Listen... I'm Creaking!

I feel like an antique table that creaks every time you put something on it. This body is creaking, I tell ya! Is that even how you spell "creak"? I mean, if I spelled it like "creek" that would be water, right? Who knows. All I DO know is that last week, my new friend, Liz, started teaching weight training at the church on Tuesdays & Thursdays. I've desperately been wanting a gym membership with the long, cold, Bear Lake winter right around the corner... but Bear Lake HAS NO GYM! So, I get on these pathetic spurts where I'll do my own workout around the house while Brig dangles from my legs, thinking it is a game. Needless to say, my workouts never work. And I quit fast. Well, I'm real proud of myself, 'cause I've made it TWICE now to the church to Liz's workout. And that is where the antique table comes in. MY BODY CREAKS!!! She beat me up so good that with every step I take, I swear I can hear my muscles cussing her out! I have pain in places I didn't know there were muscles! I hate her and love her all at the same time. I figured that this is my chance to get my bootie back up where it belongs, so if my body must yell at me every time I move, I'll just have to ignore it. Tomorrow is the next workout. I hope I can get up to go. My motivation is Liz'a stomach & arms. If I dream about them, that doesn't make me gay, does it? Hmmm... Maybe I shouldn't say that out loud. Some things should be kept to ourselves. But those who know me also know I have a talking problem & no matter how hard I try, I can't shut up. So, on that note, I guess my poor aching body has the right to keep talking thru all this pain. No pain, no gain. Get out your microscope, folks! If you look real hard, there IS a muscle growing!

Oh you poor girl. Hang in there though. If you take good care of your body it will creak less when you get to be my age. I sometimes creak for no reason! I have friends that are about 10 years older than me tell me it gets even worse! Oh no...

Allie said...

Good for you Gup! I don't think you really creak,you probably just pop your bones like Kenna! :)

Deb-t said...

Ha ha ha! You creak?! I think I would too if I got my lazy butt motivated enough for a workout. I really wish someone would do that around here for me. I'm not going to the gym, I'm too afraid!
Anyway, I'm jealous of you, creaker!

Kally said...

Kally said...

That is so funny. I can't wait to beable to be activie again! It is so hard to be good for so long! We need to get a membership at the gym the hospital is opening the begginging of November! It is open 24 hours a day and it would be a blast to have someone to go with! Take care of that cute body! :) Don't be too mean, too fast!

You are soooo funny. I just love reading your posts because you make me laugh. Now wait a minute, I'm not laughing at your sore body. I'm laughing at the way you described it. I know what you mean, everytime I start working out again (which if you've seen me has been forever) I can't move at all! Keep it up though, you are doing way better than me. And no, you are not gay. So funny.

Jen Ross said...

You are so funny Gup! I know what you mean though...wait until you get to be my age :-) I read this blog to your husband (for those of you who don't know, Tony's staying at our house for a few days while he's covering for a pharmacist near us). I think he's anxious to get home and see your creaking cute body! Love you!

Isn't it wonderful to feel like you're actually doing something? I love it when my muscles hurt the next day. One of my instuctors says that what hurts today will make you stronger tomorrow. I workout in Garden City 3 or 4 times a week and I love it. The hospital called and told me they were putting in a little center down on Washington. Should be open on the first of Nov. More money than the church but Brenda Jacobson is an awesome teacher if can catch some of her classes. Maybe I'll run over and join you sometimes. Keep it up, it gets easier!!

Suzanne said...

Yah - like your body REALLY needs an "overhaul"...all 85 pounds of it in your size negative 3 jeans?!? :)
But, since you didn't go to "Sister's Weekend" to receive your Calcium pills from Tracy, they say weight lifting/training is great for the bones, too -- SO GOOD JOB!

Brenda Campbell Hansen said...

WooHoo! Way to workout! We tried to do a workout class at our church, and about 10 people signed up to come, but only two of us always came, and 3 came once, then my friend that always came got pregnant and was too sick, so we quit. Bummer. I liked (and hated) it. So now I don't creak...ever...maybe I should move by you...

val said...

Ha ha, you are so funny! I don't think dreaming about arms and tummies makes you gay, but it makes me laugh! Didn't you always do a billion sit-ups every night? I was always jealous. Not a fan of them, but sure needing a workout, but I always need a sister nearby to do it with me.. Kally, are you ready? Oh, me neither.

We live in Springfield Missouri. We have lived here for about 7 years. I am so jelous!!!! I found I am a stress eater. Need to change that. But hey bring on the volleyball. I play on mondays with a bunch of moms and I now live for MONDAYS. Imagine that. Phone is 417-887-6036. Valerie and Brenda look great too. By the way that is how I found you. One of your sisters was on Facebook. You have got to get on there . It is so awesome to find every friend in the world and without really even writing to them, you can see what they are up to, pictures, its like blogging on overload. Great to see you and your family.
