I finally joined a gym- Anytime Fitness here in Yorkville, it's like a mile from my house. Location is PERFECT. I was just feeling so icky and out of shape that I couldn't wait any longer, paycheck or not, so I charged the startup fee and first month. Best impulse buy ever. That was last Tuesday, and aside from last Friday, I've been there everyday.
I feel great.
On that same day, I decided to take a picture, front and back, of me, pretty much naked, to see how I'm progressing. Today was picture #2.
I'm starting to LOOK great.
And that's only after 1 week. Imagine 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 6 weeks! Ahh!
I've never felt this good going into a "workout spaz." I usually go hard into it and hate it 2 days later. But I don't feel that way now. Maybe it's because I know I'll be paying them every month, so I'd better not waste my $$$, haha.
In my short week at the gym, I've noticed 3 types of gym personalities I don't like:
1) The really large woman walking at 2.5mph on the treadmill
- Doesn't she realize that doing that for 20 minutes, then stopping, and going home, is not going to do much? It's not supposed to feel good or be easy, especially if you're bigger.
- The other day, this dude had weights set up on 2 different benches, had laid claim to the weight rack, and had spread mats and Bosu Domes all over the stretch room. Ok, fine. BUT, don't glare at me or others when they try to use something in your "area." I mean, half the gym was taken up, wtf?
- Seriously, there be bitches who come in, lean against a machine, and talk. They may move to another machine if that one needs to be used, but that's all the movement that occurs, other than the jaw exercisin' going on.
Alright, I'm off to bed, another good workout in the bank, a cold beer in the tummy, and a nice shower to relax.
Life is good.
