Gym membership

[judecorp]

Today I actually went and signed up for a gym membership at the gym I previewed. I found out that several people from my work go there too, though most of them are (YUCK) morning work-out-ers so I will never see them. Coworker Amanda joined today too, and she is an evening work-out-er so maybe we can make some play dates or something. I really require peer pressure to keep up an exercise regimen, which is why I need a gym that offers a lot of aerobics classes. When I just go by myself and use machines, I always manage to talk myself out of doing more work.

I even did a little working out today! I figured since I've been living the life of a sloth for the last year or so that I should start slow, so I just did 45 minutes of speed-walking on the treadmill and then fled home to watch "American Idol." I will probably do the same thing tomorrow just to get into the swing of things. I have an appointment at 6:00 on Thursday to meet with one of their trainers to show me all of the machines and stuff, so that should be fun, too. Then I can start picking and choosing what classes I want to go to, and maybe I can con Amanda into going to one with me. (I'm never sure with the people I work with, I always feel so out of sync with them. I used to think Amanda didn't really like me but maybe I'm wrong. Who knows?)

I've been doing a lot of thinking and I really hope I can keep all of this up. I'd like to get back into better shape and I really need to stop eating so much crap food (especially at staff meetings and on weekends). I want to be a healthier person when we start spawning and who knows? Maybe if I get into super shape and get all my body crap sorted out I'll change my mind about having babies and trying to go through all of that fertility drama. It would take some of the heat off of Jennifer since I think she is majorly pregnancy-paranoid (and I'm not).

Wow, this is totally random. I'm sad that the "American Idol" try-outs are almost done, because those are my favorite!

So, where is this gym at?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It's in the strip mall on Morrissey with the DURIAN ICE CREAM. (Lambert's Fitness Center for Women or something like that.)

[juliann.livejournal.com]

Do they actually serve durian flavoured ice cream?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes. It is one of the most vile things ever. (We have a pretty enormous Asian population in Dorchester, especially Vietnamese, so I imagine the flavor appeals to them more.)

Yay! another one for the dark side
:D

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Which dark side am I on now? :)

Aaah. Well contrary to my current Chronicles of a Slovenly Lifestyle, I used to be in really good shape. Like, crew-team-exercise-every-day-totally-buff shape. I miss those days. But really I just want to be healthy and less sloth-like again.

Whoa, look back in your journal to when you were petrified of pregnancy! Why have you changed, the baby madness? :)

You could of course just adopt and then neither one of you has to get pregnant, whee! A;though I know adoption is hard for a lesbian couple but I suspect many international adoption agencies don't care.

Don't get me wrong, I am still terrified of pregnant women. In fact, there are at least three pregnant women at work right now and I stay clear of them! (I need to learn to deal sometime, though, especially since Jen wants to be pregnant someday.) I wonder if I would be freaked out by my own body.

We /do/ plan to adopt someday, but if we did international adoption it would require a huge chunk of money upfront that we won't have for a long time. (Probably not until we buy a house and can take out equity.)

i'm glad last night's Idol was all good people, though. i was getting kind of fed up with the bad people screeching in my ear

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there were a lot of good people last night. I really liked that nerdy-looking guy who wasn't supposed to be able to talk.

[folkyboy.livejournal.com]

haha yeah he so looked like an American Idol

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You should get your ass on the show!

[folkyboy.livejournal.com]
