I made the mistake of exercising.
My husband is a ridiculously fit specimen of a human. He can run literal marathons on any given day & is now into something called olympic lifting????? I don’t know but he had to buy special shoes & I was annoyed.
So I reluctantly go with him to the gym this weekend. I really only like activities that I look cute doing. Exercise is not one of them. Some girls look totally kewl & confident, just moseying from machine to machine, knowing how to operate them & stuff. I, on the other hand, try to be as nondescript as possible. It’s the one time Baby gets put in the corner – on a treadmill out of the way.
An hour goes by & I’m winding down – dreaming of lunch. Garr comes in & is like, “Ok – time for SQUATS!!!” Like, is this absolutely necessary? Apparently so. I don’t know exactly how many I did, but I know at least 800 squat/lunge combos were done. I’ve always kind of walked like I have a stick up my butt, but today it’s serious. I’d like a walker, please.
But this low carb stir fry is really helping my six pack.
