gym! what? me?
I woke up this morning to wonderful news-Obama is President :)
I also woke up this morning to go work out. Ok, quasi workout. S and I had an appointment at the bright and early hour of 8 am at Ladies Workout Express complete with seafoam green and hot pink signage :P
Shock number 1-it was CRAZY busy. I mean, at 8 am why should there be 12 woman working out on the circuit?
Shock number 2-the music is funky. Yes, I said funky...I actually caught myself bopping along to it a few times.
So we get the schpil and yada yada yada sales pitch. Finally it is time to workout! hahahaha
Shock number 3-it was HARD!!! I mean, you do only do that particular machine for 30, 40, or 50 seconds at a time, but really! My arms definitley felt all 40 of those seconds while on that machine. After you decide that everyone else looks just like the idiot you do, you start to relax and actually have fun. Why not laugh? It works ab muscles!
So after all of this humiliation, we get the sales pitch again (the lady was quite aggressive despite being dressed in seafoam green) and, thankfully, because she was with a customer, escaped to discuss it over muffins and coffee. :) We worked out for a good 15 minutes-we desereved that muffin! You would have done it yourself so don't judge me...at least I got up this morning and went! After deciding to 'ease our way in' on the 6 class deal, we went back to pay. I am now a card holding member of a ladies only circuit gym! And my first class is Friday morning at half 9 :) It's called Combat-J beware! hahahaha
Now I am off to have a coffee with the lovely E, another American transplant to this cold, hazy, wet place on earth called H'gate. And tonight I have a dinner guest in the from of our very own girl from Leeds, SL...Always interesting when she is around :) Keeps you in stiches, she does. Off I go then...I need to change out of my gym clothes :) :)
