Evelyn and I are going back to the gym tomorrow. (I think we’ve been a total of two times since the first of the year. ) We’ve had a lot of reasons for not having gone. I wanted to go and she wasn’t up for it; or she could go and I had to work. One day it was cold and rainy, so we didn’t go. They all seemed like good reasons at the time on the days that we didn’t go. Looking back, not so much. Of course, if I was out of town working, that couldn’t be helped. But I haven’t been out of town since last year. I know I could go by myself. I know I could even just walk the dogs around the block, but I don’t. Why is it just so damn easy to procrastinate? If only there was a pill I could pop to prevent procrastination.
Anyway, tomorrow is the day. I absolutely hate starting back at the gym. Actually I hate it for about the first week. I go there in my finest gym wear, a pair of old shorts and a t-shirt that way past it’s prime. I lumber onto the treadmill, get going and inevitably, some super fit person will hop on to the machine next to me and start running uphill like their pants are on fire. And to just put a cherry on my day, they don’t even sweat!
I wish there were two distinct sections in the gym- a section for those in shape and a section for those trying to get in shape. (It isn’t that I want to be labeled.) I want to freedom to choose what section I go to. But some days it’s just really hard when I’m doing a 15 min mile and the person next to me is doing a 7 min mile. I know, I know, I’m there for me, not for them…blah, blah, blah.
I did see this photo today and got inspired. I think this is what I’ll work towards. Does she look really crazy or is it just me? This woman, Cathy Jung, has a 15″ waist. Can you believe that? – 15 ” ! Miss Jung is just too “hourglassy” for me. (Honestly, I think she looks kinda scary.) I think I’ll keep my curves less severe, thank you very much.
This is NOT photshopped!
