do you know what a loaf of white bread would do to my abs?
I've been enjoying watching "Work Out" on Bravo this season, though I find it difficult to believe next week's episode will be the season finale. How can that be? And what will I do without my weekly dose of motivation to hit the gym? I guess I'll have to find it elsewhere -- "So You Think You Can Dance" is okay for watching while flipping through magazines, and it's kind of fitness-inspirational.
Not that I need much motivation to work out these days, because my gym is finally open! And it's awesome. The best part, I have to say, is the theater at the back, where they've set up a whole bunch of cardio machines -- elliptical trainers and treadmills and bikes -- in front of a huge screen where they show movies.
Now, the movies they choose are really odd ("The Prestige" is at least from this decade, but "The Outsiders" was kind of odd, and I'm not sure I'd ever heard of "Big Fat Liar" before the other day ... In fact, I'm not sure I ever wanted to), but the theater itself is genius. A dark room where shy people like me can work out without feeling like everybody's staring at them? Brilliant! And maybe one of these days they'll show something I really want to see.
Anyway, time to go work out. I've lost 20 pounds in the last six months, and since my wedding dress fits nearly perfectly I can't afford to lose much more weight, but I want to see what today's movie is. And work out yesterday's soreness.
