I’m Swole
There’s something so incredibly satisfying when you show up to the gym for arm day. And everyone gets down on the floor for the first exercise. Because push ups. And with the very first movement, your trainer makes a sound like someone is trying to pull his large intestine out through his mouth. I mean,…

Gorillas in the Gym
Yesterday I had the really brilliant idea of sneaking in some gym time before my PMP study group. I don’t normally go to the gym on Tuesdays because of study group. But I’ve made some really good progress at the gym this month, getting rid of one of my extra five pound weights. And working…

Friday Fitness Summative
Fridays at PlayFITStayFIT are what Big Lick calls our weekly summative. Just a summary of what we’ve done throughout the week. And what we’ve done this week – our no games week, because Sunshine whines too much, and now everyone hates her, but she doesn’t care because she hates games more – was challenging. A…

Keep Your Friends…In A Different Class

No Games Workout

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…

Insert Nickname Here
New Year New Me, right? Had a salad for lunch. And then went straight to the gym after work. My plan was to go for a quick run on the greenway before class. But J-Vicious saw [Insert Nickname Here] walk past the gym. And into Dominos. “Sunshine! I need you to run into Dominos and…
