Back to the Gym

I haven’t felt like writing lately. I haven’t felt like doing much lately. I think the winter blahs truly had a hold on me. So in order to break its spell, I recommitted to working out. Yesterday, I went to the gym. All my old favorites were there.

Zodiac asked me where I had been…he had missed me. He’s such a nice guy. We chatted for a bit – mostly about my pathetic love life. He thinks I’m too shy. I know it’s because I’m too particular - yeah, I actually want a guy with morals, a brain, a sense of humor and a decent body. Damn my high standards! But hell, I not too shy! Zodiac is having cataract surgery on his right eye this week. He already had his left eye done. I am hoping it will go well for him.

Nice Girl wasn’t there last night but I did see her a week ago on my first day back. She was wondering what happened to me. She had hoped all was well with me. She is the other person I had wondered and thought about the most after I stopped going to the gym. It was nice to see her.

JabberJaws (JJ) wasn’t there but JJ2 was. I never see these two guys lift or use the equipment. Ususally they are standing next to one of the regulars just chatting away. The gym is their social outlet. JJ usually stops by to chat with me. Nice Girl told me that they were discussing me and why I had stopped going to the gym a couple of weeks ago. He told her that my boyfriend, who was in law enforcement probably wouldn’t let me go any more. Now that’s a double hoot! I mean me, a boyfriend. Ha! And as if ANY man can tell me what to do – hahaha! And, if one were to forbid me to do something…well, even if I didn’t want to do it, I’d be doing it – probably twice as often, too. I can’t wait to see JJ and tease him about how my boyfriend is going to arrest him for talking to me!

Besides Nice Girl and Zodiac, the usual cast of eye candy was there. Rising Sun and Marley (along with some of his wailers) were still lifting together. They are usually my primary form of entertainment while at the gym. So absolutely fabulous to watch. A few new guys...one who is in competetion with Ghiradeli and Lindt. Hmmm...not sure what to name him. And, Tall, Dark and Handsome was there. He has such a fabulous shape. Maybe one of these days he'll actually look at me so I can smile at him and try to strike up a conversation. I bet he's married (no ring on his finger but he's working out) or has a gf...he seems to only be concerned with his work out.

But in all, it was a wonderful trip. Lots of entertainment... in the form of overflowing testosterone. Testosterone is God's ensurance that men will do stupid things to either irritate or entertain women. I love it!

Maybe the next trip will inspire me to write my top 10 favorite things about the gym!
