can you believe it? the impossible has happened - i joined a gym. hahahahaha. =D
so yesterday was my first day at the gym. i've never been part of a gym in my life, and so i really felt quite out of place. man, oh man, was i in for a shock.
1. WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE NAKED PPL?!?!?! as i was changing into my gym clothes, i looked around to see what the other women were doing - was there a changing area? do i go into a bathroom stall? NOOOO... apparently, ur just supposed to get naked with each other!! there were boobs everywhere!! and later, when i was changing to go home, the old lady next to me had no bottoms on!!! i so did NOT need to see her private areas!!! =(( so sad... and so horrified...
2. workout machines have TVs!!! i was doing the eliptical machine when i noticed that there was a tv button. lo and behold - you can watch your own little tv as u work out!! i've always seen those big tvs they have for everyone to watch, but my machine had its very own tv!! man... although, i probably shouldn't have watched what i was watching. i watched the food network while i worked out. hahahahaha. =D it's just torture!! all the food looks so good, and here i am sweating like a pig. =P
3. omgosh, after my workout, i met walter for dinner and we went to chipotle. i was so horrified to find out that a single burrito has 949 calories!!! i spent an hour at the gym sweating and huffing and puffing, all to burn like 200 calories. and i ate that amount in just chips and guac!!! the world is so unfair!! how can they make food so good, and yet so hard to lose it?! i refuse to eat just salads all the time, but man alive... it got depressing really fast. hahaha. (btw, in the end, i hated my salad, and walter traded me his burrito with my salad so i could stop looking so sad. hahaha)
4. so... at one point, as i was speed walking on the treadmill (don't judge me for not running or jogging on the treadmill!! i'm not at that level yet!!), i looked over to my right. there was a long line of people of all ages and shapes running on their treadmills. as i looked around at how we were all facing a wall or a window, running on these darn treadmills, i realized that we were all like hamsters on a hamster wheel in a cage!!! we're all running on these machines that go nowhere, and there's no end in sight, and we're all just cramped in this one, hot room. ARE WE NOT HAMSTERS?!?! =(
so with that... i leave u now. i'll be back at the gym tonight. hopefully, i will be able to stick to this workout routine since i am now losing money if i don't lose weight. hahaha or... boo hoo hoo? =\ wish me luck!!
yay for gyms and naked ppl! haha. i was horrified the first time i went too.. i haven't gone to the gym in a while though. i should start going again!
ReplyDeletewhoaaa which gym did you join??
ReplyDeletebtw mia! i dont know if you finished read "the shack" or not but there's a review of the book if you wanna read it. it's by mark driscoll's church (mars hill church): http://theresurgence.com/the_shack_book_review
ReplyDeleteenjoyyyy!
u should have walter show you how to do some basic weight lifting. haha it's actually pretty important to have a balance of cardio/weights, regardless of fitness goals
ReplyDeletehey mia! thanks for checking out my site! i just joined a gym yesterday too. i'm now a proud member of equinox. glad we are bringing blogging back :)
ReplyDeleteKudos to joining the gym, I joined one last week too!
ReplyDeleteHey Mia! I had started to work out too but that died ever so quickly. But soon, I shall start it up again. But good for you.
