a little background first... or foreplay to the story
i am a misplaced Michigander, having met (5 years ago), moved (last year), and married (6 months after the move) a man native to Austria.
also it had been years since i worked out. had an accident back in "99" which shut the door for me for quite awhile. dabbled here and there in hopes of establishing a routine once again. ( the gym at one time had been a very important part of my life.) but nothing solid until this past January when i treated myself to a membership!
so here's what happened to me my first day outta the gate.........
i'm huffin, i'm puffin, i'm pushin and liftin. i made my plan and stickin to it! i was shocked at how weak i got! i couldnt believe it. i could feel the burn so bad by the time i finished my last set of reps it wasnt funny. i didnt go into this Blonde. i knew there would be repercussions from not working out for so long........ but jiminies!
when i came home i was so beat and tired. i pinged ( puter term for messaged) my hubby to see what his day looked like and when he would be home for lunch and of course.......... whine a lil and get some soothing sympathy love and what does that darling sweet Man do but start laughing at me!!
boyyyyyyyyyyy this was not the response i had expected! the meanie ......so i ask him whats so funny? and he re-enlightens me on weights & measurements. i am still to tired to comprehend what he is saying ....... finally it dawns on me..... i wasnt lifting Pounds but lifting Kilo's! here i am beating myself up mentally and physically and thinkin what a wimp i have become.
it just never occured to me. i had gotten in there and it looks so much like a Gym at home but with different words.
sincerely,
sassy who has had her First Official Blonde Moment of the Year!!
