No Excuses ...

I "exhausted" [lame attempt at a dry pun] every excuse I could find this morning for not going to the gym.     After the housekeeper left, and I ran errands to the bank and dry cleaners, I arrived at the gym at around 2:00 p.m.     Perhaps this was serendipity-in-disguise.     The parking lot was practically deserted; hence, the same for the gym.

I did my penance for thirty minutes on the treadmill first.    Then, off to the weight room for the nitty-gritty stuff.     I love having the machines to myself -- no waiting -- no break in the circuit . . . just go, go, go!     I even increased weight on most of my leg exercises this session.

Then, a quick trip to the grocer for a few items -- which, after a session in the gym is the absolute-perfect time to go . . . no hunger-pangs, no impulse-buying . . . just in and out with the necessities -- lots of fruit, skim milk, orange juice, and some low-fat shredded cheeses for salads.

I also bought another package of Grapples.     (Check out fellow-blogger Steve's thoughts on the fruit(s).)     I even had my check-out girl smelling the package.     When I made the remark, "It smells just like Grape Nehi, doesn't it?" and the girl looked at me like I had lost my mind, I knew there was a major generation gap.     Luckily, the bag-boy said, "Like Radar drank on M*A*S*H?"     Oh, well, at least a point of reference . . .

I think it's time to whip up a salad and some pasta for dinner . . .

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
