So, I’m completely exhausted. I’ve been doing morning and evening workouts
to hopefully jumpstart the weightloss again….I will say that after each one it
does leave a sense of fantastic accomplishment and a spurt of energy…..but at
the end of the day it also leaves me depleted – and I’m forever hungry – All.The.Time. (And don’t start…..trust me….I’m stuffing my
face with all the things I’m supposed to and upping the calories, promise.)
Anyways, tonight’s post is a reminder of why I’m doing
this. During tonight’s training session,
Mr. Trainer and I seemed to always workout next to a very fit older gentleman
that well……it was obvious he didn’t bat for my team. He smiled a few times – and conversed a
little with Mr. Trainer throughout.
After the workout, I was on the high and made it to the
elevator with said other guy already in there with the door closing. He quickly held the doors open so I could
make it in. Both of us, dripping with
sweat – smelling fabulous, I’m sure – he said:
Fab guy: “Man, you never want to come here do you? But, after you get it done you feel so great
that you did it anyways. The things we
have to do to look good!”
Me: (Still out of breath) “Yep- well, I’m not at that part
yet, but I really like the feeling great after.”
So, we exit the elevator and go through the glass doors of
the sky rise….and I’m a few steps ahead of him and open the door to the next
set of doors. We then proceed to the
stairway to the parking garage (I’ve been trained to take the stairs…..even
when no one is looking, dang it.) And, I
open those doors with Fab guy trailing me.
Fab guy: “You’re staying
two steps ahead of me! I’m supposed to
open the doors…..my mama raised me right, you know.”
Me: “Ha, I’m sorry, I
guess my heart rate just hasn’t slowed down enough.”
Then we get to the bottom of the stairs to the next set of
doors…..
Fab guy: “Stop now, let me do this.” And he opens the door for me….
Me: I smile…. “Well,
thank you. I’m MoFabulous by the way.”
Fab guy: “Mofabulous, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Rick, you worked so hard out there
tonight – I always snoop everywhere and only speak to people who I think are
deemed worthy, so you know.”
Me: “Ha, I hope so! Thanks again….have a good week.” And I then proceed to my car.
Rick: “Hey Mofabulous?
Wait a second. I saw you several
months ago and I think you’re wrong about the just feeling great part earlier……you
are looking good too – those of our choices pay particular attention to these
things (just don’t tell)….and if you FINALLY flash that smile every once in a
while one might just reconsider if they want to switch sides. Lord knows if I could – there are plenty of
them in there I would choose from."
And, then – he left me right there. Mouth gaping….then hysterically laughing. Sent from up above, I tell you. He managed to kick me in the behind while
complimenting me at the same time.
Also……I now consider him my new best friend.
Progress people = WOOT!
