Several years ago I did VERY VERY well, going to the gym every morning. I’ve been good about going in the afternoon, but it’s a drag, it takes up all my after school sunlight etc.
SO, yesterday I got up, went to the country club gym (that’s the replacement for my old one). I was warned, but was a bit alarmed to see a large number of cars in the lot.
But there were enough treadmills that I could get in my 42.5 minutes.
However, there was a line for the shower! The good news is that I was the first in line. Then there was only one hair dryer downstairs and 4 of us.
I still got out and got to school by 7:45. I like to get there before my tutoring kids come at 8:00.
Today, I made it again. In fact, made it a few minutes earlier. Not as many cars, but again plenty of treadmills. It was touch and go for a few minutes, but I still managed to do 42.5 minutes uninterrupted.
This time, no line for the shower, and I was the only one downstairs. One of my fellow teachers came down — come to find out she teaches some classes at the club. Good news — she figured out that I couldn’t make it to her class and make it to school — sorry, but I really don’t like the group exercise thing.
Okay, here’s the truth, every time I’ve done the group classes, I’ve cut down on the cardio and they just don’t burn the same number of calories, and hers is a stretch class.
… The bad news, truck is in the shop, getting a repair on something that was fixed last October (2002).
