Did you know you can get in trouble working out? I don't mean trapping yourself under a machine or picking a fight. I mean - like being put in time-out. Time Out.
Well, you can. I can personally attest to it.
I've been very good about going and working out everyday. I'm serious about this. I really want to get back into shape and even though it's only been a week - I'm feeling better already.
But I'm a bit "overly focused". I tend to be that way when I have a goal or I really enjoy something. So the other day I went in and really put everything I had into my work out. So much so that my face got red. That's normal for me. I know I have to push myself to get to the next level and a red face tells me I'm doing what I need to do. However, they do not know that. So I had to sit out 3 parts of the cycle to "rest". Yeah. I was wigglin' in that chair like a kid put in the corner. Anyway - I finally get to get back at it and I do. Focus focus focus.
Now - you do two circuits and that's your work out. Done. I'm feeling pretty good after two and start a third. More is better - right?!?
Wrong. They caught me. I was told if I continue to "push too hard" I'll hurt myself and before they let that happen I'll have my membership revoked.
YIKES!!! So - I'm still focusing really hard. Pushing as hard as I can - and staying within the rules. But geez.......I'm lookin' for results here folks!
Oh - and did I mention T1G is my emergency contact? Heheheh Poor Guy. Can you imagine THAT call?!?!

Why don't you send a little bit of that motivation my way!
Posted by: Sissy at September 2, 2005 07:16 PMheh heh heh... you know I've gotta say it...
you did NOT get out of shape over night - you won't get back in shape over night either! If you didn't get enough while working out - go home and take a walk.. *grin*

My feeling is you pay them for the use of their facility, you should be able to work as hard as you like, as many times as you like, as long as you aren't interfering with anyone else's workout.
T1G "She passed out??? Just throw some tequila on her, she'll be fine...You don't have tequila? Just drop her off at Fritz's, I'll meet you. She'll be fine!"
Posted by: TNT at September 3, 2005 09:03 AMHeheh... TNT! Scary, but I had started to leave a comment along those lines! LMAO!
"Could you just drop her off at Fritz's? Thanks... Yeah, I'm sure she'll be okay, she just tends to go a little overboard at times." :)
