STAND STILL
17 01 2007With all the socializing and the ever lingering cold, I fell off the gym wagon during the month of December. I jumped back in the first week of January though and was doing really well. I went every day and sometimes even twice a day (noon yoga class). Now, thanks to the weather, I’m back to not going at all.
For the past three days the drive to work that usually takes about fifteen minutes has taken any where from thirty to forty-five minutes. What looks like a pristine layer of snow is really a very thick layer of ice. Your feet do not sink into it; instead you slide around on top of it. The major street we live off of hasn’t even been plowed. I think they sprinkled some sand on the road when it hit on Saturday, but that’s about it.
In the mean time, we skate. We skate outside to put the dog in the back yard. We skate to and from the car and through the parking lots of Ace Hardware and Wal-Mart. We skate or risk falling on our asses and at my age, I could break a hip.
Excuse me, at your age. And God knows you won’t have anyone to take care of you when you do break a hip.
No, the real problem is that I’d have too many people taking care of me with mom at stage center holding the pillow that will eventually suffocate me.
Be careful, m’dear.
At your age. Luckily you’re not as old as me! OH wait, now it makes sense why you were complaining about your hip bothering you this afternoon. It was future hip arthritis to be post replacement pain!!
Now I completely understand. Hey, hopefully, next week we’ll be back in the exercise/yoga saddle again! If my kids would ever go back to school, that is!!!!
Cindy, you can stand not to go to the gym for a few weeks if you’re spending all this time skating. Isn’t skating–even if it’s in a pair of running shoes across a parking lot–supposed to be good exercise? Ha ha ha.
Speaking of age!!! Happy day to you. I made it to yoga this morning. It was one of those plank all day days, so my arms are KILLING me tonight.
Happy day, again. Hope you had a good one. And we didn’t get 6 or 12 inches of snow. Maybe just maybe my kids will go back to school.
