I GET NO RESPECT!
This is Gingerbean. She is my 2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. 
This is the Leslie Sansone Fat Burner Walk-2miles DVD that I found in the tv cabinet. It had never been opened. Go figure. Gingerbean and Leslie both have great big smiles. 
This is me beginning my workout with Leslie. This is Gingerbean...not amused. 
Know what corgis were bred to do? They were bred to be herding dogs. They bark. They nip. She circled me and barked for the first 10 minutes.
Gingerbean is NOT.A.FAN. of Leslie.
This is about the time where the blood was draining from my head at a rapid rate of speed and I thought I would pass out but kept moving. I was afraid I would step on her and squish her. Silly me thinking I could out wait her. Then I realized that Bebo (my son) was filming with his phone. At least Bebo was not barking.
I made them BOTH cease and desist.
This is Gingerbean on the couch behind me as I am still walking and lunging and gasping and sweating. She got embarrassed at the sight of my butt and hid her face. 
Then she laughed. Heartily...without mercy. 
She and Leslie can just wipe the smiles off of their faces.....I see NOTHING to be amused about!
I went the entire 2 miles with Leslie WITHOUT Gingerbean's help.
Tonight I will do it again....without an audience. I swear.
.......needs to dress better to work out if she is going to post pictures!! ~grins~

Can't stop laughing. So awesome!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Mindy! Keep on walking! Ignore all distractions!
ReplyDeleteGingerbean had never seen me do that Rachel. LOL
ReplyDeleteI so wanted to Annie...I really did.
ReplyDeleteI liked my exercise tape I used to lose a lot of weight. Joanie Gregains. I can still remember all the songs and what she said after 20 years. It all comes back to me...including 20 of the 35 lbs. I am back on the treadmill thanks to your inspiration. No exercise tape this time. I just read on the iPhone kindle app. Good luck to you and the little ankle-biter.
ReplyDeleteLOL. That was funny!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly thought that it was Steph. HA!
ReplyDeleteCynthia you have done great! I laughed at the *all comes back to me* part!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job getting a workout in despite the distractions!!
ReplyDeleteMaria

Any excuse I can find will work. I love the canteen thing you use to pack your lunch.. I am goign to get one of those! You are an inspiration.. I think I can do this.. I think I can. I think I can... lol.

ReplyDelete~LJ
LJ she is just a crazy little dog.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a GREAT 2 Miles. You should be very proud of yourself. I love how you related to us your experience with pictures and commentary!
ReplyDeleteJimmy you are such an awesome encourager. Especially since I know that 2 miles is NOTHING to you!
ReplyDeleteCindy that dog NEVER SITS STILL! LOL...thank you!
ReplyDeleteI think Gingerbean is just really trying to be your workout partner! Go Gingerbean, work it girl! ha Oh yes, way to go Mindy!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! We were thinking about getting a herding dog... maybe we ought to train him that working out is okay? lol
ReplyDeleteI love the walking tape with Leslie Sansone, she is a really neat lady, I have a really old VHS tape called "walk away the pounds, it came with 3 tapes 1 mile, 2 miles and 3 miles and after a time I was up to the 3 mile tape, actually I really liked it and I had to get my cat used to it like you and Gingerbean!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny that you were being taped and Yes no audience tonight!
Keep up the good work Mindy!
Joyce
Thank you Joyce! I would love to work up to 3 miles. I like this DVD and it made me sweat. LOL...at first I typed swear.
ReplyDeleteYes Jeannette! You must or the dog will try to herd you back to the couch.
ReplyDeleteYea on two miles! I'm a big fan of walking with scenery though - I go WAY farther when I have something to keep my mind off of the fact that I'm exercising. Truly - even if its hot sweaty men riding bikes by me on the trail.....
ReplyDeleteBut I'd take Gingerbean as my exercise partner.
Me too Dijea but it was just so incredibly hot here. I thought that this was at least the next best thing!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh this post is so freakin hilarious!!!! You made my day :) Great job on the w/o!
ReplyDeleteMy cat waits outside my exercise room door and meows until its ab work time and then she comes in and joins in the fun (aka lays on her fatness & watches me amused).
Thanks Lindsey. That is too funny about your cat. My cats were no were to be found. I think the ruckus scared them off.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest dog! (i'm a sucker for a puppy)
ReplyDeleteAnd go you 2miles! can't wait for the days you out work her!
This is SO funny! It figures that you'd have 2 against you when you're trying to do your workout! I'd go with locking the both of them in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vanessamae! I love her to pieces!
ReplyDeleteBriana I wish I had a crate big enough to put my son in. I think he can find his way out of the kitchen....damned thumbs.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you Sis!!! Keep up the amazing work!!! I think GB was trying to tell you she was trying to help when she runs away and you have to chase her down. :D
ReplyDeleteI just laughed.... not at you but with you and GB.....tonight try the Julianna Hoff DVD, GB will want to do the ChaCha with you! Just watch.......get your dancing shoes out!
ReplyDeleteI am trying it tonight Ester!
ReplyDeleteHA! Yeah sure Jerry. Side with the dog.
ReplyDeleteYou should have posted the warning for the smile on the woman's face on the DVD! That's dang scary! Love the dogs!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Good think you weren't doing Tae Bo - poor little Ginger Bean would have been kicked all the way to China!
ReplyDelete~snickers~ Corgis are popular in China and Japan so she might have relatives there Adrienne!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up Ayekah!
ReplyDeleteGB cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the walking!
Gingerbean is SUCH a card! LOL
ReplyDeleteGetting started is the hardest part. I am inspired to dust off my Kathy Smiths!
Loved the Gingerbean episode. I walk to George Forman DVD's because poor George's knees are in such bad shape if he can keep it up so can I!!!
ReplyDeleteI call Leslie "Psycho bitch from hell" when I do the workout-I do the 3 mile and it is BRUTAL. Now Kathy Smith? She's my hero.
ReplyDeleteGB is so funny! Keep up the walking it does wonders!
