Thoughts from the gym

Is it me, or does the elliptical machine seem less effective when your feet go completely numb twenty minutes in?

Even if I weighed 100 pounds, I would never ever ever exercise in bike shorts and a sports bra. Or gold hoop earrings.

I'm really weirded out when people watch the food network while working out.

AMEN on watching food prep while working out! That goes along the lines of our old gym in LA...it had a glass wall that divided it from Ruby's. Yes, Ruby's. Yes, a GLASS wall. One could pant on a treadmill AND watch someone down a chili-cheeseburger and onion rings, simultaneously.

Yeah seriously. Yesterday someone was watching Barefoot Contessa, and I was like SERIOUSLY? I was so confoozles.

Oh man, I've watched stuff like that while working out. It's the WORST TORTURE. You leave the gym thinking, I'm starving, I'm going to go consume and burger the size of my head. Not a very effective workout.

My feet go numb on those too! I always thought it was just me. As for the hot pants and sports bra, yuck. No go.

Hey K, it's your favorite urban roommate. I moved back to the city of our origin looking for you but you were no where to be found. So I got a job and I'm trying to come to grips. It's rough. Miss you :-)

My feet go numb too? maybe its genetic? Weird? Since I haven't worked out in 9 months, i admire you greatly for doing so. i will need major motivation in about 2 months...
