Day 23 - Exercise maven

Last night was all about exercise.  I was sitting in the lobby and here comes this very short woman who had a cart full of mats and balls.  I wasn't paying that much attention, just noticing how short she was when they called her name.

Now this woman, was very short, but everything else was in proportion.  Did I mention she was very short?  Maybe 4'10.  The reason I keep bringing this up is I don't remember her being so short.  TH and I had met her when we went to try the personal nutritionist.  She had done the intake, and we both really liked her.  She was the physical guru and the other one was the nutritionist.    

When I realized where she was from I got really embarrassed because we had discussed with the nutritionist how this was not what I wanted to do.  The nutritionist felt it wasn't the best program and told us to follow her diet plan and I could lose 4 pounds a month.  So here I was not taking the nutritionist advice and I don't know how that translated to the other one, but it did.

She recognized me and it was all downhill after that.

While we were doing exercises we were suppose to do this chair exercise but you needed both sides of the armrest so I got up to let the person next to me do it and she saw me standing there and told me to come sit by her.  I said no I didn't want to look like the teachers pet.  I think I hurt her feelings.

Seguing  into the next topic, T and I did go for our walk yesterday, I wanted to walk for an 1.5, but we ended up only walking 1 hour.  I could have done the full 1.5 hour, but dingleberry here started to foam at the mouth and I got all worried that she was going to pass out.  I didn't bring any water with me so she just got way too thirsty.  I am thinking of maybe carrying a camelback, so carrying the water won't be so hard on my shoulder and I should be able to carry more water that way.  In Candlestick they have these stations along the way to do similar strength exercises.  I haven't done strength exercises  ever, so this should be very interesting!!!

Please note I did not do what many do and say seguing smoothly - do I know my vocab or what.

Til tomorrow.

  1. The program with the nutritionish & trainer did not work either for T or TH, so don't beat yourself up - her program was too complicated & it backfired for both of us. TH gets being embarrassed, but it's not necessary. If you want to apologize to her, OK, but add the caveat that the program didn't work for you.

    You make a great teacher's pet (this from TH your former teacher).

    TH will loan you a Camelback - gulp
