Okay, so on Friday I went to the gym, which was the first time in a week, because I had my buddy visiting and shopping came first! And the rest of the week was consumed with appointments and errands, (I know, excuses). Although the appointments were made BEFORE I joined the gym. So, back to me walking in the gym. I was just going to do the treadmill, not much more, I was tired.
BUT, someone recommended that I try the Cardio Mix class. The name should say it all. So, I figured that I owed it to myself to work a little harder. (did I ever). Well, important bit of information.......never get to a class late, because you don't get to pick "your spot" before the rest of the class gets there. Where does everyone go in a workout class????? In the back! So.......I was in front with the instructor AND to make matter worse...........in front of ALL of the mirrors. WHY? WHY do fitness people feel the NEED to put mirrors everywhere in a gym? Do I really want to see all of that going everywhere???? NO!
I made it through the class and I did feel better. But my day was full. I needed to go to Home Depot and the commissary. Home Depot was first, because I really didn't need a lot of stuff. So, our Home Depot has this hot dog stand in front. Not just your average wiener, good ones and she grills onions. The smell of grilled onions are yumm-O! There was a little rumble in my tummy, so I go in and check things off of my list. I did get a little side tracked with tile and flooring! Anyway, the smell of those onions were killing me! And at this point it was 10:30AM and I knew I would be in the commissary for at least an hour, which could be really bad, because I was getting hungry!
In the same parking lot as Home Depot is a Jason's Deli. If you haven't eaten at a Jason's Deli, do yourself a favor and go! Everything is so fresh and their salad bar is EXCELLENT! I knew that they had yogurt parfaits with fresh fruit and granola. But that hot dog and grilled onions smelled sooooooo good!!!! I knew that I needed something to eat before the commissary and I was in the middle of a decision..................yummy hot dog with steamed bun and grilled onions or yogurt with fresh fruit. The two sides of my brain were arguing with each other!
"yes."
"no."
"yes."
"no."
Soooooooooooooooooo, what did I do??????

Mmmmmmmmmmm onions. :) heeheehee
So when I come for a visit are we three (yep, you to Jen!!) suffering together and hitting the gym with you? Also, I cringed for you when I read you had to be up front. Those mirrors are trick mirrors. They add pounds. Really!! At least that's what I tell myself.
hugs girl!!!
dawn
Good job making it to the gym and being brave enough to try a new class!!! Those dreaded mirrors are only your before girl! I got your thank you note yesterday...It was my pleasure, I thought the little funnies would make flipping through the year a little bit more fun!
Thanks girls! Dawn, you and Jen are more than welcome to hit the gym with me! And those mirrors, definately trick mirrors! Next time, I will get there early and find my spot in the back!
Jason's Deli- Ruben Sandwich + French Onion soup, every time. mmmmmmm. Love Jason's Deli, even if its been years since I've gone. There's no way I'd be in the front at a class. I'm WAY too clumsy. Good job.
Jen, that is cruel punishment! Jason's Deli Reuben!!! YUMM-O. There is a Jason's here! I did two classes this morning and I am STARVING, but I am going to have something here! I am STRONG!!
You are a strong woman!
