Wednesday Working Out

Hello darkness….my old friend…That is all I could see through the crack in the curtains this morning when I peeked out from under the covers. I heard Sherri in the bathroom getting ready for work and I said to myself I need to swing my legs out of bed and get dressed.

I did just that and could hear the bones in my legs cracking from the sudden movement. I have been diagnosed with Author Righteousness  in my knees lower back and shoulders…let me see that leaves my hands in good shape…thank God. I can still open a candy bar wrapper…not really I am watching my food intake. I just like to joke around about it.

I walk each day and try to keep my muscles and my body from freezing up. If I ever stop it could be curtains for this guy. Fulltiming will help me stay in shape more than sitting in an office all day long. I probably spend too much time on this computer and that is not good.

Today I found the fitness room down stairs and took a try out on the machines. They have a tread mill and a machine that looks like a Bow-Flex. I took a whirl on the machine and was almost hurled through the mirror on the other side of the room. I figured out that you have to set it to your strength level…which in my case is puny. You don’t pull on the machine and expect it to return slowly for your old body…it is like a sling shot…you pull it then it is loaded and then it shoots you back. OK so much for that…I think I will stick to walking.

The tread mill seemed much friendlier. I stepped up on it and read the panel before me. Slow..Fast..Faster.. Ludicrously Fast. Flat 4% 6% Wall climbing %. Now the combination to all this mean certain death if your not careful….and I am not known to be a careful person as many of you well know. Yes your correct I hit the Max Play button and…..the next few minutes…what seemed to be hours….was horrifying! I was actually running for my life…and it was passing before my eyes as I was running. I tried with all my might to let go of the bar in front of me so I could re-adjust the speed…but to no avail. I un-a**ed this nightmare…for no better word…and hit the off button once I could get my eyes to stop blinking. That is when I noticed the young lady behind me. She had a startled look on her face…and she had her thumb on her cell phone as though she was dialing 911. She asked if I was OK and I said why sure hone I do this every day…it is my way of knowing that I am still alive. I don’t think she saw me being shot out of the machine too. I know that I gave her something to tell all her friends at the club.

Well I got my towel…sucked in my gut…and wished her a good workout….strutted out like I had no problem in the world…turned pulled out the camera and took a picture of HELL made it to the elevator and then started crying. OH MY GOD! Every muscle in my body was calling out for morphine! Please let me get back to my room so I can shower and die in bed.

That was my morning. I was in hopes of having a calm afternoon. Maybe sitting down behind a slot machine with no moving floors and a button I could hit without running. I guess until then I will stay here at the computer and enter my post.

Sherri was home early and we heated up our leftovers from last night. We had planned on going exploring but I guess she was tired and my body was still wrenching in pain…I did not mention the workout to her. I was just glad that we sat for a while.

Doncat http://rvdaydreams.blogspot.com/ called me and we talked for some time. It was good to hear from him. He told me that he and Cheryl were planning on going to the RV show in Dallas in September so we are planning on meeting up there…if Sherri’s schedule works out that way. We love to look at new models of RV’s even though we are not buying at this time…we still like to look. We like to see all the new layouts and gadgets they have on them.

After talking with Don…Sherri and I headed out to the casino to try our luck once more. I have been holding my own and at this time I was about $2.00 ahead. We went to Diamond Jacks  and tried out many slots. I was losing money fast so I slowed down my pace…now that is hard to do when you bet one penny on one line…I just hit the button slower. Sherri on the other hand sat down at a new machine…something Sharks? They had just put these machines on line when Sherri spotted them. She was not there long and hit it for $175.00. Then she hit it again for $75.00…WOW she was on a roll. She ended up well over $250.00 to the good and cashed out. What I had lost was quickly forgotten. We then topped the night off at Texas Roadhouse with steaks.

Not a bad way to end a day that started out iffy to say the least….

Somewhere in Time.
