I just woke up. Covered in a fairly thick layer of grime and dried sweat. And I can’t move. I didn’t shower when I got up yesterday. In anticipation of my evening plans. Despite my reservations. And some folks’ taunting. I showed up for Arm Day at PlayFITStayFIT yesterday. At around 4:55. Thought I walked … Continue reading Arm Day Number Four

Managing My Motivation
“The last exercise that we’ll do is Fall Risk’s favorite. And we’ll do 50 of those.” I know what Fall Risk’s favorite is. We all know what Fall Risk’s favorite is. We don’t know why they’re her favorite. But we know what they are. But Fall Risk wasn’t even “in” virtual class tonight. So I … Continue reading Managing My Motivation
Pandemic Brain
“Why haven’t you learned anything I’ve taught you about cheating in gym class?” Because I’m a pure soul incapable of deception? See. The problem was. Fall Risk loves manmakers. Are you familiar with this bullshit? So you take a set of dumbbells. And you burpee with them. Except instead of just a standard bullshit burpee. … Continue reading Pandemic Brain
Dorito Socks and Heavy Weights
You ever get a delivery? From Amazon? During a global pandemic? And spend 17 1/2 minutes staring at the box? On your porch? Trying to remember what in hell you possibly bought? There’s a point where you try to determine who might hate you enough to ship you a box of the Covid. Meh. You’re … Continue reading Dorito Socks and Heavy Weights
Virtually Active
I just finished my second pot of coffee. It's either that or eat. Nonstop. And I'm trying to use my school stomach. Like the memes keep telling the children to do. But y'all. I'm struggling. I'm struggling in a really weird way. Like, I'm ok. But I'm also not ok. At the same time. I … Continue reading Virtually Active
A Mountain A Day
Not a Snow Day 3. I continue to try the mountainous approach to maintaining my health. Tuesday night found us climbing Roanoke Mountain. It took me a minute to get there. Because I basically live at Starr Hill these days. So I drove right past Walnut Ave on my way in. Turned around in the … Continue reading A Mountain A Day
Worst Neighbors Ever
I wore real dress pants yesterday. The kind with buttons. And aren’t even stretchy. And I managed to breath normally the whole day. Apparently, if I just force myself to workout every damn day, I can maintain a comfortable body weight. And still eat the random crap that people offer up to me. Mostly GBFF...WHTBS. … Continue reading Worst Neighbors Ever
J-Vicious Been Talking
Someone’s been talking smack about y’all. Not me. But someone. They been sayin y’all scared. They say y’all read what I write about what happens at PlayFITStayFIT. And y’all scared. Too scared to come to the gym. And experience what we experience. J-Vicious thinks it’s me. He thinks I’m the issue. Like, maybe I need … Continue reading J-Vicious Been Talking
I Need A Manual
Don’t believe everything you read on social media. I had a conversation with J-Vicious yesterday... So, will you be at PlayFITStayFIT today???? (Four question marks feels a little aggressive.) Depends. Will it be a partner workout? Will you trust me if I say no? I mean...no...probably not. But still. Will it? No. So anyway, it … Continue reading I Need A Manual
It Gets Worse
Skratch sent that message yesterday afternoon. Before the 5 o’clock PlayFITStayFIT class. And let me tell you just how much bullshit that message was. “Collateral damage” Right. So, here’s how this shit went down. So we’re there. At the PlayFITStayFIT. Me. Skratch. Fall Risk also shows up. And I’m all happy. Because I’ve got these … Continue reading It Gets Worse
