Going Up to the Gym

I joined a fitness center yesterday, yeah finally. My fat ass was threatening to take over the entire house. Apparently, sitting in front of a PC all day long is not conducive to good fitness. Who woulda thunk it? Actually, I could use losing about 15 maybe 20 pounds but it’s the exercise that I’m more concerned about. I get winded just watching other people exercise on TV. Now that’s bad.

I really like the place so far, it’s got a nice indoor swimming pool, a huge hot, bubbling whirlpool and sauna. And rows and rows of all manner of modern human torture exercise machines. Located in a nice modern building with private parking, trainers and a nice friendly staff less than a mile from home. I was lucky to find one that had escalators out front too. You know it’s swanky if it has escalators!! LOL

Here’s a couple of the trainers, a couple of really nice guys, but they have the strangest accents.

I did some starter workouts yesterday and now I’m just starting to feel the aches and pains. I’m looking forward to my next visit, maybe in a few weeks. Just kidding!!!! I’ll be going back later today for more fun.

In other news, the new house is great, I’m really enjoying the place. Unfortunately, I’m still not finished unpacking. I’ve got boxes that I haven’t even opened yet. Frankly, m’dear, I’ve just been too busy to give a damn. Blogs Gone Wild is doing fantastic and I’ve got a lot of new stuff in my portfolio and I’m working on lots more. I think I work too may hours, I really need to get out more!

Maybe I’ll go do something fun this weekend, just don’t know what. Anyway, I hope you guys have a fun filled weekend!! Laterz!!

    Am I the only person who thinks it’s strange to have an escalator out front of a place where you’re supposed to go to exercise?

  2. Vince Said:

    Those trainers do look familiar for some reason.

    Enjoy getting in shape. Pick an interesting one, like a rhombus or something.

    Madame Wilde, I am with you. Say what?

    I had to look at that first picture twice before I realized that it was photo-shopped and you were just funnin’ us with it! Right? Please tell me I’m right!

    I need to start getting some form of exercise myself other than all this typing I’ve been doing! The rest of me ain’t looking so hot but damn my fingers are svelte!! If I could just learn to type with my ass!

  5. Linda Said:

    I’m so glad to hear that business is good, that you like your new place and are settling in well (a few unpacked boxes never hurt anyone!)and that you are feeling the need to go to the gym…I will never feel that way but to each his own! Trainers are pretty scary looking even if they are photo shopped! Anyone that tells you how to work out is inherently scary no matter what they look like!

    It just seems wrong to have escalators at a fitness club! LOL

    Good for you, Toots. Working out is good for mind, body, and soul. I hate it but am also a big fan at the same time ;-)

    Sheesh Sev… what’s the rush to unpack? Hell, I’ve been in my house for almost two years and have an *entire* room that is nothing but boxes and boxes of unpacked stuff.

    And good for you on joining a gym. I did, too, about a month or so ago. I may have been there five times, but I’m trying…

  9. Sexy Sadie Said:

    Working out is fun and something of the best I do with the pants on.

  10. Sophmom Said:

    Congratulations on the new fitness regimen. It’s worthy of pride. I should do somthing like that too… naaah. ;)

    While you are at the gym, could you may be exercise for me? Thank goodness I have a dog that makes me get up every morning and take her for a walk. And if we don’t walk long enough then, I get this look “LOSER”.

    I’m with Pandora, an escalator. Now I wished you had shown me that place while I was in NOLA, I would have mentioned the insanity of it. Great to see you again! Wish I had had more time to hang out.
