If you need entertainment... THE GYM!

So we all know that my rendezvous with the gym doesn't happen very often. There are times when I am on rolls and hit the gym every day for at least three days straight (hey... thats a lot and an accomplishment for me). Since I've moved down to California though, it had not happened after many failed attempts because the gym that I have a membership with is too far and by the time we drive down there, it would be a workout in itself.

Finally though, Sam added me to his family membership thingy (although I still have my membership that is still withdrawing money... $30 every month for the past 8 months I haven't been there... what a dumb ass I am for not canceling... still not canceling but yet have the time to sit here and blog about it). We hit the gym two days straight... whoo hoo! That streak has to end because I am leaving today for almost a week. LOL... yep... another excuse! Anyway... I was so entertained and learned a whole lotta.

• If you want to know the latest middle aged Cambodians of Long Beach gossip, just spend some time in the womens' locker room. I swear, within three minutes of peeing and washing my hands, I learned about a Husband cheating on his wife, a Sister who lost her house due to gambling, and another cousin who is upset at her friend for borrowing her car and getting it in a wreck. Holy crap... I couldn't help but giggle walking out of there. Not because of others' misfortune, but because I couldn't believe the information I heard in only two minutes. If I was to post the actual conversation in both languages, you'd have a good giggle too.
• Ladies, if you are going to wear tight pants while working out, do not stray to lighter colors. In fact, to hopefully stay on the safe side, stick to black pants. After an intense 20 minute workout on the bike where your back and buttcheeks are pressed against the chair is bound to make you sweat. We do not need to know where you sweat, but the sweat stain on your crack is just screaming at us as you walk away. And yes, we are looking... we are ALL looking since our machines all face the same direction that you are walking towards.
• Wearing makeup to the gym is not going to make you look cute. In fact, if you really are there to work out, then it will make you look worse... will make you look dirty. I can understand if you just left work and you still have some makeup on, but please don't make it too obvious that you just spent at least 15 minutes of your workout applying it. Its obvious and yes, we can tell. If you are there only to look cute and not break a sweat, then apply away!
• PLEEEEEEASE wash your hands after the gym. Its gross. All those sweaty palms... and some of the guys who need to move around in their shorts (if you know what I mean)... all grabbing and touching and sweating their germs on the same machines that you are going to be grabbing next. Ick!
• Deodorize. Please. I don't care how much you think the fan on that treadmill will prevent your sweat, you WILL sweat. And even if you can't see yourself sweating, the people next to you can smell you sweating. Please, please, please.

Oh man... two days at the gym and I am already b*tching about it. This is NOT a good sign.

The upside to the gym? I get to buy clothes and shoes with a new excuse, "to go to the gym".

I've tried many and this is one of my favorite work out shoes... or running shoes:

Asics Gel Kayano 13

I think I am due for a new pair because mine has been through quite a bit. Surprisingly, I might just get the same ones in a different color. (although I kinda like that Periwinkle color) Yeah, they are that good for me to want them again.

OH OH OH... and I got an invitation to be a Yelp Elite! LOL... I responded with a YES, YES, YES... and now waiting on approval from the higher beings in San Francisco. Wish me luck... I've been wanting to attend these Yelp parties with FREE FOOD for awhile. LOL... I'm serious.

SO much to do today and I promised myself to stay off the computer as much as I can. My To Do list seems never ending, but I guess its what I get for procrastinating. My plane leaves right when Sam is off work. Yikes!

Okay... maybe I will be back after cleaning, packing, cleaning, organizing, leaving things for Sam to work on and preparing a lot of his lunches and dinners (or try to). We shall see but wish me luck!

Teedaloo!!
