No Games Workout
I may have made a mistake… See, one of the formats J-Vicious uses at PlayFITStayFIT is games. Which…that probably shouldn’t be surprising. Because PlayFIT… But still. Introverts don’t necessarily like games. I mean, I love games. The right kinds of games. In the right environment. The problem is, the right environment, i.e. my family, mostly…

My Extra Five Pound Weights
As I mentioned. Briefly. And not at all whinily. In my previous 169.2 post. I have basically collected the equivalent of eight extra five-pound weights. That I’m carrying up and down mountains every weekend or so. It makes it far more challenging than necessary. I’m usually trying to keep up with Beautiful Beastie, after all.…

169.2
I know. I know. I’m not supposed to care about the scale. But for real? The scale is reflecting some pretty stark reality right now. 169.2 If you’ve struggled with your weight all of your life, I’m gonna sound pretty shitty right now. But look. I’ve lived most of my early life around 120 lbs.…

Gym Family
Sometimes you get lucky and find just the right place for you. Some of us have been lucky enough to find exactly that at PlayFITStayFIT. We’re a little different than the other gyms. We’re fun. And quirky. And dysfunctional. And real. And we know how to put the work in while still having fun. A…

Real ID Take Two
Remember when I went to get my Real ID? And they told me my birth certificate wasn’t proof of my actual birth? Or existence? Thank you so much. I’ll miss you guys! “…ok…you…have a nice day…” Look. I’ve spent a lot of time with the DMV folks lately. And my socials are a little more…

End of My Fitness Hiatus
“What are you guys doing???” Whatever we want! We’re grown! Went to leg day yesterday. At PlayFITStayFIT. Haven’t been there in a minute. Because PlayFITStayFIT classes coincide with my post-work coma schedule. It’s hard to work around that. Because work is fully draining. Like, as I’m walking out of the building at 4pm (3:56 pm…because…

Upstairs Podracer
I almost fell asleep on my way to PlatFITStayFIT yesterday. But managed to stay awake long enough to get there. Early. I’m early! “It’s 4:25.” I know! I’m early! “Class starts at 4:00.” But no. I start at 4:35. Except. I’m early! Find you a gym trainer that will let you bully him into adjusting…

Flex Format Friday
Teacher work day. Should be a pretty easy, relaxed day. I mean, not so relaxed that they’ll let us do our work from home. In our comfy clothes. Where we have full access to our refrigerators. Where all of our stress foods are. Because the people who are working nights and weekends when they’re not…
