Last night I turned to hubby, and in all seriousness informed him that I wanted a personal trainer. At first he didn't believe me but when he finally realised that I meant it he was shocked to the core. I am really very low maintenance. I have my hair cropped every 10 weeks and I dye it whatever colour happens to be on special. I don't like shopping for clothes, it depresses me. I had a manicure once and decided that it was a waste of money, I could do a better job. Daughter does my eyebrows for me and I shave or wax myself dependant on how masochistic I feel at the time. I have never had membership to a gym. Hubby is unused to the concept of me employing someone to attempt to improve any part of me, or do any job for me, so he cannot believe that I would entertain the idea of paying someone to make me be energetic, and telling me what to eat.
Today I went and booked someone for their midwifery care, and guess what her husband is, yes that's right, he's a personal trainer. What an amazing co-incidence, it has to be a sign. Someone is trying to tell me that this is the direction I should be going in. I havn't dared ask, yet, what he charges, but I'm seeing his wife again in two weeks so I shall then. I'm so sad that I'm really excited about this. It's just what I need, an external conscience that forces me into activity. Someone encouraging me to improve my fitness. What am I saying - "improve my fitness", "get fit" is the truth of the matter, I am a mass of shrunken muscle and enlaged sub-cutaneous fat just wobbling away waiting for a mentor.
On the subject of shrunken muscle - GET JASON OUT. When he sat there the other night and asked Becki (trollope) to talk like a 17 year old, and pretend that she was wearing a school uniform, I had to hold myself very tightly because my skin was busy crawling away across the carpet. The man is not a basic life form emerging from the slime, he is the slime.

(4.7.04 09:50) Mine is so wobbly I will be flapping in the breeze soon LOL |

(4.7.04 13:12) It's only a problem if your thighs make "thwack thwack schlap" noises as you walk. |
