Dear Diary,

For my Bday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me.
Although I am still in great shape since being a high school cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.
I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year old aerobics instructor and a model for athletic and swim wear.
 
MONDAY:

Started my day at 6:00 am. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the club to find Belinda waiting for me. She is something of a Greek Goddess-with blond hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!
Belinda gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillfull way in which she conducted her aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my guy was already aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!

 

 

TUESDAY:

I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air, and then she put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Belinda’s rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT!!-It’s a whole new life for me.

 

WEDNESDAY:

The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn’t try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a Geo in the club parking lot.

Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. Her voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.

My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy my life. She said some other shit too.

 

THURSDAY:

Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in full snarl. I couldn’t help being a half hour late-it took me that long to tie my shoes.

Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she wasn’t looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. She sent another skinny ***** to find me.

Then, as punishment, she put me on the rowing machine-which I sank.

 

FRIDAY:

I hate that ***** Belinda more than any human ever hated any other human in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic little cheerleader. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it.

Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don’t have any triceps! And if you don’t want a dent in the floor, don’t hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.

The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn’t it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or choir director?

 

SATURDAY:

Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today…Just hearing her voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the tv remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.

 

SUNDAY:

I’m having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can thank GOD this week is over. I will also pray that next year my daughter (that little shit) will chose a gift for me that is fun—like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you.’Life Is a Gift

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her,’Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’ The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: ‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

 

Today before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who’s crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life -Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children -Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn’t clean or sweep -Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive-Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job -Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another -Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one MAKER.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -Put a smile on your face and thank GOD you’re alive and still around.

I LOVE a great salon. What respectable woman doesn’t? Just to go in, get the latest juicy gossip, be pampered and come out looking even better than when you went in…yes, definately a great thing. So when we went to see Suzette Audia at Suzette Audia Hair Group in Plano, we weren’t disappointed. Hugs all around and among a dozen customers there was plenty of laughter and banter. Just makes your day feel so much better. Every woman needs a good laugh, and we had plenty while we were there. Makes you wonder doesn’t it. Is it really our hair that we obsess about when we HAVE to see our beautician, or is it just the company and quality of friends? In any case, a nice color, wash, trim and style has the ability to put you in an amazingly good mood, don’t you agree. My assistant, Shasta, refused to have her long locks cut shorter. Don’t you worry though, because Suzette and I have a makeover planned for her in the near future. That will be an event in itself, and Im planning on having it video taped and before and after pictures. We are going to give her a chic new style and a new color, so be on the lookout for updates on that! If you are in the market for a new beautician, make your way over to Suzette Audia Hair Group, 4105 Spring Creek Pkwy, Suite 606A in Plano. You will find her salon nestled in the Stone Creek Professional Center. As an ex-trainer for Matrix colouring, she’s the best at what she does and only takes clients by appointment only, so call her and be sure she can get you in!
