    My new afterwork crew

     

    So I can now say that I am a proud member of the Graysville Community Center,  3-4 months post surg.

    Perks include: 

    • watching old people powerwalk
    • watching old people play bingo
    • avoiding the coldness of the outdoor walking track right in front of my house
    • being around old people when i exercise
    • being at least in the top 5 of hottiest there
    • listening to Iron Maiden, Too $hort and Trina in the privacy of my own earphones while all the old people my Grandma played bridge with look at me with that “Aww, what a nice girl with her working out and her He-Man haircut” gaze in their eye.
    • being less than 3/4 streets over from my house, even though I doubt I will walk in the cold.
    • OMFG THE PRICE IS LIKE 90% less over the course 0f a year than what ANYONE else pays for Sportplex, the Y or over the mtn rec centers.
    • Its open until 9pm (surprisingly) on weekdays

    The only downside? Mtn Dew machines as far as the eye can see. Not as beneficial to my overall fitness goals as you would think.

    So the stats that I’m starting off with include:

    • 17 lb weight gain courtesy of Tamoxifen and other chemo drug side effects as well as being banned from unsupervised workout.
    • Haven’t worked out since I taught the tumbling class in Feb/March, but havent worked out to my own personal satisfaction since dance, soccer and track during senior year of high school

    Everyone tease me until I’m not huge anymore. That’s my Christmas wish.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS guys!

    OMG – What a cute crew! I would love to have that kind of place to work out after work. That’s my new goal to find the local center in Clifton and rock out the Bingo and powerwalking. I’m serious! I would love it. We fly in tonight. Late. LateLateLate. But do not fly out until Sunday so perhaps you and the crew can come to Pelham to kidnap us sometime this week! Hurrah. Are you sporting the Jr. High Cheerleading T-shirt that I gave you at the rec center or what?
