Yay Thursday!
I hope you had lovely Wednesdays. My day was OK, nothing special.
Last night was TapOut Plyo. I had mentioned that I was a bit scared and I had good reason. Thankfully it really wasn’t much like Insanity (phew). TapOut’s version of plyo isn’t quite as well, insane, as Insanity.
I was sweating a ton but was probably only able to do about 60% of the workout. Lots of jumping lunges, weird pushups (of course), and compound movements involving quite a few different moves. Even though it was hard, it was still somewhat enjoyable and again, nowhere near as repetitive as Insanity.
I think Yoga is on the schedule for tonight so we’ll see how that goes. We didn’t get to the cycle shop last night so I think we’ll try to get there tonight.
This is the road bike that they rent. (nice little plug for the cycle shop)
It’s a Trek 1.5 Compact and retails for $1120, which is nice since it’s not the bottom of the barrel. I think we’ll make a happy couple. 🙂 I’m kind of excited about the prospect of a new hobby.
In another random direction…
As I think I mentioned, for my birthday I got a Google Nexus, which I wanted primarily to use as an e-reader. I just finished my second book on there, Girl Unmoored, so I was in need of a new book.
I’ve been using the free Kindle app for reading so I was browsing Amazon for their under $3.99 books (I can be a bit frugal). While looking at one book, there was a suggestion for another book which got decent reviews and while the cover photo was a bit cheesy, the price was $0.00. So I figured I had nothing to lose.
It downloaded and when I opened it up to read, I saw that it was a Harlequin Romance novel. I laughed out loud and was a little embarrassed. I laughed even more when on the first or second page a woman accidentally ran in to a man and the descriptive text had to mention her ample yet firm breasts crushing up against him. Really????
I’m trying to be open-minded but it’s hard. Has anyone ever read a Harlequin Romance? Feel free to comment anonymously (ha!). Should I just give up now?

I love the sound of TapOut. Insanity without the insane — perfect!
I’ll continue with the reviews.
I think it’s a bit pricey though, like all the Beachbody products. Not sure since the bf bought it 😉
Haha! I don’t know why everyone is so into 50 Shades of Gray….the Harlequins sound like they’re just as graphic! My friend’s mom almost used to read them in high school and they would be laying all around her house
50 Shades of Gray – another thing I don’t get 🙂
