Sky's The Limit

My brother Sky is carless right now (he sold his car to fund a European honeymoon for 5 months), so sometimes he is subject to the whims of those of us with cars.

Last night he was my burden. He gets along well with my trainer, so I took him along with me. After enough mocking and cajoling, we convinced him to do circuits with me.

He kept up pretty well.

We talked about:

-tartar sauce flavored edible underwear
-restaurants that make you shit your pants
-shitting your pants in general


The Workout

x2
20 kb swings (20kg)

x5
1 minute bike
10 deadlifts (95lbs)
10 chest press (two 35lb dbs)
10 squat and rows
10 (per side) step ups
10 curls (two 15lb dbs)
1 minute treadmill (7-8mph)

x3
partner planks with 25 hand slaps
15 per side one leg foot touch crunches.

By the end of it, Sky left a sweat shadow.



"Hang on Sky, I have to take a picture of my sweat."



"And, um, the sweat on my...back?"



On the way home we stopped by a side of the road taco truck. "I'd like, um...twenty tacos."

"For here or to go?"

Apparently taco truck guy thought I was going to sit there and eat 20 tacos.

No. I was splitting them with Sky and my husband. I worked out hard, but not 20 tacos hard. Just 6 or 7 tacos hard. Side of the road tacos are the best. I love southern California.

  1. I miss side-of-the-road shrimp in Louisiana. "I'll pick up some shrimp on the way home, at a red light, from a fisherman/hobo."

  3. God I miss truck tacos. There was this place on the sketchy outskirts of the Gateway mall in Salt Lake City where I had my first lengua tacos. I never thought I could love a taco so much. I miss that taco stand.

    And I've totally had 20 taco workouts. Not that I ever make it to 20, but I know there are days where it feels like I could.

  5. Damn. Fucking Irvine doesn't do taco trucks.

    I'm going to have to drive up there for Popeyes and taco trucks.

  6. He worked out in jeans?!?!? LOL!

    Did you guys find it ironic at all that you talked about restaurants that make you shit your pants and then bought roadside taco's?

    Tagged you on my blog today if you're interested! Happy Friday!

  7. Sky sounds just like me. I would sell off tons of stuff to go on a European vacation. Yes I would!

    We have a place here called Carraba's. It's Italian and it makes me shit my pants. Too much cream on everything.

    I live in a super hispanic state and we have tons of taco wagons here too! It's what we eat while we watch football games on the weekends :)

  8. I love Taco trucks! I really wish we had some here in Colorado! I do hit them when I am in San Diego on business though! Always the best part of the trip!

    As always love the sweaty pictures!

  10. I'd totally talk my brother into partaking in my workout. Although I would probably do it because I'd consider the entertainment payment for the transportation! ;)
