New Year's Resolution makers...I have a love/hate relationship with them.
I love that people are working on getting healthy this year! I know that for me it is hard to go to the workout facility. So I am proud that others are getting there. For some reason it makes me want to go too.
However, I hate that its hard to find a treadmill or elliptical once I have convinced myself to get to the gym. The whole time I am waiting, I am thinking to myself,
"I have never seen that lady or that guy before, what makes them think its ok to come and steal my machine. They are just here because they made a resolution. I was running 3 or 4 times a week before Jan. 1 so I should get first dibs...jeez louize."
I think the gym should look like this when I arrive.
Look at all those empty treadmills, your personal tv...man it doesn't get any better than that, not to mention what looks like a wonderful view.
Oh I have also discovered something else about the gym that I hate - channel flippers. Seriously, this guy last night must have changed the channel on the tv "in front" of him like 15 times during the course of his workout. How he got put in charge of the remote, I shall never know, but I should have taken a closer look at him to make sure that the power of the remote doesn't tempt him again.
Each time I was just beginning to get into reading the subtitles (I need an ipod with a tuner please, so if anyone needs a tax write off...you could donate one to me:) ) of whatever program he was on, he changed the channel. We watched a basketball game for a while, it was close and almost over, then he changed it to Turner Classic Movies...seriously.
I was thinking, back away from the remote buddy and no one will get hurt. I think he was at the gym for the free cable.
I might go so I can watch House Hunters on HGTV, but that's not the only reason...
And with that, I will conclude vol. 5 of Love It...Hate It...
