It is all connected

Do you remember the song, "The thigh bone connected to the knee bone, etc." Well I'm beginning to believe that all the muscles are connected as well, maybe tighter than what we think (I always knew that, just play along with the story). Today, Day 19, I began my exercises. Warm up, great job! Had no problems. However after that it all went downhill as they say. You see the first thing you do is Walk out pushups. That means from a standing position you bend and touch your toes and proceed by walking out on your hands until your in a plank position and then you do a push up, walk back up to your toes and stand up and repeat it all over again (sometimes it feels as though I'm repeating it about 100 times). Anyway, all the muscles shrieked at me and started the following conversation.

"She is at it once again," said the shoulder muscles to the arm and hand muscles as their owner starting stretching and warming up. "Ahh, this feels nice just to stretch." "What on earth is she thinking about doing now," as their owner proceeded in jumping jacks. Bladder muscles, "Wait, hold on a minute, did you remember you had three kids and your 4o now, I can't hold on much longer." At the same time all the cartilage in the knees protested, "Why can't you just leave us alone? You are shredding us over and over again. This can't happen anymore!" On and on the muscles screamed, shrieked, and disgustedly exclaimed lots of explicit comments to their owner. More and more she pounded as the muscles and cartilage locked themselves in place and rebelled. Muscles were heard saying, "She thinks she is 20 years old again, ah but look, I'm starting to take shape again. I'm starting to look like I used too before she gave up!" "Wow," exclaimed the shoulders and biceps to one another, "you look good! No longer saggy underneath arms, or no shape." They all decided to get in line with one another and start working for the good, however they all know they are 40 year old muscles and it is going to take a long, long time to get them looking great again. All the cells and the corpuscles and the lungs were singing along as they were able to do their job more efficiently because their owner was truly trying to keep them healthy. "Although I'm sore," they all said, "We are so glad she is fine tuning us." They also remembered from the brain, "Rejoice, in all things, and again I say rejoice." As the owner cooled down and continued her duties she is still tired and out of energy and sore from the shoulders down, she knows she must continue to decrease, in order for HIM to increase! That means discipline. Physically & Spiritually! Although the muscles are still whining and complaining and so is the owner, we all know it is a good thing to do, but we still don't like it.
