Reasons to AVOID the GYM?

LOL - DON'T YOU DARE, mister!!! The only body parts I'll be exercising on our "date" is my hand and my mouth! What?? WHAT??? Im talking "hand to mouth" kinda exercising, while I'm feeding my face with a caramel crunch bagel! Uh, well that and I never shaddap! I did warn you about that, right?

Hello again, friends!! Glad that ya'll were able to get a laugh out of it too -- Im still perplexed by it all. Strange would be an understatement. Just got back from the gym and actually cut it SHORT! Yep - MrKodak was there, never pulled out the camera but after a few awkward moments, Kim and I had all we could take. I'll save that for another post, since I need to take my smelly self into the shower then Im off to meet some friends for lunch (from the VaBoard). Have a fantastic weekend - ALL!!! - Lei Pssst... oh and Dee Dee? Heck NO, Im not gonna talk "history" with this man, methinks he's wanting to CREATE a lil history with me. LOL, besides "friendly small talk" is what got my butt in this situation. Psssst 2.... LMAO, oh and Lynda M? Oh hush - there is NO room for accuracy, when it's an AGE thang, brat!!!!

Lei, One good reason to go to an all women's club. I went to a Gold's Gym for a while, but since I've been at this women's gym, I can't see ever going back to a co-ed. It costs more, but I love it. BTW, the dirty old men have ALWAY**** on me (and I'm not even 40 yet!). Linn

G'morning Linn - Im thinking that an all woman's gym would be nice - which one do you go too? Is it a national chain, or a local thing? I know there is "CURVES" for women, but it's so limited and the 30 minute routine just wouldnt be enough for me, this far out. Woulda been great in the early stages of weight loss but I think at this point, I need a bigger challenge. Of course, just the fact that Ive gone to a gym six weeks in a row, in itself, is shocking - lol, Im worried that the 'inner voice' will wake up and realize what Ive been up to and start speaking up AGAINST it, LOUDLY, screaming all the reasons I hate the "E" word. Kim and I are going to try another Rec Center here in VA BEACH (the membership allows us to choose from 7 or 8 different ones) on Monday ...we're hoping that maybe a change of scenery will help. - Lei

Your story is too funny. I have always been a geriatric magnet (even when I was a big woman). What is it about me??? Who knows? On another note, my gym strictly forbids the ue of cameras and cell phones with cameras. You can lose your membership if you use them! You may want to let someone at your gym know about photo man. There is a certain "expectation of privacy" at a gym. I din't know that until recently when we had a problem in the men's shower room (now, there's a story! ). Judi
