Affirmation at the Gym

[pamojamo]

As you read this, keep in mind I'm about 100 pounds over weight. But I've always been one who enjoys exercise.
Thursday after my workout, this tall, strapping, in-shape looking man stopped to tell me how hard I was working out. He was on the machine next to me and he must have looked at how I had everything programmed. I was on a Cybex cardio machine and I had the resistance set to the maximum level of 100. He wanted to know how in the world I could do that. It wasn't a slam about my size, he was wishing he could do the same and was speaking in admiration! Then as I walked down the hall to leave, someone else, who had not heard that conversation stopped to tell me how hard I work. She asked me if I was trying to be Arnold Swarzenegger (sp?).
I think I walked a little taller all day! Just wanted to share that with you guys.

That is such an awesome thing to hear. That boosted your self esteem up big time I bet!
So, going to the gym has it's benefits more then just getting in a good workout! ;)
Good for you! Now, you may just motivate me to get myself in gear and exercise! :)

misslinda,

Ricky Martin was the 90's, if you want to put on 80's leotard and legwarmers (don't forget the headband) you'll have to listen to another Rick, Rick Springfield! :)

Oh, do I miss the 80's. (sigh)

[vegggeeemom]

Dancer,

Oh, glad that you knew what era Ricky Martin was in! I surely didn't! LOL

Hmmm, now you got me curious to what 80's music is like!

Yes, I'm old enough, but didn't listen to all that stuff growing up. :)

[Purl]

"working class dog" was the first cassette I ever owned! BWAHAHAHA! way to go pamojamo!!!

[Dancer]

I've done everything for you... you've done nothing for me.

LOL. I have it on vinyl and casette. Ha Ha Ha

[JinxieKat]

Oh goodnes.. My first vinyl album was the soundtrack to that first movie Madona did.. was it Who's that girl? I know that was one of her songs, I cannot remember if it was the movie title or not too. My first cassette tape was.. I hate to admit it, Michael Jackon's Thriller! Oh my how time has changed _that_!

But.. OT.. Kudos to your gym success! I'm working on the exercise piece of this journey. I do go to clogging class once a week and I need to get looking and feeling better for the recital in June. Yikes! I still cannot belive I agreed to doing a dance recital after all these years. It's been 14 years since I've done a dance class, let alone got onstage. Fun fun!
