I like frogs

First of all, the name is absolutely terrible. If I tell somebody, "Hey, I'm gonna go ahead and do some squats," the uninformed listener would be like, "wtf?"

Before I knew what a squat was, I always thought of it as an adjective for a particularly unattractive mossy stump or maybe the awkward position we try to pull when we gotta do, uh, number 2 in a port-o-potty.

Now that I know what it is, I still don't like it because it [I]is[/I] an awkward position where I kinda sink on my knees and stick my butt out at the poor innocents who were unlucky enough to be somewhere behind me, like the whole west coast.

Then, when I actually commit and do the exercise - like, OW! What sort of maniac invented this exercise? Seriously, I couldn't walk at a decent pace for, like, 3 days after my first set of squats. I get that it's about making my legs stronger, but I wish I could become stronger without first painfully crippling my mobility!

So, I have had a particularly intense workweek and have missed the gym for a solid week. I can't get back until Monday because I open on weekends (Coincidentally, I've opened the past 4 days too), and when I'm working 70 hour weeks, I just don't have the strength of mind or body to jump out of bed like a Cheetah leaping after an antelope (or whatever Cheetah's eat) and run to the gym as the sun rises.

I was finally getting used to the gym work-outs after almost 2 solid weeks of near-daily exercise, but I have a feeling that Monday is going to be a painful realization that my muscles and probably the whole rest of my body has already reverted to a thick lump of dough.

Maybe if I type faster, I can burn enough calories to make up for the lost time.
Or maybe I should lock the door, put on some gym shorts and do something I'll regret for the next 3 days.
