Oh, Hi Neighbor. WIWW. Hooker Shoes on a Sunday. Sometimes I Crawl.

Linking up here.
shirt: old navy skirt, belt: f21 shoes: charlotte russe
Once upon a time, I went to take pictures in my backyard. It was totally normal (as normal as taking outfit photos in a backyard can be, anyway) and all good until Mike started laughing. Our neighbor was pretty confused as to why I was outside modeling hooker shoes and a skirt for my husband. We must be some kind of kinky. 

... okay, so I realize that's not even remotely kinky, but whatever. On to more important things. Like this amazing DIY (I so wish I was crafty. and a trash digger. or both.). Or like how burritos are the best thing since sliced bread. Or... Like how my legs feel like they're going to fall off. You want to know why? Okay, let me tell you. 

Have you ever heard of Insanity with Shaun T? Yeah, I've done that workout program 1.5 times (the half was the summer before we went to Germany). It's freaking hard. 
You know what's harder, though? Kettlebell Kardio at the Northeast YMCA in Lincoln, NE. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. I have never been this sore. Now, I realize that this is only my 3rd week of working out, but seriously. It's like Insanity on steroids. Not only are you doing crap like burpees and cross-jacks, but you're adding in resistance training with one of these puppies: 
Yeah. It sucked. And me, being the super competitive idiot that I am, decided to try and keep up with the ripped out of her mind instructor, even when my legs started to shake. Bad idea. 

You know what else was a dumb idea? Going to cycling last night to try and make my legs feel better. Oh, they felt great when I was on the bike. When I got home, though? I started to crawl around the house because it was less painful than walking. Crawling was alternated with shrieks of pain. This was me: 
Moral of the story: Don't ever exercise. Or, if you start exercising, don't take a year off, because it will kill you when you decide to go back to the gym. 

The End.

Sara Louise said...

I honestly can't tell which photo I like more; the awkward neighbor or the crawling censored boobage. It's a tough call.

Discovery Street said...

you are awesome.

Jennie said...

Hiiiii boooooobies!

Alex, Speaking Denglish said...

kinky photoshoots? boob action? what are we going to do with you? your neighbor isn't the only one concerned ;)

but really whenever i'm being weird and taking photos solely for the purpose of my blog i always wonder what people are thinking. ya know, bc they don't know it's for my blog. whatever.

Dearest Lou said...

Haha oh goll. I love the captions you put on the pictures involving your neighbor. Sometimes I wonder if my neighbors think we are nuts too.. but I feel like since I have this belly to work with they just assume we are taking pictures of my progress. I did insanity for like 3 weeks last summer and I loved it but what you did sounds painful! You over did it girl! Slow and steady is the best way to get back into working out (;

Laura said...

Haha! I love the expression on your face in the censored boob shot. I love your outfit and I want my own hooker shoes. Those are great! have a good day Alyx!

rooth said...

Kettlebell Kardio sounds AWFUL. I can barely do a cross training type work out without any resistance - holy crap is what I say to that

kim @ a positive peace said...

lmao.

seriously.

haahaha. that picture with your neighbor is too funny, mostly bc the look on your face is like ahahah carefree happy outfit post and she's behind you like wtf is this lady doing!

then the crawling pic. too much! starting my day off with a lot of laughs thanks to you homie! so thanks for that!

hope youre able to walk into work today, otherwise ...awkwaaardd! hah!!

Unknown said...

And that is why I don't exercise! LOL!

Style Journey said...

Your post title brought me to your blog and your exercise story had me totally rolling off my chair! Exercise sucks, lol! Heather

RadiantKristen said...

Oh Alyx...

I started that way, because I really don't know where I wanna go with this comment. Hmmmm, let's start with burritos. Ammon will eat any food so long as it is in burrito or taco form. We're taco/burrito people. It's better than sliced bread, which we rarely eat.

You wanna know what else is great? The freaked out look on your neighbor's face. Classic.

Lastly... what isn't great is being sore because we are too competitive to go at our own pace instead of the instructor's pace. Silly instructors, being all fit and stuff.

Mallory Baker said...

You totally crack me up. Loved the "censored boobage" picture, I lol'd.

EMily said...

oh yeah, those kettle bell cardio classes will kick your butt! I'm sure if that is a good thing, or a bad thing though.

Why Girls Are Weird said...

I totally get weirded out that someone's going to see me taking outfit pictures lol.

Raych said...

My neighbors used to weird me out too. Then I moved to NYC and everyone is everywhere so I just pretend they are all in their underwear and it woks out. :)

Unknown said...

You are so funny!!! And I don't think you like look a hooker ;) You look awesome!

Unknown said...

You're a nut Alyx, but I love ya!
Totally love the confused neighbor...that was great! Did you invite her over for tea yet? Maybe you can interview her for your 7 questions with Gentri. Hahaha

Breenah said...

You make me laugh so much, it's kind of ridiculous.

Whitney H said...

Oh man, I just love your blog! haha. You are hilarious. I love the looks I get when I'm taking random photos for my blog!

Ashley said...

I LOVE your neighbor in that one picture. Haaaalarious.

She probably comes by a few times a week to get fashion inspiration.

Anonymous said...

Hahahaha....your neighbor is in the picture!!! That is FUNNY!!! Probably not the last time she's going to see you guys do something weird over there! :o)

Wow...so I thought you were just bike riding, but no! You are getting into some pretty hardcore stuff! You really will look like your photoshopped self soon!!!

Simply Evani said...

LOL I nearly died of laughter on that censored boobage picture. You kill me Alyx. Thanks for being part of the inspiration for my own fitness journey, Day 1 for me!!

Omg per usual I laughed like a psycho AT my desk while coworkers were passing. Oh hey. Nothing to see here just laughing at the internets! :)

Natasha Louise Taylor said...

censored boobage, hahahaha!! that made me laugh. accidental cleavage shots are the funniest and your neighbour, I would have loved to have been a fly on her wall when she expressed what she just saw to her husband or whatever. So funny!

Kym said...

Ok, everything about this post is hilarious (sorry, but I'm laughing at your pain too because, well, you're crawling on the floor).

I can't believe you black-barred your boobs. HA!!!!!!

One of your bests posts. I love how you go from one subject right into another. And your photographic evidence? Epic. Like that last photo... your face is priceless!
I've been working out consistently for the past 8 months, which has been amazing, but I still find so many things hard. I couldn't imagine using those crazy weird weight things...

Abbey said...

bahaha. Just laughed for a long time at the censored boobage. And now Pat is laughing at me.

Anonymous said...

I probably laugehed at this end picture for about 10 minutes!!! You are hilarious and rock the boobage!

Unknown said...

HAHAHA! Random neighbor in the photo is awesome! AS is your crawling pic... ;)

Mia @ The Chronicles of Chaos said...

I've taken like 4 years off from exercising! BALLS! Judging from your expression, I don't think I want to exercise again, ever. I can deal with being fat. Right?!
