WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM
                       If you read this without laughing out loud, there is something wrong with you. This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine.

                       Dear Diary,
                       For my birthday this year, my Husband (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 football 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 Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.
My husband seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

                      ________________________________
                       MONDAY:
                       Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to
find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god - with blond hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!

                       Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his
aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
                       Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he 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. Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His 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.
                       Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. His voice is a little too perky for
that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
                       My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a
machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other **** too.
                       _______________________________
                       THURSDAY:
                       Asshole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late - it took me that long to tie my shoes.
                       He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny
***** to find me.
                       Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine -- which I sank.                      ________________________________
                       FRIDAY:
                       I hate Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic little aerobic instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it. 
                       Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents 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 the choir director?
                       ________________________________
                       SATURDAY:
                       Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just
hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use t he 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 go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband will choose 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!!!
