Ok - so I have to make this fast. I am currently working for the week at a camp as a chaplain for the staff and kids, but I promised I would bring Jillian with me so I could keep up with the whole exercise thing. So, I snuck away from the campers this morning and got my video out, inserted it into my Mac and clicked "play". That's when I discovered the things I forgot to pack. "Pick up your hand weights", Jillian says. Oops. No hand weights. That's ok, because I remembered to pack Mountain Dew with me... I just grabbed a couple of cans and put them to work as hand weights. "Ok! Get to the mat for our abs workout", Jillian says. Oops. No mat. That's ok because this room happens to be carpeted. Of course, it's about 50 years old and God only knows what kinds of critters are living and dying in it. "Ok! Time for jumping jacks", Jillian says. Crap. I forgot to pack a sports bra and I don't want to soil my good bras with sweat. That's ok, I'll just go commando.
That, my friends, was where everything went wrong. Now I understand the phrase "that's when everything went south". Don't go global on me and interpret that phrase to mean that the Southern parts of the world are all wrong. I am just talking about things that used to be up are now down, or things that used to be higher are now lower. Thats all I'm saying.
I wonder if this camp has any duct tape I can borrow.

ReplyDeleteMarla. You go girl! So proud of you! And, as always, you crack me up. Hey, I think you should add a little running into your exercise regime. Once you get comfortable doing 3 miles at a time, pick a race in SC (we are moving to Charleston SC in two weeks!) and come visit me as a vacation reward. I will cheer lead for you either by your side or on the side of the course! I will even buy you a running bra (think Walmart - duck tape... ouch). I miss you girl! robin
ReplyDeleteJill - I wish I was a fly on the wall in your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteRobin - I feel like I am working my way up to running, but I have terrible feet and my left knee constantly feels like it's going to collapse under me. I tried physical therapy in the past but it was too time consuming and easier to fix by discontinuing the exercising. Grrr.
do you remember when I went commando once at school? and my boobs itched all day?
ReplyDelete... learn from me my friend, it's no fun.
Proud of you, sis! ;)
Grace - that was the best day EVER! Western Seminary will never be the same :)
