It's been such a beautiful, sunny day. I want to be out in the sun as much as possible. This morning I was out tending to my garden, and what we have of a lawn. I was raking the freshly cut grass, and pine cones off the lawn when I heard a deep, masculine voice say, "Do you want a job?" The popularly known and proverbial tall, dark, and handsome was smiling flirtatiously at me. My cheeks turned bright red and I smiled back. He is the supervisor of the lawn maintenance crew at our townhouse complex. I hadn't realized that they were raking the grass today, otherwise I would have left it for them to do. We spoke for a few minutes and then he continued his work, and I tended my garden. My basil plant is looking rather ill these days. The poor little thing is wilting and the sunshine doesn't seem to be doing it any good. I am still hopeful for it but if it doesn't improve in the next few days I may need to get another one.
"Squat for 10, 9, 8, 7...1. And again for 10, 9, 8, 7...1." Such were the instructions of the aerobics/body sculpt class teacher today. This particular class focused on interval training and core strengthening. The instructor for this class was a Drill Sergeant in his own right. Occasionally during the class we would have to do squats and then raise one of our legs. I almost burst out laughing when I saw myself do this exercise because it reminded me of what Sumo Wrestlers do. All I needed to do was add the "Ho!" and grunts and I would have fit in with any Sumo Wrestling practice. The Drill Sergeant told me that he was happy I could keep up with the class, and that he didn't have to cue me too often.
As I work out more I have realized that I actually enjoy sweating. I like the feel of it pouring out of my skin, and the salty taste I get whenever I lick my lips. I am happy with the energetic vibe of the classes that I attend. I like how physically strong my body feels when I work out.
