Shephards warning

This was the shot that made me late for work this morning.

Or rather my laziness and inability to get out of bed and my obsessive compulsive habit of hitting the snooze button while pink floyd was playing made me late this morning.

Stopping for 8 minutes at the side of the road just compounded the actual physical lateness.

Much to my annoyance on the way to work I had a swig at my protein shake that I had left in the fridge yesterday thinking that it would be Ok, however somewhere between leaving the fridge and the forty minute drive to work, the G forces in play spinning the liquid up at high speed, must have made something curdle. Gagging and driving is not a winning combination and by the time I got to work I was actually prepared to lick the dust off my dashboard to absorb the taste.

Abbies boyfriend asks me if he can come to the gym with me after work, so Stewarty and I get him a day pass. The only trouble is that he is totally ripped already, one of lifes lucky people, 11 stone dripping wet and toned muscles that I didnt know existed. Stewarty is trying to slim down, and Im small and trying to bulk up.

Dean on the other hand has a proper eight pack and he is bouncing up on the pull up bar like a zebedee on acid. Like he is just having a gentle stroll in the park looking at the daisies. He is then straight into the unnasisted dips and he isnt make any involuntary body noises like me...... How to feel old in one easy step.

I am pleased when he is showing signs of fatigue, but im giving it the I'm just getting started look, and the you cant be tired already look and the young bucks of today have no stamina look, but secretly on the inside my armpits are ready to fall off the third floor and they arent taking the elevator down.

I have another attempt at a protein shake and this one tastes decidedly better than the hedgehog that I swallowed this morning.

Being at the gym reminds me of the polish body builder that I met last week, but I will save his story until I pluck up the courage to ask him for a photo.
