"The FitSwap Chronicles: When Brian Became Mom"

### Diary of a FitSwap Experience: By Brian (a.k.a. Mom)

Dearest Diary,

It's Day 3 in the land of My Best Friend's Mom. In case you’re wondering—no, the novelty hasn’t worn off. In fact, it's gotten funnier and stranger by the minute. But let's not get ahead of ourselves; there are so many details to relish.

Day 1:

My colleague Hank called me rather excitedly about a last-minute swap request. "Can you fit in a body swap tomorrow morning for a VIP client?"

Me, ever the eager beaver, said, "Sure! Who are we talking about?"

"Ah, details, schmetails. Just be at work by 7 am. You'll thank me later."

Fast forward to the next morning, I'm standing in FitSwap HQ, coffee in hand. The coffee, mind you, would be the last pleasure my taste buds would identify as mine for the next week.

Poof! What's that sensation? Lush, wavy hair cascading around my shoulders? My whole body's... buoyant? Alarming assets swaying with joyous life at every move?

Oh, man, I haven’t even seen my reflection yet, but I know it’s going to be fabulous. I watch in awe as I flip around to the mirror and—holy moly, I’m a redheaded goddess. Wait a sec, isn't that—?

It hit me. I’m in the body of *Jeff’s Mom*.

Day 2:

After an evening of mirror-gazing, I finally got around to exploring a thing or two. You know, basic human-body curiosity and all. How loudly can I belch? (Respectably loud.) How fast can I sprint? (Still not enough to escape from realizing the huge responsibility of someone's else life.)

But man, there is one aspect of this swap I gotta share. Making a protein shake now has eternal joy embedded in it. Give the shake a good mix, and...wiggle, wiggle. A comedic bouncing performance there by Mrs. Jeff’s Mom. It’s like being in a constant state of slow jazzercise. Bravo to her, staying in such shape!

Then came lunchtime. Cooking? Ah yes, a skill I haven't exactly mastered. Note: Do not try to make a soufflé while adjusting to a new body. Original plan: a delicate fluffy delight. Actual result: burned flatbread sadness.

Day 3:

It finally happened. Jeff noticed.

I was vacuuming the living room, belting out “Bohemian Rhapsody” - the part about “Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango,” when Jeff walked in.

“Mom? Since when do you know Queen lyrics?”

Oops. I turn around, and let's just say Mrs. Jeff’s Mom's voice isn’t built for Freddy Mercury tributes. Desperately trying to improv my way out of this: “Always loved them, honey. Just never shared it.”

Jeff's face - priceless. Utter confusion and suspicion.

"So, um, Mom. Does singing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ upgrade our vacuuming sessions?”

“Sure does, sweetie. Ever tried it?”

From there, he kept watching me—or Mrs. Jeff’s Mom, that is—with narrowed eyes. I realized I’d have to up my game in the normalcy department. A diet of vacuuming without performances and straightforward laundry duties followed.

There’s an art to folding fitted sheets that I never knew about nor desired to learn, but here I am, mastering it in my borrowed body.

Of course, there's an elephant in the room larger than Queen lyrics and soufflé disasters. The body's original occupant, Jeff’s Mom, is currently doing squats and deadlifts on my behalf. Hats off to her though, because by the end of this swap, I'm going to be in the best shape of my life.

Diary, this is an adventure that keeps delivering. Let's see what tomorrow holds—maybe I’ll master her casserole recipe, and sing a new tune while vacuuming—Rolling Stones, perhaps?

Sincerely,
Brian (in Jeff’s Mom’s body)
