So sorry, vH, but I managed to drink my way through the entire stupor bowl and completely forgot about joining your challenge. Ugh.
I did, however, go for a lovely hike earlier in the day. And I did eat some veggies from the tray. Too much food, though.
Attention Super Bowl Challengers! There were five eligible challengers who completed the infamous Super Bowl Challenge of 2011. They squatted as they cheered, wrestled rival fans, ate healthy snacks while doing pushups and did sit ups while their friends sat on the couch. Though their collective feats should not go unrecognized, only one challenger can be declared the champion. And so, by a random drawing of names, I congratulate Sila S. on becoming the winner of the Super Bowl Challenge 2011 and the recipient of an unbelievably soft organic cotton Social Workout t-shirt! Three cheers for Sila, and many congratulations to the other challengers, who boldly went where no sports fan has gone before.
I did not know what I was walking into on Sunday when I arrived at the gym. I thought I would do a quick jog and one class. Little did I know I was in for three hours of exhausting fun. I arrived at 8 because I couldn't sleep. After four miles on the treadmill, my undershirt was soaked, but the rest of me was still dry. That quickly changed during bosu. I was legit dripping sweat off the tip of my nose. The instructor's high energy is so contagious though that I didn't care – and I just kept going.
After class I tried to slink past Esperanto, who teaches hip hop right after bosu, but he caught me! After listening to me whine about how I was tired, hungry and soaked he said I could go, but I would regret it next week when I didn't know what was going on because he was starting a new routine. I didn't care, I was too hungry. But apparently, I did care because as I reached for my locker I decided to go back to hip hop. I declared Esperanto the worst guilt-tripper ever and found a spot in the second row. I'm glad I stayed and I'm glad there are instructors like Esperanto who take time to get to know their students.
Technically my wrestling was done with my 2 year old son, but I have to count it since I wasn't going to wrestle with my 85 year old grandpa (who we watched the game with).
BTW, when the Pack stopped the Steelers 4th down attempt at the end, I promptly burst into tears and my whole body went limp... Apparently I didn't realize how tightly wound I was for the last 3+ hours.
The challenge is over! Here we are, the morning after the Super Bowl, licking the last of the Doritos crumbs from our friend's fingers and wondering why there is a receipt in our inbox for joanriversismymom.co from GoDaddy.com. While our memories of last night may be blurry, our glutes, biceps and obliques remain strong. Don't fret if you're so two thousand and late - you have until the end of today to log your stats and tomorrow we'll announce the winner. Even though we probably can't get Usher to fly from the sky to make the announcement, it will be triumphant nonetheless.
I had to stand on the sidelines of the Super Bowl challenge due to recurrence of the evil back situation. I was cheering for everyone though, and I didn't take it sitting down. I called a wise elder, and deployed serious pharmaceuticals. These cause me to nap through the first half. None of it is proud, but sometimes we just have to fight through the curveballs. Onward!
so, I accompanied a steeler loving fan to an authentic Steeler's bar to watch the big game after a great four mile run. I did my sit-ups after the run with fear of having to get down on the grimey bar floor and possibly be trampled on. I danced through the entire half time show and sang along to four songs...America the Beautiful, Star Spangled Banner, half time show, and the steeler's song. The ambience was intense with a lot of emotion, with bursts of anger....wrestling was OUT of the question, and push ups were incomplete as I did 25 at home but didn't get the last 25 in during the game. Square did not happen.
I do think I get extra
I watched the game, i'm counting the salad i had as my healthy snack, but i did not manage to do the pushups, situps, squats, or wrestling. i thought maybe if i start those earlier in the morning and do a couple every few hours they would get done, but that didn't happen. I took my little sister shopping in the morning, went to crunch fort greene straight from shopping, for AGY and ran from the class to super bowl party. I wanted to complete that challenge :(
So I finished Superbowl Challenge XLV challenge, but I feel totally guilty about it. Since kickoff wasn't until 2:30AM my time, I watched Saturday night's UFC 126 instead of football. Sadly, there is no photographic evidence. Also, no one won during the wrestling, but I think I put up a good show, being almost half his size and managing to pin him. His secret move was to try and tickle me. I mean come on, you're 300 pounds and you have to resort to tickling?!? I'm not even ticklish! Luckily, no one got hurt.
I also haven't done any sit-ups since junior high, so I was pretty impressed with 50 although I'll stick to crunches of various sorts in the future.
I loved the challenge, and it was perfect for me since I hurt my hamstring and didn't want to do any cardio today. Thanks for this, vonHottie!
This is how three sassy single ladies watch the Super Bowl. At halftime we dance. In between quarters we do squats. Situps are for field goals. Pushups happen during commercials. Wrestling occurs over the end of the prosecco bottle.
