….since the journey started.   Some of my reflections of hittin’ the gym six days a week over the last 52 weeks…pretty much in chrono order.

1.      Day one….trainer says “154 lbs!!!….boy, I’m gonna have some fun with you”

2.      Hey, what’s Creatine, anyhow, let alone CEE??

3.      Why is harder to put those 45 lber DB’s back on the rack after working ‘em than it was to take them off?

4.      Traps…are those something you catch “critters” in??

5.      Fellow “gym rat” said…”..man, look at those “chicken legs”

6.      Why is harder to put those 55 lbers DB’s back on the rack after working ‘em than it was to take them off?

7.      I’m supposed to be gaining weight, not losing it!!…WTF.

8.      Stop spittin’ on my mirrors!!!

9.      Ectomorph…mesomorph….endomorph….what am I a “caveman”???

10. Grunting costs 25 cents in the donation box please. 

11. Stop throwin’ those dumbbells down!!

12. Hey bro, can you “spot me”?…Then I say…”ah….um….that’s 250 lbs what am I supposed to do?”

13.  Bring on the RED MEAT…TUNA….CHICKEN….PROTEIN SHAKES….EXTREME MILK CHOCOLATE…..NO LIVER PLEASE.  Everything else I’ll eat…unless it’s nailed down or still crawlin’ (tribute to my “southern” bodyspace friends).

14.  Who put that sh - - station on the sound system??

15.  Why is harder to put those 65 lbers DB’s back on the rack after working ‘em than it was to take them off?

16.  Whatya mean the bank didn’t send my monthly payment this month?

17.  Hey bro….you look like you work here, where the hell’s the front desk staff??

18.  Dear members…due to cut backs, the front desk will no longer be ‘staffed’ from 5 AM to 8:30.  Ok…just give me a key, I’ll let myself in.  Awesome…I can pick my own station to listen to!!

19.  Why is harder to put those 75 lbers DB’s back on the rack after working ‘em than it was to take them off?

20.  Whatya mean the Jazzercise ladies are takin’ the place over in the evening??  I have to “dodge all 30 of them” to get into the weight room.  This can’t turn out right…or just maybe it can??

21.  Hey Geoff, we have some new members, would you show them around and keep an eye on them if they come in to work out in the early AM?  Yea…if the “Good Samaritan rule applies….and….hmmm….discount membership??

22.  First one shows up….I tell him….”boy, I’m gonna have some fun with you”.

23.  164 lbs…..ahhhhhh….feels good.

24.  Hmmmmm….now what?
