Leg day and bloating
Okay… I love being a woman….. long legs, fun clothes, able to adorn self with pretty things that sparkle, nailpolish, hairdos and highlights…really it is fun….
I also dislike it…not all the time…just the bloating time. How is it a woman can go to bed looking lean and wake up looking like I injected myself with marshmallow??? really, this bloating thing is extreme. I can almost see the fluid rising to the top of my muscle…
So, today was leg day… I love leg day. I remember when I used to hate it…. now, they are fun! The hurt is unbearably bearable. To make it more extreme, right after putting myself through the paces, I strapped on my heels and headed off to work. I could feel my workout all day 
yay!!!!
I read so many things about people’s bad experiences with people in the gym that I just want to comment…. I go to a great gym, just around the corner from my home (that is partly why it is great….proximity). Depending on the time of the day you go, the culture in the gym changes drastically. for me, my fav. time is from 5am-7am… the median age is probably 51, and the people that go are so full of life and fun!
Literally, when you walk in, each of the 8 or so people greet each other by name and as people push their bodies on the cardio equipment, they share great stories and great insight…. No one ever is rude and everyone is always encouraging and interested in each other’s well-being. AND when a new person shows up….they are greeted just as warmly!! I am so thankful for this group! So, George, Frank, Betsy, Dave, Elise, Karen, Jim, Tim, Scott, Bruce, Mark, Suzanne and fastman…..thankyou for helping 5am be my most favorite time of my day!!!
