Water is a sign of weakness? Further proof that ‘M’ is the Devil!
Last night in physical therapy after warming up on the treadmill and ‘walking like a duck’ (some day I need to explain what ‘walking like a duck’ is to all you folks out there), I was looking at my chart to see what torturous exercise I had to do next and drinking some water.

“What exercises do you want me to do today?” I asked ‘M’, my trainer in physical therapy.

“How’s your knee feeling today?” He asked.

“Better.” I replied.

“Good! I can really POUND on you then!” He gleefully exclaimed.

Ugh! I thought slumping in posture and energy.

I followed ‘M’ over to an evil looking knee-grinding machine and waited while he put weights on it.

“Ok, I want 3 sets! And when you’re done here, do leg press, reverse hypers, triple threat and squat and row.” He dictated.

After I finished the knee-grinding machine I took a moment to drink some water.

“What are you doing? Did you do leg press and reverse hypers yet?” ‘M’ interrogated.

“Not yet.” I replied.

“Why not? What are you doing?” He replied exasperated.

“I’m getting a drink of water.” I explained.

“No water! Water is a sign of weakness! Now get to work!” ‘M’ yelled like a drill sergeant.

Oh man! You’re just giving me more and more material to write about…I thought as I looked at ‘M’ with disbelief.

In that moment, I so wanted to tell him that he was the ‘Devil’ on my blog…  posted by Matildakay at 5:30 PM
