Working On Working Out
I’ve decided that I need to do a little something good for myself and set on getting back into shape. I know that at my age, gravity is not my friend. Now that I’m over 40, things droop a whole lot more than they did 10 years ago. So, I’ve decided to eat better and am going to try to exercise. I stress the word “try” because at my age, it’s not a good idea to guarantee anything. Let me explain.
So, this morning I decided to put my plan into effect. I have this little stair stepper thing that I use once in a while. I got it out and put it right next to my bed. No problem. But one of my biggest problems is the little mommy pooch I have. And, I know that the only way I’m going to overcome that is by doing sit-ups. So, I got down on the floor, and OMG. When the hell did the floor get so far down and why the hell did it hurt so bad to simply sit up. I did 25 sit-ups and I thought I was going to hurl. I am not a large woman by any sense of the meaning, but What The Hell!!!!!
I know that if I keep at it, it won’t be such a big deal, but that whole first time thing sucks. I’ll keep going, whether I like it or not, and hopefully I’ll be a little more graceful. Oh hell, who am I kidding, I’ve never been a graceful woman before, and it ain’t gonna happen now. But, if I can still fit into my jeans, I’ll at least know I did something good for myself.
