So, remember that gym membership that I was feeling all ambivalent about? I cracked. I bought a stinking membership. And I hid the little barcode behind the Kroger FreshValues card on my keychain. I guess that makes me a self-loathing gym member. ?
Angie has been good enough to let me follow her around at the gym until I feel a little less like a sore thumb. (although my thumbs have seen the least of the soreness lately..)
The atmosphere there just unnerves me a little. The music they play. And this public service commercial that came on between the music at one point while i was crouched on this cushy pleather board under some staggering 15 or 20 lb weights.. It was a health message about water. Did you know? Water not only hydrates your body, but it also fills you up. Drink plenty of water, and don't confuse your body's signals of thirst for signals that it wants sugary snacks. Just drink water--drown those hunger pangs-- and your body will thank you!
I was reminded of that one as I filled up my drinking glass at the water cooler at work. Right before buying myself a Baby Ruth from the vending machine. And eating it.
