Day 1; I FELL… right in the middle of the gym where everyone could see me!!
I suppose my long journey to redemption must start with me admitting to myself that ‘I am powerless’ and ‘grossly unfit!’… [so there… I am powerless and very unfit!]
It all started well enough, the instructor threw me on something that made me hike about 3km, I burnt a total of about 200 calories on that one… easy peasy! [sweating aside I was a good sport and took it quite well].
I don’t think the instructor who I shall from now on call Mr. Pain (sado-masochist was too long!), decided to put me on a bike, as my luck would have it the idiot set it on the bloody Swiss Alps or something, coz you go downhill easy cycling then up a freaking steep mountain [now that was painful, I must av torn a ligament or something!]…
After 4km and another 300 calories [all I could think of was deep fried chicken and chips! Heck I’d earned it!!!] I was exhausted… he then put me on this sitting gismo [it looked like those medieval torture contraptions used to stretch people till they tear into two!], I like sit-ups, they’re easy for me usually…but not today. That fool pushed me so hard, it reached a point I could hear my intestines huddling together in fear and pain.
WALK OF SHAME, as I got off the thing, I slipped, and fell… [my left foot had taken too much, so as soon as it hit the ground, it slipped right off the floor, I nearly sat butt first on some ka chic… am not entirely sure if she wouldn’t have minded? …lol]
Rather than feel sorry for myself, I took it with humility and grace [okay I run into the steam bath and hid there till everyone had gone! …lol, kidding, I said my sorrys, made sure I didn’t explain to anyone, then made a b-line for the steam bath]…
As I walked back to the showers from the steam bath I couldn’t help but notice everyone staring at me, turns out they stare at everyone half naked in a towel… PERVS! [& here I was thinking I was special….lol].
As I took that cold shower and washed off my fatigue all I could think was, I can’t wait to do it all over again tomorrow… I may be weak physically, and not in shape, but I have the brain power and will power the size of a freaking tsunami…and am not about to let anything distract me. [Well at least not for this month..]
As for socializing, am still finding my feet [in simple terms, they all scare me..! In the bar, am right in my element, over here it’s like friggn’ Jumanji… Now I know what Paris Hilton feels like when she is in chemistry class]…
