So, I officially joined the gym a couple of weeks ago and have been loving it! I've been trying to get there three times a week; sometimes it ends up being only twice, but I'm not worried about it. Since I don't have an mp3 or an ipod, I rock out with my grandma's walkman which has the battery case scotch-taped shut because it's broken. I don't have earbuds either, so if you're looking for me there, I'm the one styling with headphones similar to the one your first grader wears for computer time. I like to think of myself as a trendsetter...just wait, I think it's going to catch on...
I work out at Bally's and the one I go to is right inside of a mall. If you haven't been there, the layout of it is interesting. In the front, the wall is made entirely of glass, so as you're working out, mall walkers can look in and see you strutting your stuff--or not. Now, here is the interesting part, as I'm walking on the treadmill, I'm looking directly out at none other than Mrs. Field's Original Cookies. Whose idea was that? Instead of thinking about getting more fit and eating right, I'm thinking about how many more minutes of cardio I have left until I can get that chocolate chocolate chip cookie. In honesty, I have only done that once...and I think I burned enough calories that it was permissible. Not quite sure about that...I do, however, think about it every single time I am sweating on that treadmill.
Anyway, just wanted to give a little update on the excercise status. Do you think it would be weird if I walked backwards on the treadmill so as to face the opposite direction? My kids do it all the time in stores, so maybe it would be okay. Or, I could wear a blindfold...now that might be really awesome in combination with my awesome headphones.
Hmmm, things to ponder. Hope you're all having a great day.
