Fit for something
Jan. 23rd, 2013 05:24 pmI've belatedly fulfilled a resolution (not a NY, I take longer than that to think through things) to go back to the gym. Yes, it hurts, but not fitting into last year's pants was also a painful discovery. Most of last year's pants.
I'm also trying to get myself fit to go on a hiking trip. Gym owner cheerfully points out the weights, the ones on ends of poles that look heavier than me. "You'll be aiming to use those," she assures me. For now, it's miniscule dumbells about as heavy as lifting a couple of squishy male rats in each hand.
I've been back at work for a week and a half and it is annoying. I try to forget this by planning for my long service leave. I still have most of my time saved away for a trip to the US and hopefully, this hiking trip. That is, hopefully finances and dates work out for both of them.
The weather continues hot, though not too bad today. We're headed for another heatwave soon. Probably several. Gardening consists of trying to keep the residents alive. I won't be planting anything until next autumn, so the only new arrivals will be volunteers. [What you call weeds that you actually want!]
I've been reading all the LJ posts from friends - particularly enjoy the ones reminding me there is cool weather - nay, snow! - somewhere - and am sorry I don't post/reply more often.
