Remember in my last blog I told you I'd be pumping up on the exercise this week and glassing up on the water...Well my world fell apart when I stepped into our home gym on Saturday last. What greeted me was the sight of mass devastation. If ever a girl had an excuse to stay away from the gym! My beloved teddy bear Belinda was eaten alive by a rodent or dare I say rodent with an 's'. I like to think there is just one running around our garage gym. Poor Belinda was lying there with her sponge guts all over the place. They had started with her leg and made their way up to her belly. I wouldn't mind but that teddy bear has been with me for more than 23 years. In fact she was very sentimental to me and in the major de-cluttering job I rufused to let her go. When I travelled to Waterford with the Guinness Company all those years ago, Kevin got her for me to keep me company while I was away from home. Belinda's demise is surely the end of an era!
Yes! that was the end of the gym I told Kevin until the bloody rodents were zapped! He has a zapper machine which electrocutes the rat in seconds. The rat is gone before he realizes he's dead and it's all very clean. Anyway to cut a long story short, the home gym has been given a miss for a few days until it gets cleaned out and deemed same for human use.
Not being one to shirk responsibility, I grabbed two 5 lb. weights from the gym and decided to do my chip trail walk holding one in each hand. I wasn't going to let the rats get the better of me. Armed with the weights and listening to Irish rebel songs on my I-pod, nothing could step in my way. I was so exhausted after my walk, I didn't do it for another 3 days!! My shoulders and arms were aching SO much. Still I DID try! Kevin is doing brilliantly with the exercise and is now an expert. He has promised faithfully to put me on a program if we tidy up the gym together this weekend. I'll keep you posted!
Love ya,
