EXERCISE!!!
OK so tennis is back. I do not understand why with all the hours I spent watching the tennis champions I didn't learn a bit more and put those winning shots into a well planned and executed game. Still for some reason I didn't hit the ball like Fedderer!!!!!!!!! Still it was good to be back, I played reasonably well and we only lost by 2 games so it wasn't a thrashing.... Still I don't think I will be getting called up this season to play in the Veterans comp at Wimbledon.
Then inspired by Sues post last week to get on with it without excuses and then shamed by M's weekly exercise plan, I decided I needed to get back into my exercise. I hadn't exercised for 10 days for a variety of reasons, too tired, too hot, couldn't find the time with the long hrs I was working,too much tennis to watch, too lazy...in other words no valid excuse. I set my alarm for 5.20 with the best of intentions. Then had a long, long night with little sleep due to TTOM cramping and associated problems. The alarm went off and I turned it off and tried to sleep. Feeling ashamed of myself for not getting up I went tonight to the gym. Did my weight training and then a rebound class.
However all that jumping around on a trampoline is not ideal if you are having menstrual problems. While jumping I had a problem and had to race to the toilet. I had no more supplies with me so went to the desk to ask the girl if I could borrow some. A man was on duty. So I asked for my keys to get something from the car. We couldn't find them. Told him they had a long blue neck chain attached and we could not see them. The girl came over and looked for where she had put them... I asked her for something to use and she snuck me something. Said we would look for the keys later so I could get back to the class. After the class I realised the keys that we couldn't find were not my keys on a long blue neck chain...Dh had used the car and taken the chain off...So we had been looking for the wrong thing and my keys were there all along. Feeling an idiot I went to the supermarket to get some supplies for work. I was dripping with perspiration and feeling spaced out from that unfamiliar exercise when this creepy man tried to make jokes with me about what I could do with the "pistols " I was buying and that were pointing at him from the counter. (cleaning bottles with triggers)Not impressed!! My sense of humour was long gone. Paid for the supplies and then walked out , you guessed it without the car keys. What a bimbo!!!
So is exercise really worth it or will it just turn me into a brainless, cranky, ...I can't think of any more adjectives ...
I have given myself a good talking to tonight.. I need to exercise because when I don't I feel bad, then I eat bad, lose energy, get cranky and so on. I need to make the time even though I am busy, find the energy even though I am tired. SO for the next 10 days I am going to bore you all with a post each night of my exercise for the day. No need to comment, unless I don't post any exercise and then feel free to send me a swift quick. 10 days with no exercise created a habit of laziness so hopefully 10 days of exercise will give me back my old habit of loving exercise.
