vests make it work outier

I was at the gym again doing my usual elliptical, when I saw a guy with a vest. It had a lot of pockets. FILLED WITH WEIGHTS.

I was shocked! I imagine that makes everything you do harder! Why would you want that?! Isn't it hard enough already?

I can barely work out with a shirt on! (Don't worry, I keep my shirt on.) And that's just heavy duty cotton!

OH! And a few weeks ago I was talking about stepping. Like, on that step. At the gym. I saw a guy totally doing it! Not fakely like I did it. He was actually doing it in a way that looked like a real work out!

Imagine stepping on steps with weights in your vest. THAT would be really cool.

That's about all that happened at the gym recently. I guess the gym isn't too exciting.

Unless you consider a mermaid on a treadmill exciting. Because that totally happened. She also had a hat on. Like, a gardening hat. I didn't know that mermaids were big gardeners, but I guess they are.

At least this one is. Or maybe she's just a big hat wearer.

They should have a big-hat-wearing, mermaid-walking event at the Olympics. I already know a champion! She goes to my gym!

I could help her, too! I have a team of guys who can train her on stepping and weight-vest wearing!

Next year, we're going to get the gold. I just wish somebody would tell me where they are going to have the Olympics next year.

I'm off to walk with a mermaid.

Enjoy Everything.

step it up a little bit

I will exercise when I can. It's not bad. It's not great, but I feel like I should do it because it's supposed to be healthy for you.

One thing I have NEVER done is "step" stuff. I don't get it. Without any instruction, I tried stepping up onto the platform. I did it. Then I stepped down again. Woo.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong because it was not even close to resembling a workout! Maybe I should be carrying an ox when I do it. That would probably make it harder, right?

OH! You know what is sweet (and totally unrelated but I just thought of it and didn't want to forget to tell you)! Strawberries are coming early!

I know it's because of climate change and stuff, but it's still pretty awesome. I like good strawberries. Not bad ones. Good ones are good. Bad ones are not good. They are bad. Strawberries are one of the cutest fruits, don't you think?

The doctor said I was healthy (going back to the healthy talk). I told him that I exercised. Not step aerobics, though.

My doctor likes bears. He had a bear calendar in his room. I found out that Bear Awareness Week was in the beginning of May. I'm bear aware. Are you?

I bet bears like strawberries.

I tried strawberries and peanut butter once. Because I like peanut butter on pretty much everything. It wasn't gross. But it wasn't anything special. Try it if you like, but it's kind of a waste. Save the pb for apples or bread. Peanut butter pb, not lead.

I'm off to have a strawberry picnic with a bear.

Enjoy Everything.
