Yes, I'm still alive. Yes I'm still on track towards my goal of 140 pounds of resplendent beauty. Ha! I'm the smallest I have been since I started. It's about two - 4 ounces daily gone, vanished from my body. I checked my records, from Sept. 4 to Oct. 4, four pounds disappeared. I am now really anxious to go back to the OBGYN for the weigh in. That's the place I consider my official weight record.
Ok, on with Gym Part 2. Things I like about it....................
1. It's close. Five minutes and I'm there.
2. Salt water pool. Much better than chlorine.
3. Priced right through my husband's insurance.
4. Has a kid's zone. I took my granddaughter once. She loved it. It's $1.80/hour( if you purchase 25 hours in advance with no expiration. )
5. I've now done two days on elliptical and did not kill myself or hate it. Those people on The Biggest Loser make it look awful. It was NOT awful. Of course, I only did level 2, 30 minutes. AND, you can charge your IPhone, watch TV, listen to your IPod. And, these machines have built in fans that blow in your face. Pretty darn cool.
6. Reconnecting with several older people from our community.
Things I do NOT like...............
1. Exercising next to men of any shape and size. Call me a complete weird-o but this bugs me.
2. Sitting in the sauna where countless sweaty guys have sat. The sauna is clean. It's just the thoughts that bug me.
3. Walking in. Yep this bothers me 'cause EVERYONE stares at you. And I normally look like crap to go exercise.
4. The general noise of a gym. I exercise for peace of mind. I have always enjoyed walking. With no headphones. The pool is peaceful. The gym is noisy.
5. The $35 monthly I'm spending for the privilege to experience numbers 1 - 4.
I'm absolutely positive this list will grow. As it grows, maybe my butt will shrink.
Sincerely,
I'm Not Oprah
