Family Fitness Sabotage

[carriejones]

All those fitness-trainer-guru people talk about the perils of your family ruining your quest for fitness.

I never realized my family was like that until this morning. I was doing push-up sets. For those of you who blessedly don't know, this is a push-up:





In between sets I sat up because honestly my floor is sooooo dirty from dog fur that it was kind of grossing me out and making my nose all twitchy from the dust. This is when it all went wrong, because the moment I sat up who should appear?



Dog Santa

No. Not Dog Santa.

It was actually her:



Marsie the Cat

"Marsie, baby," I told her as she settled in and took up ALL my push-up space. "You need to move. I need to build up my upper body strength.

Marsie:

"Honey, could you move? My minute has passed. I need to do my last set," I insisted.

Marsie:

So, knowing I was defeated, I moved backwards and started my next set. What did Mars Bars do? She got up too and walked right over to me and then showed me her kitty bottom!

Okay. She didn't show me her kitty bottom. She actually SHOVED her kitty bottom in my face!

Sigh.

I'm going to have to do my push-ups in the bedroom and lock the door from now on.



Marsie: Lock the door? Don't make me laugh! Locks do not stop me! Not with these monster kitty claws. These monster kitty claws can knock down a door. You don't KNOW what these monster kitty claws are capable of.

This is true. I don't.
