a little bit of exercise

Tweet

I have just managed to burn an impressive one thousand calories. Yes, I'm telling you a little fib. *sigh* However, I do feel as though I've just run a marathon, or lifted some very heavy weights, or forced my legs through quicksand. Or all three of those, all at the same time. I have changed the bed. Some sheets billow with freshness, drying on the washing line outside. Other sheets have been lovingly caressed onto the bed by my fair hands. And the duvet cover? Well, I manhandled that on to the duvet with all the finesse of an elephant dancing on his tippy-toes. I grunted, I puffed, I swore. I thought about giving in, cosying up inside the mess that it was and just sobbing my little heart out. But I didn't. I was brave and strong, a real warrior. Xena. The bed is made. The sheets for sleepyheads tonight are fresh and clean. My exercise for the day is done. Knowing that this is a regular exercise activity of mine, one would be forgiven for wondering why I'm not a svelte wee thing with an A4 waist.
