OMG! Am I really that out of shape?
I mean, I've never really been in shape; as I'm not an exercise fanatic or anything.
But jeez......
All we did was go bowling yesterday.
Have you been bowling lately? It's a lot of fun; especially when you win!
I probably haven't been bowling in about 8 years or more. I sucked at it then. And mostly still do. BUT, by some divine intervention - I got six (count 'em!! SIX) strikes in the three games we played. Five in one game. It was awesome.
Especially the look on Man-Child's face as he kept repeating incredulously, "I thought you said you sucked?" Getting louder and more incredulous as he kept saying it.
Ahh yes. We are a competitive family.
With all that being said. I am in pain today. Every muscle hurts. Who knew bowling actually constituted exercise?
Man-Child (in all his weight-training glory) had the nerve to ask me why I was sore - especially considering I only used an 8 pound ball.
Because, hello?!!!? I don't generally hurl an 8 pound anything down a lane. Unlike some people, I don't get a thrill out of "lifting" and what-all that constitutes weight-lifting.
Yes, I believe exercise is good for you. And will help you to live longer. But to actually do it? Ugh. Of course, if I actually did it - then maybe I could eat what I want? That might be worth considering. But.....
Ellipticals, stair-masters, treadmills?? Not for me. I get bored far too easy. I need something fun! Something that stirs my competitiveness (I must win!).
So maybe I'll take up bowling.
Hmmm; although.....it's hard on the nails. And the shoes????? Ugh.....don't even get me started......
How about blogging? Does that count?
"8 pounds".. pfsst!
ReplyDeleteYou're so girly.
I used to bowl a lot many years ago, at the Buffaloe Lanes. I went to school with that family.
Bowling is good exercise. Well, sort of...
Will bowling make you lopsided? You know, build the muscles up on one arm. I can't do it anymore, it kills me.
ReplyDeleteYES BOWLING COUNTS!!! I must believe that to my core. because, ya know, yardwork counts, right?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE bowling and you are right, it IS a workout!! I'm with you on the weight lifting though.. why would I pick up something to just immediately put it down? Makes NO sense to me. :P
ReplyDeleteIf blogging was exercise I'd be Kate Moss, sad that isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBowling totally is exercise. I about died the day after me and Sazy bowled!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been bowling in years. Never was good at it but loved it!!
ReplyDeleteI walked around the garden today and felt slightly breathless!! I have got to get some exercise.
