Fit (and you know it)
I was somewhat shocked last night to see that for the possibly the first time in my life I'm developing muscular arms. Now, before anyone gets excited by this idea, they're not all that impressive yet, but I was startled when I noticed them. Obviously the swimming really is beginning to pay off.
My view of exercise is rather odd really. It's not that I'm really against it, it's just that I can't be bothered with the gym. I really enjoying walking and the swimming is good too, but all that strutting about a gym, well the idea of it really bores me to tears. At least the swimming is fun and the walking takes me to good places (well, actually it takes me to work more often than not) but I just don't see the point of an hour in the gym, when to my mind there are more fun ways of exercising. I don't think I'd be good at sport either, years of games lessons at school beat any enjoyment out of that for me I'm afraid.
And yet I was really pleased to see my arms last night. I know sometimes I'm a bit vain (although if you saw the state I sometimes leave the house in, you wouldn't know it!) but it made me feel really good. Add to that Mark's compliment about how good I was looking on Saturday night, I feel really good about myself at the moment!

As a twice a week gym person I've never strutted about. Generally wandered between machines building up to my 30 minute runs - now that I do.
Always, whenever possible, avoiding the gym equipment in the Window - don't really like to be seen as the biggest chunk of ham in the butcher's window...
You know, I haven't been swimming in years, so reading how it's giving you muscles is making me want to go now! My lack of muscles, just like my lack of hair on my arms, is yet another thing people make fun of me over, so I think I might start doing that.
But yeah, I love it when you get a load of compliments in a row. It gives you an almost glowing air, doesn't it?
