I didn't make it to the gym yesterday. Why? Basically, I loaded up on plenty of protein (Coopers). Ahhh...
I never truly knew BBQ until I moved to Central Texas.
Another reason I missed the gym yesterday was because of fear!
While deer are spotted daily in the hill country it is rare that you will see a gazelle
...unless you are at Anytime Fitness. That's right! There is a gazelle at Anytime Fitness everyday, and to be honest with you...it scares me. I get it, everyone has their own form when it comes to walking on a treadmill. Some people are heavy on the breathing, (I've heard men who could air up a hot air balloon) others are cotton-pickers, (like Thurman Hanes leading a song - reach out, grab the cotton and pull it back in) and then you have the gazelle. The gazelle skips around the gym waiting for her opportunity to pounce on the treadmill. Let me see if I can explain.
The gazelle first places her hands as high as possible on the control panel. This allows her to almost lean back when she pounces. I use the word pounce because of the loud (destructive) noise that is made each time her hooves hit the rubber belt. BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! The rhythm pulsates through the gym!
The 80's leg warmers and head band usually add a unique zoo like charm to this animal.
I use to think that gazelles were graceful animals, but it's just not true. The thighs reach a perfect 90 degrees before pounding the helpless machine. Just when you think it's safe to come out of hiding, she takes a quick sip of her water and then she is right back on the prowl.
It's scary!
Is this true story a legitimate excuse to avoid the gym? No! I will try again tomorrow. You know, I always take a shower before I leave the gym. There is only one problem. The towel. When you work out, you sweat. When I get out of the shower I continue to sweat and the towel I bring just doesn't cut it. There is another problem...it's hard to maneuver the towel around my zip code. I try to sling it around my back and to other regions, but it's very tough! When you are overweight it greatly reduces your flexibility. SO! I HAVE AN IDEA! In my bathroom I'm going to install a car wash style dryer. Isn't that the answer? Seriously! Picture this...You step out of the shower and then WHAM! High-powered air from the ceiling and floor covers your body. The air moves back and forth, and their would have to be a countdown clock in front of you. This will let you know when you are dry. Well, it sounds good to me.
Yesterday was really all about great meat. I enjoyed pork loin, and ribs for lunch. For supper I enjoyed pork loin and brisket. When you eat meat from Coopers you don't need anything with it. Did this help or hurt my diet? The scales didn't move. I did enjoy a banana for a late snack. Looking forward to my workout...just hoping the gazelle is caged up while I'm there. I'll keep you posted.
