Brah, I am so stoked!

Have you ever noticed kids these days have their own language… ‘Brah, I am so stoked, just hit a knarley jump… yard sale dawg!’

Excuse me??

‘Brah’…are boys wearing bras now? a new fashion? ‘Stoked’, have you been playing with fire? Last I knew, a ‘yard sale’ is “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure”, and ‘Dawg’, whose dog? did it bite someone?…

Isn’t it true that we all have our own little languages? I’m sure anyone who reads my bootcamp blogs and has never been to Bootcamp, scratch their head and think I’m ready for a straight jacket… well I am ready for a straight jacket… but, you understand what I’m talking about.
Lets see… Bootcamp-isms….

‘It feels awesome’ – when in fact if we have to do any more, we are going to collapse.

‘Let it marinate’ – gotta love Sven this is his way to say rest, when we can’t even twitch our finger.

’10 seconds down’– I want to hurt Sven because I think we’ve been at it way more than 10 seconds and we have 30+ more to go!

How about ‘Julie’s stretch’, truth be known Julie doesn’t even like this one! it’s the taffy pull one, you are the taffy.

‘Stephanie’s Stretch’ equates to the 50’s moviestars posing on the beach (bent knee, stretch, wave) we just need the big sunglasses and the bufont hairdo.

We have ‘butt busters’, ‘amazing abs’, ‘plankity plank planks’ = Pain, pain, and more pain!

We have gone so far as to label the days… Marvelous Mondays! Terrific Tuesdays! Woohoo Wednesdays! Thrilling Thursdays! and yeh! FUN FRIDAYS!…

And Finally, my favorite ‘MAKE IT HAPPEN’– Dean and Nancy’s polite way of kicking us in our behinds… ok, so it means with a little bit of effort on our part, we can achieve anything we want!

… see you tomorrow for an extra Fun Friday.

Blog you later.
