a history of me

With a big party tonight, I thought I'd share a few thoughts this afternoon regarding my workout experience. After about a week of minimal change, the scale finally yielded another pound yesterday. Hopefully it won't be another week before I see more results.

The club where I work out is kind of odd. Nearly everyone in there is middle aged or beyond, with quite a few elderly folks. Yesterday I saw the strangest sight: two old women, one of them particularly older than the other. Possibly a mother/daughter combo. Both were dressed for an evening out, the "younger" one in heels. She was trying to get the "older" lady to do some light exercise but neither one seemed particularly interested in any physical activity. It almost felt like they were there waiting for someone and just trying to do something to pass the time.

I rarely see anyone remotely young in there. Today there was a welcome surprise; a very attractive and fit young lady who was exercising and stretching by the elliptical trainers which I use twice every day. I considered trying to approach her but it seemed awfully shady. I suppose the last thing she wants is some strange guy (especially one who looks like me) approaching her.
