Back to the Gym.....part 3,000 (in theatres soon!)
219.5 lbs. :oP
Felt kinda sorry for my self today. I couldn't seem to get up the energy to go to the gym ,or walk, or do anything. It doesn't help that I am on day 2 and feel like a waterlogged yak with 100lb. weights tied to each hoof (try a visual for that one!) My sweet hubby did everything he could to try and convice me that life was not all that bleak...but to no avail. I was deeply entrenched in a vat of pity that might as well have been quicksand, when suddenly, he said something so unexpected that in suprise, the vat of pity relaxed it's deadly grip just long enough for me to escape it's evil clutches. What did he say, you ask? Well my sweet, dear , darling husband opened his mouth and uttered, "would you like me to go to the gym with you?" Yes, you heard right! In the past, I have asked him to just try going to the gym with me, you know, so we could have something we could do together, and get fit and healthy and motivate each other at the same time. These requests have always been met with a polite but firm "no thanks, gyms are just not my thing" and the subject was closed. So when he offered to go with me today, I had to jump at the opportunity! We did about 15 minutes of warm up on the treadmill, then we did the upper body circuit (2 sets, 12 reps) and then finished off with 30 more minutes on the treadmill. We actually had a pretty good time, and my mood was considerably improved with the exercise and the time spent with Paul. To top it all off, we had dinner at The Organic Garden Cafe, a vegetarian restaurant across the street from the gym....let me give you a hint.....chicken burgers are about as vegetarian as Paul gets....he actually had a brownie and a rootbeer, but I had a black bean and vegi wrap and a cup of peppermint tea! MMMMMM! We got home just in time for Paul to go to work (he works 7pm till 3am) , so James and I watched a DVD that Gauwyn lent us: Feints and Fakes by Duke Finn, very educational...
Anyways, enough blabbing....time for bed now!
Bou :o)
