Second session at the gym. Are you impressed? Amazed? Gobsmacked? (I typed that as "Godsmacked" which is an interesting concept!) I would be any of the above if I could feel anything but the pain! Actually, to my utter amazement I don't ache too much.... yet. Wait until the day after tomorrow, then I'll be moaning!
Today things were stepped up a bit. Not only did I have to do the treadmill, bike and rower of last time (in a slightly faster time, I'll have you know!), this time I was introduced to the four machines which are designed to inflict grave torture on my legs, arms, chest and ... oh my.. my stomach. Apparently I have to do them at a level such that after 14 of the 16 repetitions in a set I begin to feel that I'm never going to manage the last two. I asked whether it was acceptable to feel that after the first repetition, and was given a very dirty look by my instructor!
This afternoon I'm going to settle myself down with the ironing board and watch Morse on TV while working my way through the ironing mountain. That should burn off a few more calories. Yesterday I nearly burnt off more than a few calories by doing the ironing - this time I'll remember to CHECK I'VE TURNED THE IRON OFF when I finish!
Now, can I face venturing out into the torrential rain and blustery gales to post a letter to eldest son? He needs phone money too, which means a trip to the post office to get a postal order (Stupid nana spent all his pocket money on new boxer shorts instead of getting the ones I'd bought him out of his property box. Honestly, he continues to drive me insane, even from a distance!)
