Getting toned

Right...that's it. This time I mean it - like all the other times I meant it! I'm going to loose weight this year and get toned up. So I made another one of my impulse buys. I bought some weights the kind you wear round your writst or ankles and that are supposed to tone you up. At the least they can't do any harm and I could do with building up my left arm which still feels a bit weak after the operation. And who knows, in a few weeks, there may be a whole new toned me!

As I decided on impulse to go and buy the weights I thought I'd better ring home as I didn't know how long it would take me in case lunch would spoil. The Metro has been advertising that now you can use mobile phones in the tunnels. Well, from my experience today you might be able to start a call but you can't finish it. Rang home, got an answer then the phone went dead. Tried to ring back, got the recorded message, waited, my phone rang, it was Mum, the line went dead. I rang again, Mum answered the phone went dead. I rang again, got the recorded message. Mum rang and finally we could talk to each other mainly I suspect because by that time the Metro was out of the tunnel. After all that lunch was cold and wouldn't have spoilt. But at least I know now not to call until we're out in the open air!

Well, I'm trying out my weights and I think my ankles have suffered enough for now. I'll try them later on my wrists. Toned and trim but probably stiff and sore first.
