I'm bringing sexy back (in a couple of months)

I had to RESET my password?! hadn't been on in so long that I'd forgotten how to get onto my own blog? YIKES
MERRY CHISTMAS Y'ALL .. you know what they say better late then never :)

in a nutshell in the happenings of me (cos i know the stalkers out there care - and if you dont CARE damnmit i am writing it so you READ it !) hahaha okay now that we got that out the way...

1. December came and went- amazing time in elands bay - so much windsurf dancing i am still recovering.
2. surfed until my ear drum burst- (never fear ...its fixed now)
3. started a little play group
4. as always a little family drama to keep us on our toes and looking upwards
5. started weighless (yes i am trying anything).. there was a bit of incentive (of the financial variety)
5. the result of the past five things-is a happy me..

I am sure when I actually start following the Weighless program the weight will start coming off properly, but until then I am still grasping at straws - big ones, small ones, broken ones - if its a straw I'm GRABBING it !

Started back at gym this week - (on Monday) Gym makes me happy - they have new bikes with GAMES on them - what a GREAT way to distract you from the seemingly near death breathing and sweat... like a panic attack?! I want to tell people THAT IS NOT SWEAT... ITS MY BODY CRYING!! and again I notice a little sign on the machines saying something along the lines of "if you experience shortness of breath stop training" - this means most of us should stop walking up the stairs to the cardio machines .... so in short-I'm bringing sexy back (in a couple of months)

I have found a little list of things, lets call them "gym etiquette"

* Don't stare at a dieting bodybuilder who is stuck on the treadmill. He doesn't want to be there (he wants cake) and isnt in the most friendly mood. Even though you may only be appreciating the body that he developed, he will probably still bare harsh intentions toward you!

* If you can do an exercise in a space that doesnt require any gear, do it. Dont do curls in the squat rack, leg raises on the bench press and dont sit and talk on a bench when someone might need it.

*No Funny Cell phones: At least get off the bench for the conversation.

*The weights have homes. They like their homes. When they dont go home, they get angry and do mean things. All the little dumbbells go together and all the big ones go together. So no 15s up by the 120s. The little plate thingys have homes also.

* If a book or shirt is on a bench, someone is trying to save it because they are doing exercises back to back. These are called "super sets" and the guys that do them are usually super big. It sure is awkward to be sitting there picking your nose when bubba comes storming around the corner.

*While its o.k. to use a couple of machines if its not peak hours, dont monopolize the gear. You cant reserve a treadmill for an hour while you run back and forth from the weights to the treadmill to do circuit training. Boy, this one really ticks people off.

*Watch out for I.L.S. Invisible Lat Syndrome. This is where even though there is nothing under your shirt; it looks like your carrying around two beer kegs under each arm. People are laughing at you.

* Wipe your sweat off of the gear; no more needs to be said.

* Change your gym clothes and don't put them on after they have been fermenting in your locker for a week. Strong in smell doesnt count!

* For the manly, there is a new invention called "deodorant". It runs a close second to something called the "shower". Check it out.

*Ladies: No more pink thongs over black spandex, please! Don't throw them away though because they may need extras if Miami Vice makes a come back.

*Guys: Retire a shirt when it starts to walk on its own.

*This is strange to me but I better mention it cause I seen it happen. please don't blow"snot rockets" on the gym floor. Really..

*For the guys, (or so i hear) if your going to shave, comb your hair, brush your teeth or whatever in front of the mirror, keep your cloths on. As comfortable as you may be with yourself, guys dont need someone they dont know selling hot dogs in the locker room.

* girls PLEASE the basin's are for washing hands- they are not miniture baths for you to clean your whole body in full view of people in the sauna ...

*The showers are single purpose. If I see anything other than clear water running around my feet, I'm going to freak.

now that its out there-Im watching you ... :)
