Mens Llama In Corpore Llamo
I'm going in for a routine physical on Friday. I don't expect anything to be out of the ordinary, but I'm counting on the doc to yell at me about exercising more.
You see, I belong to a pretty good gym in the building. But I fell off the exercise wagon some time back and don't feel that I can show my face there until I've first done some work in private, i.e., at home. This, in turn, is tough because the only time I have to do it is in the evening after the Llama-ettes have gone to bed.
Every guy to whom I've explained this predicament understands completely. Every woman thinks I'm insane.
The doc is a woman. I'm hoping she'll provide sufficient energy of activation to get me back off my llama duff.

Unless, of course, you're going specifically to pick up chicks. Or guys, for that matter.

I started a class at the local community college on 12/26 titled "Total Fitness." I am the oldest and fattest pupil in the class. This class is gym boot camp; not for the feint of heart. I really couldn't give a flying hooey about the 20 somethings in the class. I am 51 and out of shape. I need to take this class to jump start a physical fitness routine that is a long time coming...
I suggest you put aside your superficial anxiety about your situation and jump back in to the gym. Lean on the gym staff, they are there to help you, not the people that already have a routine down. You will never be able to get "ready" for the gym at home; what with the 3 Llama-ettes and the adoring wife (with the perpetual honey do list). After 30 days at the gym, you will be working out with the big boys. Or else, the Scottish Dwarf will come to get you...
