Personal Training

Just to start with today, there is no Bert the Builder update - I know you will all be devastated to hear this.  I must admit that there was a certain amount of intrepidation which accompanied me on my journey home....slightly concerned I might get home and find some gifts left on the doorstep..... however, am pleased to report today seems to have passed without any events, in that respect anyway.....................................

I did however see PT.  Started seeing PT when toss pot shoved off.  Men make you fat.  There is no other explanation.  I was at the peak of my weight during the 2011 holiday and knew I needed to do something about it but could not seem to find the effort.  However, marriage ended (world did not) and a time for change and all that.

Big fan of PT.  Love to hate him.  He hurts me and pushes me but we see results.

So I went today but had also been yesterday.  Have never done back to back days before..... and now I know why..... O.M.L

There was not one part of my body which was not screaming at me all the way through that.

Was concerned that there may be a treadmill incident, we were running (yes, I can sort of do that..... in a fashion) and my leg started to cramp, could have been a disaster - you know the sort where I collapse on the treadmill but the treadmill is still going and so it shoots me off the back and I land face down, bum up.... - anyway, did not happen, managed to persevere.

So came home, well tried to.  It seems they are digging half of town up and so I had to drive round the outside of town just to get to my house.

had a small car incident on the back - will come to that in a minute.

So walked in, all proud that I was still standing from two days of hell and then went into the kitchen to find something for dinner, knee buckled. Just squealed and fell into a heap on the floor....... elegant.

Suspect may spend rest of week crawling about and making "ah" noises when I try to sit or stand.  Sitting or standing very overrated.

So the car, a day cannot pass without incident.  I was thinking to myself earlier today how it is completely amazing that I have not sponged it when trying to get on and off the drive.  The drive is very tight and cars always park opposite so you have to get the swing right or it all goes wrong.

Guess what. That did not happen tonight.  Oops.  Stupid wall.  Maybe Bert could come and take it down for me .......

While we are on the subject, I have some very supportive friends - you know who you are - who have done nothing but mock me over the Bert situation.  Latest theory is Pheromones.  Apparently I must be giving them off in abudance.  Looked up exactly what they are:

is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting outside the body of the secreting individual to impact the behavior of the receiving individual

OK, I don't remember doing that...... How do I turn it off???
