2 birds, 1 Savanna... I mean Stone

Ha!  The Husband was wrong after all.  My-Friend-With-a-life and I made plans to meet at 1pm today for gym and ta da... we kept our appointment !  We met, (at the Keg) and proceeded to work not ONLY our jaw muscles, as the Husband had predicted, BUT our right arm muscles AS WELL - so there!!!!  .... and he said this gym contract was going to be a waste of money!! That'll show him!

Yes boys and girls, I dutifully packed my gym bag and had very (very) good intentions of going to gym at 1pm - that is until I got an sms saying "Running late, shouldn't we meet for a Savanna instead" - now I ask you, what the hell kind of question is that??  Gym? Savanna? Gym? Savanna?

... and the LOSER is........

Now I've taught my children about "peer pressure" and have often used the tired old expression "if your friend jumped into the fire, would you join her?" - well when I was asked that question as a child I knew the right answer was "NO" and I've taught my kids the same thing.  BUT it's a whole other ball game when the question becomes "If your friend decided to drink Savanna instead of going to gym, would you join her?"  I mean, what should I have said, No??

Besides, despite what you may think, a fair amount of exercising was done in the 90mins we were at the Gym(Keg).  I mean, do you know how many times you lift your arm when drinking 2 Savanna's?  That's a whole lot of bicep curls right there!  Then laughing for 90mins gives your abdominals and core one hell of a workout.  Naturally we couldn't drink on empty stomachs, so we had a healthy Salad (with bacon, avo and feta).  Last but not least, my right foot and left hand had to do some serious maneuvering when I went racing off to the school to make sure I fetched my kids on time - I didn't want to be THAT mom (...the one who picks up her kids late because she's stuck at the Pub!)

So all in all it was a good session.  I'd had a kak day and while working out might have relieved some of the stress I was feeling, meeting up with my-friend-with-a-life enabled me to kill 2 birds with 1 ... I'd like to say stone, but we all know I really mean Savanna!! 

Besides the fact that certain muscles (mainly in the jaw) were active for an hour and a half, a good chin wag (moan) is far more rewarding (and cheaper) than therapy!
