fit as a fiddle
get set for the revolutionary new edith - greater cardiovascular strength and endurance, featuring stronger back, chest and abdominal muscles for a stabler spine and improved biceps/triceps so opening bottles will be a challenge no longer! that's right ladies and gentlemen, i'm getting off my lazy butt and heading for the gym!! i guess the longer you've known me for, the more astounding this news would be. let me put it into context:
* i lived about 2 minutes from the station, my school was one station away, it took around 10 minutes to walk from the station to school, and i was picked up and dropped off pretty much every day of high school.
* canoeing on yr 9 camp - i was so much weaker than my partner that even when i tried harder and she tried less harder we were still going around in circles. we rejoiced when the group did a u-turn, because we were then at the front, but it lasted no more than 5 minutes.
* i fractured my wrist playing netball in yr 9, fractured a finger playing netball in yr 11 without realising and fractured another finger a few weeks later playing basketball. it took me until yr 12 to conquer my fear of hitting moving balls and join softball... and never again.
* until yesterday, my only experience in a gym was in my grandma's apartment in taiwan where i went in with my little cousins and played on this machine with a belt that jiggles around your waist, apparently simulating exercise and thus burns fat.
* i did some soccer drills in the holidays with raymond and a couple of her friends from church and ended up with a bruise on my forehead and paralysed for two days (unrelated injuries).
had my intro session today which was fun. i now have an exercise regime!! seeing as i have a 1pm-2pm day moro, i will be exercising as i've never seen me before :D i wonder how long this enthusiam will last...? on an unrelated note, i also suck at pool but won 2 games straight today against two pretty good players - one because he swallowed and two because she sank the black. glory be unto me haha
