Bend me...shake me...

Allyson, Doug and I signed up a few months ago but it took me two months before I could muster the time and energy to go in to Bally's. I knew what going in would mean. Pain.
I wasn't wrong.
Going in also meant I had to meet my trainer, James.
Pain with some laughs.

Surprises:
I didn't know that the gym is a mini "Peyton Place". Yes, I am dating myself...but everyone knows what "Peyton Place" means. A living soap opera. Well, they still exist...at Bally's, 24 Hour Fitness and/or any other gym. I now know the "scoop". I told my trainer I'd tell him one story for each story he tells me.....of course, mine are all old stories. Nothing exciting has happened to me in 25 years. Lets just say I traded info on the naked wife pictures shown by guys at the gym to the husband , for my boyfriend, the first streaker at the Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole. Intriguing!
Next week.....my blind date with Mr. Utah!

Findings:
I feel better, am a little stronger and can now do 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Although as James says, I only did it once. It will happen again....I am determined.

Things that help you workout:
Ipods with good music. I especially like Thriller...and The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Helps you pick up the pace. You have to be careful to not start singing along....people stare.
