Abuelo Spandexo Strikes Again

I know you're all on the edges of your seats wondering if I've found my keys, but that's tomorrow's blog post.

Went to the gym last night. Kevin reports that 'Abuelo Spandexo', heretofore known as the old guy who (inappropriately) wears the spandex shorts, settled in on the bench in the locker room with a newspaper and camped out for awhile yesterday. Is that really what you want to do in a locker room? "Oh, don't mind me you sweaty, naked, mens!"

Also, there was a girl who was lying on the floor doing all kinds of painful looking ab exercises, and she was wearing a strand of pearls. Granted, I don't think they were real, but still they looked pretty funny accenting her workout attire. I guess she thought she needed an extra feminine touch to off-set the sweat and the pained look on her face.

I sat down on one of the birthing balls (what are they called in a gym setting?) and wondered what I would do if it had popped when I sat on it. I decided that I would probably leave the gym in shame and never go back. And probably would have had to break up with my boyfriend for laughing at my misfortune. Thank goodness that didn't happen.

Anyway, I had a good leg workout last night. I went home and congratulated myself by eating the remaining Milky Way Eggs, which have no nougat in them! What's up with that? Milky Ways have caramel AND nougat in them. The picture on the package showed eggs with caramel AND nougat in them. The eggs had no nougat, just caramel. I ate them just the same.

Sounds like fun at the gym -- LOL at the gal wearing pearls as part of her workout outfit, real or no. I guess pearls make her feel prettier as she sweats, LOL!

And ha, "birthing balls." You know, I've never really understood what the heck those things are for.

Yum, milky way eggs! I also love Cadbury eggs. Gotta find chocolate... :)

Have a great day, and thanks for visiting my blog! :)

Oh, I use the balls all the time in the gym. LOVE them; they destabilize you so that your core works harder.

If you search my blog for "it's True, I am Trevor Wolff," you'll see my favorite gym story.

I spun today; my legs probably feel like yours do!
