in critical care. Ouch. I know this is a good thing because I am tapping into muscles that previously must have been the size of a grain of rice but it doesn't make it hurt any less.

Today's mission, focus on the top half and let my lower half rest.

Weak Moment of the Day?
This morning I went to Doughnut Country. I only got me one chocolate iced doughnut and then (thinking I would be oh so nice and get my roommate some too) I order a dozen doughnut holes for Kristen. How nice of me right?

Guess what?
Kristen doesn't like doughnuts.

I know, I know, I think she is a freak of nature as well, especially since she puts ketchup on mac and cheese (ew.), but the point is now I have doughnut holes sitting in my kitchen. Untouched. I won't tell you how many I ate but I will assure you it wasn't all 12. Still, when I did the calorie count is was somewhere in the upper 500's. Yeah. It is painful to type.

Who created doughnuts one might ask themselves?
Who created such a wonderful piece of puffed up dough that melts in your mouth and has a bazillion calories?

Supposively Hanson Greggory did in 1847. His mom baked little cakes and he didn't like the middle of them, so he cut them out thus creating the doughnut. There are other theories, but they all involve Hanson and his mother.

I would consider Hanson and his mother my biggest love/hate relationship in my life to date.



Come on Maria Menounos, we both know you are going to eat half that doughnut than run for your life to the closest gym. If I had any sense I would have too.
