Day 7

So instead of going running today I went to the cinema - but again I took fruit in with me, so it wasn't all bad!

I did come home and do the 30 Day Shred - attempt 7, and did it with the 2lb weights. I know they're not hugely heavier but I can definitely feel a difference in my arms as I type this!

Tomorrow I am going to have my gay best friend working out with me - Augustus (not German, but yes as in Gloop from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) - who will be using my heavier weights based on the fact that a)he's a boy and going to therefore use the heavier weights and b)they're pink.

Harry, my boyfriend, hates Augustus which makes things difficult when Harry is staying with me - so I like to try and spend time with A when H is on his weekly visits to his country home, and currently this means A is going to have to exercise with me as opposed to going for cocktails and dinners, which isn't something I'm convinced he's thrilled about. Not something I'm convinced Mrs Batty Old Cow downstairs is convinced about either mind you, since A is fairly heavy on his feet and doesn't need to be jumping for her to get her broomstick out. Though he just ignores her. And the last time she arrived at the door to complain he told her to stick said broomstick up either her arsehole, or his, because it would be the most pleasure she'd ever give anyone in her entire existance. This is a true story, and the funniest day of my life. Just to say though A is not one of the Drama Queen gays of the world- he'd been mixing cosmopolitans & champagne by this point. A is usually fairly refined. To the point of pretencious.

Anyway, back to the exercise chat - I had pledged to do 2 lots of each level with the heavier weights and was planning to make it days 9&10, but today is day 7 and Augustus will be doing tomorrow and Thursday with me - meaning I'll be using the heavier weights on day 7 and day 10. This could either be more desirable in terms of not using them 2 days in a row means I won't have time to start building any form of muscle or less desirable in terms of if I did use them 2 days in a row I might have started building up muscle, meaning I might have found the next level slightly easier!
