I die. At the gym.

January 13, 2010 No Comments

I’ve only been making it to the gym twice a week. I’ve been trying to do something different so I don’t get bored of attending. When I first joined a while back I was going 5 and 6 days a week and just running. Each time I go now, I’m usually (well, subconsciously) working out my upper leg muscles. First was spin class, then I did a strength class where we did a stupid amount of lunges and then the other day I did a “wave” class. It’s supposed to mimic snowboarding and skiing type movements and sort of looks like an elliptical but I hate the elliptical since I can’t work them correctly.

The class was only 20 minutes of intense … “waving”? I don’t feel sore today, but I’ll be doing it again. While I was taking the class I wanted to die â€” I love that feeling, but I can barely hold onto it for too long. I’m so signing up for next weeks wave. I love how all the machines have their own individual TVs to look at â€” anything to keep my brain occupied since I hate going to the gym. But these classes and instructors are just the greatest. Well, for now. (Hello best weight loss products. HA!)

Daily, Wasting Time

Put this in your mouth

Since we got Alfie, I’ve been waking up an hour earlier so I could get some extra play time in with him, before I need to leave for work. During this time we both eat breakfast together (he’s such a fast eater. What an oinker), and then I turn on the TV for some background noise and play fetch with him. However, I couldn’t help but notice some of the atrocious commercials on TV lately.

Have you seen the new ridiculous “diet” one promoting some weight loss thing that isn’t a fat burner pills, or a diet that you have to be on for so long… but rather something like a dental retainer that you put in your mouth while you eat, so you’ll take smaller bites, and get fuller faster? Have you guys seen that? Tell me you’ve seen that! I almost feel like that’s sort of dangerous. I’m not sure if it’s more so dangerous than taking some random diet pills. But poor naive people will definitely fall for this crap, and it really bothers the heck out of me.

What do you think? I can’t remember the company’s name right now for the life of me…Â but it’s sort of cartoony but there’s a woman there somewhat demonstrating it. Ugh!
