My workout from hell

With the army ball fast approaching I decided I needed to take some type of serious attitude toward working off some of my fat. It seems the only exercise I enjoy is doing a sit-up to flip my pillow to the cool side and really that needs to change. So I enlisted the help of SSG Nicole Powell, who trains the fat overweight soldiers. Nicole came over, all 95 pounds of her, with a written exercise plan for me to follow for the next 6 weeks. She also assured me that if I stuck to the plan and watched what I ate I would lose one size by June 16th and fit into my dresses.

I would just like to say that I am not going to meet my goals following this plan because instead I am going to be dead.
