Illusory Emergencies
Who knows what this means? I did. When I arrived at the gym tonight, J-Vicious said that if I could explain what the workout was, he would reduce the numbers required for each round. My first instinct was to phone a friend. Fall Risk. For help. J-V nixed that plan. Claiming that she just wouldn’t…

Gym Nicknames
Ole Dorito Bag. That’s…*SIGH*…that’s apparently my new nickname. I don’t even eat Doritos anymore. And do we really have to throw the “ole” in front? What started off as a pleasant gym reunion. With Fall Risk. And LL. And me. All of J-Vicious’s favorite and least disruptive clients. Together again. For a PlayFITStayFIT workout. And…

Blood on the Greenway
Fall Risk made me go to Arm Day at PlayFITStayFIT yesterday. So everything that follows is a direct result of her directive. And this… …is what follows. It was a beautiful day yesterday. I wanted run. (Also, I’ve got races I’m untrained for since Beautiful Beastie abandoned me for a whole month, so I really…

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
Sometimes you just have to cut people out of your life, you know? You have to set your boundaries, and if they choose to violate those boundaries… Or fine, maybe you don’t actually set boundaries, but they should know where the boundaries should be. And then not violate them. Even if you haven’t actually set…

Turning Feelings Into Fitness
When I arrived at the office yesterday, my boss asked me to cover the front desk. Our actual person was out, and I was the next best option. I was also the only option, but let’s just say best. I like best. Yes. Absolutely. I will absolutely cover the front desk. “Great. While you’re there,…

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.…
