funny, had to share


Recommended Posts

Okay so .... this is probably really mean, and I feel *kinda* bad posting it, but not bad enough to not post it...ya know?

So many of you know my husband's feelings re: my "habit." He does do the treadmill and some light weights, but I can't get him interested in ANYTHING else.

Tonight I came home from my test and he was downstairs on the treadmill. I went down to say hey and smack his butt. I looked at his bench press set up - 65 lbs. "You're doing 65 lb bench presses, eh?" I say. I shrug off my fleece and settle myself on the bench.

"Yeah," as I position my hands on the bar. "5 sets of 10...I haven't moved it up yet."

Moved up to...what? I wonder. I grab the bar.

I crank out 10 65-lb bench presses. Okay, the last 2 were kind of hard, but I kicked my own ass at my workout today. Plus I haven't been benching at all.

I settle the bar back in its proper position. "Yeah," I say as I grab my fleece, "I could do that five times." **SMIRK** (It might not have been the actual 100% truth....)

Anyway. I thought that was funny.

I don't know what I'd do if my wife was benching the same as me.

I was telling my SO that I was doing 2 min planks. His response: yeah, that's hard but you get used to it. Me: What do you mean? Are you doing 2 min planks? Him: mumble mumble mumble Me: So how long are your planks? Him: I'm working up to 90s. Me: bwwwaaaa haaaa haaaaaa (cruel, right?)

So he knows I am terrified of doing handstands and have made this a serious goal. He knows my trainer made me work on it the other night and I was terribly scared and upset. When I finally got up, held for 20s before completely freaking out.

(Here's where payback comes sauntering in...) Him last night: So I was doing handstands at the gym tonight and can easily do 40s. GAH! he's never been into handstands until now. GAH!!!!! Payback sucks.

I must mock him with something else tonight.

I AM going the distance

 

'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.
