Oh, to loose that baby weight and then some!

OK. So, let me issue a warning to any "plump" people out there (those like me....):
DO NOT THINK YOU CAN DANGLE FROM A BAR 8-FOOT HIGH AND FALL INTO A PIT FILLED WITH FOAM SQUARES AT GYMNASTICS.
If you weigh anything more than, say, a tiny child, you SINK!
And if you haven't worked out regularly for some time ... playing college softball 10+ years ago does not count .... it takes a long time to find your way out of the middle of the pit.
And if you are surrounded by, um, about 15 little 5 and 6 year olds, it takes even longer to find your way out. Oh, and your socks start to slide off in the middle of the foam. And your husband will dessert you.
Maybe one of those last words -- dessert -- is what has gotten me into this mess.
Anyhow, it was all part of the Princesses recent 6th birthday party. I just wanted to join in the fun and feel like a kid again.
Guess I should've stuck to my response to the gymnastics coach when I said that bar seemed really high and that I probably wouldn't have climbed up there when I was 5 or 6. I then told her I probably wouldn't now.
But then she went to the other side of the gym, and you know what they say.....
"When the coach is away, the plump people play."
Or was it PAY?
I need some Tylenol.
