Hi ladies...
You all inspired me so much I went and joined the 'uber' gym in my town yesterday. I've been there as a guest before but each time I went, some insane thing would happen so I stopped going back. One time I sat backwards on the stomach machine without realizing it because I was so focused on my shirt that kept flopping up and showing off my untoned stomach.
The next time I went to use the pool and accidentally let the goggles go before they were in place and was half blinded in the pool. And that would have been ok but I was the only one in the pool so of course the lifeguard saw me. I had to get out and sit on the side of the pool for a few minutes and get my sight back. And I can tell you, nothing makes a women feel prettier then being not in her best shape in a bathing suit, half blind, in a swim cap and siding on the side of the pool so her thighs look even larger X:) thats sexy...
But I went back!
So if you read in the papers how a woman accidentaly locked herself in a sauna in her local gym and had to be rescued by firemen...thats me - try not to laugh to hard X:)

I'll be looking for that in the "off beat" news section at cnn.com. lol
Here's another lady with a way with words, lol! Really laughing out loud at the image of the half blind woman sitting on the side of the pool, and then with the comment of the sauna! Funny. But I have to share my experience with the steam room. I go in after a relaxing massage- luckily with nobody around. I have my glass of ice cold lemon water and go in to really unwind those muscles. Low and behold I'm in there about 3 minutes and the "blast" of steam comes out of nowhere- right beside me! ~~splash~~ goes the cold water.....all over me! A scream, as I said luckily I was alone.
You've been given the steam room warning, lol!
Aside from the laughing....congrats on making the decision with joining! Let us know how it all goes...

Way to go!!!
Thanks for the sauna warning X:)
Honestly I think you have to laugh at some of the crazy things that happen on the road to fitness and good health. Those mornings you get up and go walking/running and wonder why everyone is so happy at 6:30am. Only to realize you never completely got all the zit cream off your face when you washed it. So those happy people were happy at the sight of person with zit cream here, there and everywhere exersizing without a care in the world. These things just make life a little brighter X:)
I thought I was the only one. I was in a hotel "fitness center" this past weekend trying to figure out how to program the bike. I felt better when the lady who got on the treadmill after the person who was on it asked me if I knew how it worked. I had no idea either, but I hadn't looked at it. There were three people waiting to use it.
Good for you for taking on the gym. You will be a pro soon. You remind me of a friend of mine. I really enjoy being around her because she sees the bright side of life too.
