Would I lie to you?
Today I’m going to lie to you! And I want you to expose the lie! The lovely Dee at Life Should Be Stereo Each Day did this fun meme and being the copycat that I am, I just had to do it too!
The rules are:
- Link to the person who tagged you. Done.
- Post the rules on your blog. Done.
- Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. Done.
- Tag six people and at the end of your post, link to their blogs. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether you want to do it or not.
- Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. If you are going to do it, please leave me a comment.
The twist here is, one of the statements is a lie! You have to guess which one and let me know in comments.
- English is not my mother tongue.
- I used to have a pet snake in high school.
- I attended 7 schools, 1 college and 2 universities.
- I met my current husband via the internet.
- I used to have a job that required me to regularly ride ostriches.
- I’m a natural blonde.
Okay, lying over!
Yesterday’s workout nearly killed me! I could barely move after waking up from my nap! This morning it was just the muscles around my ribs that were still sore, so I decided to do it again! Sucker!
Jan, the regular Pilates instructor, had a dentist appointment, so there was a substitute. I did not like her. I don’t know if she was offended by my size and lack of ability, but she never touched, corrected, helped or even really interacted with me. That offended me! And that class was nowhere near Basic. But I tried and I think I did really well. Jan will be back next time. As for that girl, well one day I’ll be thin, and she will still be dumb!
Pilates was swiftly followed by another 5 minutes on the elliptical. It’s still hard work for me, but I’m starting to get the hang of it. Then 20 minutes on the treadmill, greatly helped by the Dixie Chicks! I was ready to quit after 10 minutes, but I pushed through and even though I walked pretty slowly, I finished my 20 minutes. My heart rate was at the top limit of my safe zone, so I shouldn’t have walked any faster anyway. I finished off today’s exercise with 5 minutes of arm ergo.
Tomorrow I’m just doing an hour long Aqua class, and on Sunday I’m resting.
I caught myself both yesterday and today turning to the elevator at the gym, to go upstairs to the Pilates studio. Fortunately I stopped myself in time and took the stairs both times. It’s just a bit unseemly to be taking the elevator at gym, don’t you think? Although everyone always vies for the closest parking slots!

I’ll say the ostrich riding is a lie…

I would also say the ostrich.
However it seems the most obvious so it might just be the truth? Truth being stranger than fiction…

uummm… I’m gonna go with 6 (and please don’t be offended if that isn’t a lie).
You had me laugh out loud with ‘one day I’ll be thin and she’ll still be dumb’. That’s so funny. She seems like a bit of a cow. We’ll ignore her, shall we?
Well done on all the exercise!!

I figured it must be the ostrich thing, too.
There’s a comedian who says that “You can’t fix stupid,” so I think you’re right about the pilates instructor.
One of the biggest things I had to face in my weight loss journey was that I was hiding behind my fat. And I’m still working on it. Here’s figuring out why being fat is so darn comfortable.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Well, I think I’ll go with the ostrich too. If it’s not the lie, I want to hear about the job you held…
It sounds like your workout was awesome. Good for you pushing through to do the full 20 minutes at the end.
How funny! “I’ll be thin, and she will still be dumb!” lol

I saw your blog entry on The Healthy You website. I wondered how I missed it as I check your blog daily! But everytme I’ve come to the website it has been the same post about being 14000 (or something) days old. I figured you just didn’t update much! I guess my browser was messed up the way I linked to you! It kept coming to the same old post! Anyway - I’ve found you and I’ve got some catching up to do!
