So, I joined a gym. Sort of. It's actually a Community Center and it only costs me $20 a YEAR because I am member of said Community.
And because I pay taxes on that shit.
It was just built a couple years ago and why, may I ask, was I never informed I could work out there? It's really quite nice and lovely, as far as gyms go.
Anyway, I'm super happy because now I can stop being bored on the long jogs/walks outside, plus it's going to be winter soon (yeah I know, so sad) and outside stuff just won't happen. I can also stop mooching gym guest passes from my friends and sneaking into the hotel's fitness center every morning.
There is a weight room, a cardio room, and the rest basically looks like a huge high school gym. Basketball on one half, volleyball net on the other. There is also batting cages and a place to hit golf balls. Above the courts is a second story track. I've yet to try that out, because running in circles makes me want to shoot myself pretty much. I'd much rather run in one place, on a moving belt, like a hampster in a cage. Makes perfect sense.
I was on the elliptical the other day, and from my machine I could see a portion of the track. I found the perfect way to pass my time and fulfill some OCD cravings. Using the countdown time on the elliptical, I could figure out how fast people were walking or jogging a mile. It's a complicated process and took some brain power to keep each person separate, not to mention having to use some major memory skills to count how many times each person was going around, but let me tell you... I was done with 60 minutes of cardio before I realized what happened.
It's all a dream come true, this Community Center. Eight to ten minutes from my house, on my way home from work, not crowded. My only complaint would be that it has weird hours, but seriously. $20 per year. I really won't complain about that.
I played volleyball with my brother, his girlfriend, and another friend of ours. I seriously rule at volleyball. Just sayin.
It's the one and only sport I'm good at.
Ten more lbs to lose, and I mainly just want to tone everything up. Should be pretty easy now.
Thank you, Community Center.
I'll be moved into my new place by this Friday and I'm actually excited. I didn't think it was possible for me to be excited about moving... again. But I am. My own bathroom and a dishwasher makes me a little tingly in my pants.
