I need to exercise more. I know that. But as my mother likes to say, knowing and doing are two different things. Recently however, I have been managing to get myself to exercise… kinda. A few lunges here, a few bicep curls there, a trip to the gym every now and then… here’s the problem: I keep hurting myself. I went for a bike ride, hurt my bum, and walked funny for a week. It was excruciating, by the way. And then on Thursday, I decided to do lunges until I could barely stand, and what do you know, I’ve been barely able to stand ever since.
It used to be easier, I think.
There were machines that did all the heavy lifting for you.
All you needed to Feel Good! and Look Great! was Debbie Drake on the hi-fi and some wall-to-wall carpeting.
And if all else failed…
Apparently tapeworms have “no ill effects!” and are “friends for a fair form”. Also, “easy to swallow”? WHAT? At least put them in a capsule or something, my goodness. I’m surprised they didn’t market cholera as some sort of “cleanse”.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to infect myself with tapeworms. I had amoebic dysentery once, which was more than enough to convince me that parasite-free is the way to be. But I would like to buy a bike, with a nice WIDE seat to accomodate my bootylicious behind. Maybe an old-school Schwinn.
Who’s the scarier ginger, this kid or Carrot Top?
ok, i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks that exercise will harm them. i went to the gym and i kept hurting myself, the worst was lifting 5 lb weights off the ground and pulling a nerve and being bed ridden, dr's note and all for ten days. that bike does look pretty nice except that ad is a bit creepy with ginger boy!
