If a dark shadow passed over your soul yesterday, causing you to shudder for reasons unknown - let me enlighten you. It's because I didn't do my crunches yesterday. You see, it got late...I started watching The Biggest Loser and drinking a Coke - I got tired...I went to bed. I figured, who's gonna notice that I didn't post to this blog on Tuesday.
Well, you noticed.
I attended a funeral today for my aunt's sister. I got to see cousins that I never see unless I'm getting married, and meet a special cousin that I haven't seen since she was 5 (and she didn't remember first meeting me, can you believe it!). At this funeral, what do I hear from various family members? "Tina, wonderful to see you! I've been reading your blog! You are getting behind!" Even my dear, sweet Aunt Gaye, who's never said a critical word to me in 41 years, says "I enjoy your blog. You haven't posted anything since Saturday." I've not only let down a nameless, faceless mob of readers; I have even failed Aunt Gaye.
So I came home tonight, ate a brownie, and did my crunches. Tonight: 12-15-11-11-14. I'm fudging on that last "14", because realistically, #14 was more of a chin-bob than a crunch. But I was supposed to do 15 on that set, so I'm taking it.
we are at:
Daily count: 63
Month to Date: 177
And, yes, I'm rather starting to feel it. As I was sprawled out on the floor, I was reminded of a Far Side cartoon I saw years ago. It showed a bunch of dogs standing around in a yard, and they were all saying "Hey! Hey! Hey!" The caption was something like, "the English translation of barking." When I hit that last set, my abs started saying, "hey! Hey! HEY!" just like those dogs. Since I was a day late, this means I have to do more crunches tomorrow...HEY!! HEY!!! In fact, as I sit here now with my laptop, my back is already tightening up.
Aging sucks.
I have informed William that I WILL be getting a membership to the Y and going to do 'my thing' in the mornings on Tu-TH and every other Monday.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I didn't tell him about my appt with a hypnotherapist to implant in my pea brain the fact (& fear) that I will ABSOLUTELY DIE if I don't go to the Y like I am supposed to.
They even have Zumba classes. How do you like that??
Kas - that is absolutely the most awesome thing I've ever heard.
ReplyDeleteRe-meeting you yesterday was such a joy! I am so glad we got a chance to talk, and stab the life out of sandwiches together. We've got to find a way to hang out more. You're awesome! Love you!
ReplyDeletePs. I'm really glad to see a blog from you again. :)
